New

  • In-app updates. Update Grid Dash from the plugin's Updates tab - a progress bar downloads the new version and SimHub closes and reopens automatically to finish installing. No separate installer window. You can preview what's new before installing, browse a release history*, and reinstall the current version if you ever need to repair it.
  • Pre-release builds. Opt in from the Updates tab (or the installer) to try early builds before they're released; pre-release notes show in the release history. Opt back out any time to return to stable.
  • My Submissions tab. Your shared creations and their review status now live in their own Community → My Submissions tab, with the posting guidelines shown inline.
  • Report a listing. Flag a community creation for moderation right from its card.
  • Community content updates. See and apply newer versions of the components, layouts, and themes you've downloaded, with an optional automatic-update toggle - plus a one-click undo right after installing a creation if it isn't what you wanted.
  • Creator badges. Monthly Winner / Featured Creator badges appear next to a creator's name on listings.
  • Store review. Community submissions are now reviewed before they go live; you'll see the status and any rejection reason under My Submissions.
  • Alerts self-test and a distinct pit-lane alert (separate from the pit-limiter banner), with alert placement (8 positions) and clearer mini/wide styles.
  • Dark-mode hardware action. Bind a wheel/box button in SimHub to toggle True Dark on every connected dashboard.
  • Track Map options. Global map type (static / animated) and zoom, and a full-screen race-flag tint.
  • Delta reference. Choose whether the delta compares to your session best or your all-time best (via SimHub's persisted best).
  • Idle screen logo. The Grid Dash logo now shows by default when you haven't set a custom idle icon (toggle in Idle Screen settings).

Changed

  • Pit Wall is now per-layout. Enable it on the layouts you want and insert predefined Leaderboard / Telemetry / Map pages directly in the editor (the old global screen toggles are gone).
  • Android: app links added in Settings, plus kiosk / home-screen improvements.
  • Free default layouts now use the Inputs widget instead of the locked input graph, and the editor gives clearer guidance when a screen is full.
  • Clearer expired-subscription messaging across Community - why browsing works while downloads, votes, and publishing lock, and how to renew. Compatibility warnings now appear before installing a creation that needs a newer app version or premium widgets. Need activation or billing help? Contact options are shown even when you can't activate.
  • Idle-screen image picker now shows a thumbnail and automatically resizes oversized images.

Fixes & improvements

  • Activating a license now unlocks premium features immediately - no SimHub restart needed.
  • More consistent Community tabs, editor fixes, and preview-image improvements.
  • Community, licensing, and stability polish.
