What changed in each release

All notable changes to PlanningPoker.

0.3.0 - 2026-10-31

Added

  • Discussions: before the first vote, or between two voting rounds, the owner or an admin can start a discussion of the ticket with Discuss First or Discuss. Voting opens when they click Start Voting.
  • Discussion timebox: rooms can set how long a discussion should take (5, 10 or 15 minutes, or no limit). When the timebox runs out, a short chime plays and the timer turns red and counts the overtime. The discussion goes on until the vote is started.
  • Mute the chime: a speaker button next to the timer mutes the chime for you. It is remembered in your browser.

0.2.0 - 2026-10-14

Added

  • Room passwords: room owners can protect a room with an optional password. Joining a protected room asks for the password once; a reload does not ask again. Rooms without a password work as before.
  • Zen Mode: a per-user toggle that strips the room down to the round table and the voting cards while you vote. It is remembered in your browser.
  • Welcome tour: a short guided tour of the landing page and the room for first-time visitors. It only runs once per browser.
  • Room menu: connection status, user settings, room settings and the minimal mode are now in one menu in the room.

Changed

  • Polished dialogs, the user list and room creation.

Fixed

  • Rooms could stop working in the browser.
  • Dialog titles were not shown.
  • Role labels of minimized roles in the user list.
  • Empty rooms are cleaned up reliably again.
  • A password protected room always stays protected. If the room can no longer be joined, you are sent back to the start page.
  • A protected room now asks for the password again when needed, instead of trying to reconnect endlessly.

0.1.0 - 2026-09-23

First versioned release.
