Changelog
BeamSync updates itself in the background. Here’s what’s changed.
v2.0.24
August 2026Themes, help, and a faster worksheet
- —Four selectable colour themes — Dark, Light, Blue, and Paper — in Preferences (gear icon or ⌘,). Your choice is remembered per computer.
- —In-app Help & FAQ (press F1 or the ? button) covering the worksheet, addressing, Vectorworks sync, paperwork, cloud, and licensing.
- —"Add Fixtures…" — add a batch of fixtures in one step: pick a type from the library, set a quantity, and optionally auto-assign positions, unit numbers, channels, and sequential DMX addresses.
- —Stage Plan now works without Vectorworks: drag fixtures onto the plan from the Fixtures tray, or hit Auto-arrange to lay them out by position.
- —Fixed: Shift+Enter (fill identical) and Enter (fill sequential) on a selected range no longer revert or scramble when you click off the grid. Tab no longer discards a typed value.
v2.0.23
Power & hardware libraries
- —Power distros: Save to Library and Load from Cloud, plus a New Distro button and inline rename fix.
- —Racks & Hardware: Save to Library from the editor panel.
v2.0.21
