1.9.0

Two new apps, a new layout preset, and a fix to how social walls handle posts that are only words.

• New app: Social Mix. Instagram, Facebook and X on one wall, with every post badged with the network it came from so a room can tell them apart at a glance. Each network is read from a link — either a wall service's feed or an RSS feed — and the manager fetches them, so the screens only ever talk to the manager. One feed going down no longer empties the wall; the others carry on.
• New app: MustHaveMenus. Put a menu you designed at musthavemenus.com on a screen by pasting its Share link, then republish the design whenever you want the screens to follow. A menu with several pages can play through all of them and hand back to the playlist when it reaches the end. A link that was never published is refused when you save it, instead of leaving a blank screen in the dining room, and a page number your menu does not have is refused for the same reason.
• New: a Four columns preset in the app zone editor. Four full-height panes side by side, the upright counterpart to Quarters.
• Social walls now draw posts that are only words. A post with no picture used to leave a photo-shaped gap on the wall, which showed up most on Facebook pages that post text.
• Menus and walls are sized by the manager rather than by the site they came from, so they fill the screen properly on older TV panels.

Your screens do not need updating for any of this. New boards are built on the manager and arrive over the network, so a TV shows them without being touched. The version number on the TV apps moves with each release only to keep the fleet on one number.
