Version history
Every Game DJ release, newest first. The app updates itself in the background, so you're normally on the latest version already — this page is here for when you want to know what actually changed.
How updates work: new versions download quietly while you work and install the next time you restart the app. Nothing to download by hand before a game.
0.1.8 · 11 August 2026
Announcements
- Match times are read like a clock. The announcer now says "at one thirty" instead of "at one minute thirty seconds" — shorter, and much closer to how a real announcer reads a game clock.
- A whole minute reads as "one flat", and single-digit seconds keep their zero: "one oh five".
- Football is unchanged: it still announces the minute in play, as in "7 minutes".
0.1.7 · 18 July 2026
New
- Line-up announcements. Read a team's roster out loud straight from the match panel — import the players once and the announcement builds itself.
- Editable speech. Adjust the wording of a generated announcement before it plays, without touching the templates.
Builds
- An Intel Mac build is published alongside Apple Silicon, so older Macs get updates too.
- The Windows build is locked to x64.
0.1.6 · 18 July 2026
Spotify on Windows
- Normal mode now works on Windows: cue start and pause run through the system media controls, the same way they do on a Mac.
- Seamless resume from pause — no restarting the track from the top.
- Cue starts no longer leak a moment of the track's own intro before the cue point.
- Per-app ducking through Core Audio, so the music drops under an announcement instead of the whole system volume.
- Fixes for the queue race that could leave the next track stuck after a pause, and for the spike a fade could produce.
Also
- Track lengths are fetched from Spotify, so the timeline shows real durations.
- The app has its own icon, and the logo is in the top bar.
- Windows installers are now built automatically on every release.
0.1.5 · 17 July 2026
- The licence view shows when your billing period ends, rather than a grace period.
- Backend: a licence can no longer be issued twice, and the activation date is shown correctly.
0.1.4 · 17 July 2026
- Manage your subscription from inside the app. Settings → General → License opens the Paddle customer portal — cancel, switch card, or download invoices without emailing anyone.
- Device management made more reliable: the device list is stored on its own.
0.1.3 · 17 July 2026
- Spotify has named modes — normal and developer — so it's clear which one you're running.
0.1.2 · 16 July 2026
New
- Match announcements. Sport-specific templates, editing of recorded events, and Excel export of the match log.
- Apple Music as a source, with a streaming button of its own.
Licensing
- The full chain: offline licence core, 14-day trial, an online check against the backend, and Paddle checkout that activates the app automatically when payment clears.
- Pricing page on the site, and an internal tool for issuing and managing licences.
0.1.1 · 13 July 2026
- First public release. Soundboard with categories, cue points, fades and hotkeys, the timeline, and Spotify playback.
- Automatic updates, and the Mac app is signed and notarised by Apple — it opens without security warnings.
