Changelog Apr 23

Here are the latest user-facing improvements and fixes in CineLog, categorized by feature area.

Project Updates Feed

Dedicated Updates Screen: Introduced a brand-new “Updates” screen that provides a comprehensive activity feed for your project, accessible directly from the main navigation rail.
Day Grouping & Infinite Scroll: The feed intelligently groups updates by day for better readability and supports infinite scrolling so you can seamlessly browse your project’s history.
Filtering Capabilities: A new filter bar allows you to quickly sift through the activity feed to find specific types of updates.
Detailed Activity Logs: Activity logs are now much more descriptive. For example, when display preferences are changed, the feed details exactly what was modified instead of showing a generic message.

Color-Coded Initials: All contact and member avatars across Cast & Crew, Call Sheets, and PDF exports now display color-coded backgrounds using a deterministic palette, making it easier to visually distinguish people at a glance.
Profile Picture Support: Member profile pictures are now fetched and displayed throughout Cast & Crew cards, Call Sheet tables, and the mobile crew view. A background refresh service keeps them up to date.
Profile Pictures Toggle: A new “Profile Pictures” visibility toggle has been added to the Call Sheet display settings, controlling avatar visibility across the desktop table, mobile view, and PDF export.
PDF Avatars: Exported Call Sheet PDFs now render colored initials avatars alongside names, matching what you see in the app.

Drag-and-Drop Reordering: You can now reorder the Client and Talent sections within call sheets using drag-and-drop gestures on both desktop and mobile layouts.
Quick Navigation: Tapping a location on the mobile call sheet now opens a directions modal to launch navigation via Google Maps or Apple Maps.

Consistent Shot Numbering: Fixed an issue where the mobile app and edit dialogs ignored the user’s preferred shot number format. Whether you prefer sequential, alphanumeric, or decimal formats, they are now consistently applied across all mobile views.
Column Protection: Hardened the shot list column system to prevent accidental modification or corruption of critical system columns like ‘Status’, ‘Shot’, and ‘Day’.
Production Sequence Fixes: Resolved issues with production shot sequencing to ensure accurate ordering and calculation.
