Ontime Files

This release is full of server improvements and some rounding up of features as groundwork for what is coming up. We are excited to put it all together in a sequence of great features and a new v5 release.

Whats new

• Both the timeline and the studio clock views can now show a user chosen secondary text field
• The logging system was reviewed with new features to help debugging connections and issues in Ontime
• The desktop app can now warn users when new versions are released

Whats better

• The countdown view can now handle skipped events consistently, otherwise we have also reviewed this interface and flows for best user experience
• Several performance improvements were made to the server and UIs, so we have plenty performance budget to a create new flows

We have also included several minor bug fixes and style tweaks
