AHDClient 2.11.1

Desktop

• Singleplayer: new worlds start again. A world made by the app's own game now always opens on that game, never on an older downloaded version, which refused the default NPP setting with an "Invalid option" error.
• Singleplayer never offers an NPP setting the running game version cannot take.
• New worlds on the current game start in 2027. Earlier eras are under Classic eras and use the Classic game.
• The bundled game is now the current live version, with the 2027 world fixes and the free weekend access.

AHDClient 2.11.0

Phones and tablets

• The app opens straight into the game when you are signed in, on the page you were last on. Alert taps and game links still go where they point.
• A thin loading bar, and a "Cannot reach the game" screen with Retry when the connection drops.
• Alerts: the app asks once, after you sign in, whether you want alerts for votes, offers and attacks. The app icon shows your unread inbox count, alerts get an "Open inbox" button, and More has an Alerts row.
• New: "Remind me when a new turn starts" in the Alerts sheet. It is off until you turn it on.
• Game links from Discord or email open the app on that page. Sign in and account pages stay in the browser.
• iPhone: native pull to refresh, small vibrations on the status panel and new turns, outside links open in a Safari sheet, and a compact bar in landscape. Long press the icon for Inbox, Actions, Ask and Briefing.
• iPad: widgets, including extra large Overview and Stocks, hover effects, and the keyboard no longer covers the bar in windowed modes.
• Android: Back moves within a section, then leaves. Your page survives a text size change. The app and widgets are in English and German and follow the game's language. Widgets have previews, sensible sizes and show the time they updated. Landscape and tablet layouts, keyboard shortcuts on tablets and Chromebooks, a themed icon, and icon shortcuts for Inbox and Ask. If you installed outside Google Play, the app tells you when an update is out.
• Widgets use a plain sans font and show the full AHD mark.

Desktop

• Escape no longer opens Settings over the game. Settings is Ctrl or Cmd plus comma.
• A Game menu: Reload, Back, Forward, Zoom (remembered), Full screen, Ask (Ctrl or Cmd plus K), End turn, Print and a list of shortcuts.
• Opening the app again brings the open window forward, and game links open the app.
• Updates ask first, show what is new, check every 6 hours and can install on their own if you choose. Linux package installs link to the new package instead.
• A tray icon, and a setting to keep running in the tray when you close the window so alerts keep arriving. Off by default.
• New: "Remind me when a new turn starts" and quiet hours under Notifications, both off by default. The app icon shows your unread count on Mac and Linux.
• Closing the window while a world runs saves it first. If several turns are running, it asks first.
• Settings: start when you sign in, interface size, disk used by worlds, open the data folder, and reset settings.
• Your worlds: rename, see their size, export to a file and import one, and clear old autosaves.
• Singleplayer: Quick start from the era card, a boot screen that shows what it is doing, a retry screen if setup fails, and a dialog with Restart world, Report or Back if a world stops.
• Singleplayer follows the game version it runs. The Game version choice now lives in Settings, shows the real version and stays as you set it.
• Classic eras: a one time download of the earlier game for worlds made before this version. Those worlds always open on Classic.
• Hosting a world for friends shows your real network address with a Copy button.
• Images and files the game offers save to your Downloads folder.
• Keyboard and screen reader support in every dialog, and Reduce Motion is respected.
• One look across the launcher, game bar, Ask and briefing, and the app is in German throughout.

Mac 2.11.0 follows separately once its signing certificate is fixed.

AHDClient 2.9.0

• Singleplayer worlds have saves. Open Saves from the menu in the game bar, or from Your worlds, to save under a name, go back to any save, or delete one. Loading a save keeps where you were as one extra save first, so it can be undone.
• The game autosaves after every turn and keeps the last three, so a bad turn can be rolled back. Settings, under Singleplayer, can change it to every 2nd, 5th or 10th turn, or turn it off.
• Saves live in the world's own folder, so deleting a world deletes its saves. Older saves are brought up to date as they load, the same way an older world is.
• End turn can play several turns at once: pick 3, 5 or 10. It stops early when something needs you, such as a vote to cast, an offer to answer, an election you are in, an attack on you or a lost office, and then shows what happened: money and actions gained, offices won or lost, and new inbox items. You can stop it after the current turn.
• New Career worlds offer a short Getting started guide: create your character, run a Campaign, join a party, end your first turn and check your inbox. Each step ticks off when you actually do it, and you can hide or skip the guide.
• Turns in singleplayer are about a quarter faster, and setting up a new world is quicker.
• The singleplayer game no longer shows the website's cookie and analytics banner. The analytics it asked about never run in singleplayer.
• A world now refuses to start if another program is using its database port, instead of opening the wrong data.

AHDClient 2.8.1

• Fixed: in 2.8.0 a singleplayer world opened only the first time. After closing the app, it failed to load on every later start. Worlds open every time again, including any that stopped opening.

AHDClient 2.8.0

• Singleplayer now runs the current game. Earlier desktop versions carried a copy of the game from September, so local worlds were missing everything the live game gained since: the 1991 world, the newest computer-controlled politicians (V6) and the autumn economy changes.
• Fixed: starting a new singleplayer world on the recommended V6 politicians failed with an "Invalid option" message. V6 now works.
• Your existing singleplayer worlds keep working. When you open one, the game brings its data up to date with this version before you play. If one update cannot be applied, the world still opens and the game tries again next time.
• New 1991 worlds start with their opening bond markets in place.
• Fixed: charts saved as images in singleplayer failed to generate.
• Each release now records exactly which version of the game it carries, and a release can no longer go out with a game more than two weeks older than the live one.

AHDClient 2.7.0

• iPhone, iPad and Android: a tab bar along the bottom of the screen replaces the round AHD button. Game, Briefing, Inbox, Ask and More are always one tap away, and the page now ends above the bar so the game's bottom status bar is never covered.
• Tapping Game takes you back to the page you were reading. Tap it again to go to the game's home page.
• The Inbox tab shows how many unread messages you have.
• More takes you back to the launcher, where Settings and your account are.
• iPad with a keyboard: Cmd+1 to Cmd+5 switch tabs, Cmd+K opens Ask, Cmd+R reloads the page, and Cmd+[ and Cmd+] go back and forward. Hold Cmd to see the list.
• Settings has a Send test button under Notifications. On a phone it asks the game to send one alert to that phone; on a computer it shows one straight away. It then says plainly whether it worked and, if not, what to do: sign in, allow notifications, or wait for the phone to connect.
• Fewer, clearer alerts: phones and computers now only get alerts you need to act on or that are about you, such as votes to cast, offers to answer, races won or lost and attacks on your company. Routine company reports and crises in your home state stay in the inbox. This comes from the game and applies to every version of the app.
• Launcher: your account, Briefing, Settings and Ask now sit in their own bar at the top instead of floating over the title. On iPad and in narrow desktop windows they used to cover the game name.
• iPhone and Android: the launcher's top bar holds just your account and Settings; Briefing and Ask live in the new tab bar.
• Settings is easier to read. Each option shows its name and explanation on the left with its switch on the right, instead of a grey title with the switch centred underneath. It opens as a sheet from the bottom on phones.
• Settings is grouped into General, Notifications, Singleplayer, Updates and Support on every platform, and shows your AHDClient version at the top. Phones now have a Notifications heading like desktop, and the Updates section no longer appears on phones, where updates come from the store.
• Fixed: the phone Settings header showed German text with English selected. Settings is now fully translated when you choose Deutsch.
• Headings across the launcher, world setup, Briefing and desktop Ask use the same clean sans-serif type as the rest of the app.
• The Singleplayer and Worldsim Beta tags stay on one line inside the mode switch.
• The account menu closes when you tap or click anywhere else, and Escape closes it without opening Settings.
• Keyboard focus is now visible on switches, dropdowns and menus in Settings and the account menu.
• Android: the bar behind the Back, Home and Recents buttons stays dark when your phone uses a light theme, instead of showing a pale strip under the game.

AHDClient 2.6.2

• Desktop: links to outside sites open safely in your browser again.
• Desktop: confirmation prompts in the app work again.
• New singleplayer worlds start with the newest computer-controlled politicians, V6. They do the same things as V5 but decide better, such as backing stronger candidates in races they can win and counting votes before bringing a bill, with no extra money or action points. V6 is recommended in world setup, and the older levels are still there to pick.

AHDClient 2.6.0

• Ask is rebuilt for each phone. iPhone and iPad follow Apple's design and your light or dark setting; Android uses Material 3 and follows your theme. On iPad, your past chats sit in a sidebar beside the conversation.
• Ask keeps your past conversations: search them, open one to continue, start a new chat, or delete one.
• Answers are properly formatted with headings, lists and tables, and names of game pages are links that open the page in the app.
• Copy an answer, share a conversation, and mark answers helpful or not helpful.
• Ask shows how many questions you have left today and when they reset, and suggests follow-up questions after each answer.
• Answers can include maps and charts, and you can attach a screenshot or photo to a question.
• Ask holds up better on a weak connection: it retries, signs you back in if your session runs out mid-chat, keeps a partial answer if the connection drops and lets you retry, and keeps your draft and conversation when you close and reopen it.
• Widgets show more: market cap for your corporation, state and national influence, and how each figure is moving per turn, with clearer price charts that stand out from the background.
• Android widgets now match iPhone, including a new Overview widget with the turn countdown.

AHDClient 2.5.0

• Desktop: inbox alerts now appear as system notifications on Windows, macOS and Linux while AHDClient is open. Each one shows the alert's title, its category and the message, and several at once end with a count of what else is waiting. They stay quiet while you are looking at the live game.
• Desktop: new Notifications section in Settings to turn desktop alerts on or off. They start on; a fresh install begins from your current inbox instead of replaying old alerts.
• Android: alerts now arrive in one notification channel per category (Crisis, Elections, Legislation, Party, Treasury, Standing, System), so you can silence or change the sound for one kind in Android Settings. Crisis alerts can pop up over other apps.
• Android: signing in with Discord no longer stops on "Session expired" when your phone's browser, rather than the Discord app, opens the Discord approval page. The browser now sends you back to the app to finish.
• Android: the game's bottom character bar no longer sits under the Back, Home and Recents buttons on phones that use three-button navigation.
• Android: Ask works after you link your game account. It used to say the account was not linked every time, even right after linking succeeded.
• iPhone and Android: Ask has a cleaner screen in the app's own dark style: a clear link step when needed, starter questions in an empty chat, a proper Send button, and the model and sources shown quietly under each answer. On iPhone, the choice between online and on-device answers moved into the options menu.
• Android: the sandbox is back for linked supporters. iPhone keeps it off.
• Settings on every platform has an Alert types button that opens the game settings, where you can mute the kinds of alerts you do not want. Mutes and snoozes apply to phone and desktop alerts alike.

AHDClient 2.3.19

Desktop Ask stays native and reuses the existing game login. Opted-in anonymous simulation statistics upload on the first sample, End turn, launcher return, and Save and stop. Source maps are stripped from the bundled game.

Installers are built by the desktop bundles workflow on this tag.
