Changelog
What's new in OmniPlot
Release notes and product updates.
New Cancel mid-job — an Abort button now appears while a cut is in progress. Click it and the plotter finishes its current move, stops, and saves a resume point so you can pick up where you left off.
New Cut Agent v1.2.0 — the serial port now stays open between patterns, eliminating a class of mid-job plotter resets. Previously, opening and closing the port between each pattern could trigger a hardware reset on some devices.
Improved Patterns are now sent one at a time to the cutter with automatic pacing — the app waits for each piece to finish cutting before sending the next. This fixes the long-standing issue where only the first pattern would cut and the rest were skipped.
Improved Auto-probe port error improved — if the serial port is left locked after a failed probe attempt, a "Release & Retry" button now releases it from the agent in one click instead of requiring an agent restart.
Improved Agent stop button on the Agent page now shows a spinner and disables while the agent is shutting down, preventing double-clicks.
Fix macOS agent download temporarily shows "Coming Soon" while we prepare a signed build. Windows and Linux are fully available.
Improved USB connection now restores automatically when navigating between pages — no more having to reconnect every time you leave the Studio.
Improved "Set Active" on the Plotters page now fully restores the connection type (USB, Agent, Network) in the Studio, not just the plotter settings.
Improved Roll width and material used are now shown larger and more clearly on the canvas — both numbers are labeled so it's obvious which is the roll size and which is how much you've used.
Improved A reminder now appears above the Cut button whenever a live connection is active: your cutter must be in Manual or Offline mode on its front panel before it will accept jobs.
New Pre-job flush — an abort sequence is sent to the plotter before every new job to clear any leftover state from a previous interrupted cut. Also available as a standalone Flush button on each plotter card.
New Cut job history in the Jobs page and Plotter page updates in real time — completed and failed jobs appear immediately without needing a page refresh.
New Plotters page — dedicated fleet command center for registering, monitoring, and managing all your cutting devices. Includes live job queue, 4-stat dashboard, per-device test cut, and connection-specific troubleshooting for failed jobs.
New Live agent log stream — the Plotters page opens an SSE connection to the Cut Agent and surfaces real-time events (cuts sent, errors, port activity) in a scrollable log feed.
New Plotter registration with CRUD — add and remove plotters stored in Firestore; supports Cut Agent, USB Serial, Network TCP, and Download connection types with USB auto-detect and local network scan.
Improved Shared Cut Agent state — agent online/offline status is lifted into a global reactive store so the Plotters page, Agent page, and Studio all reflect live connectivity without independent polling.
Improved Plotter settings removed from the Settings page and consolidated into the dedicated Plotters route.
New Admin billing costs page — live view of platform-level Stripe charges, payouts, and connected account fees in one place.
New "Refresh for updates" banner — when a new deployment is detected the app prompts users to reload instead of silently diverging.
Improved Admin billing refactored into a dedicated Products page with cleaner plan management and Stripe metadata sync.
Improved Stripe connected account wiring updated — billing products now sync correctly to the platform's connected account.
Improved OmniPlot logo and favicon updated to the new SG mark; favicon served from /favicon.svg with SVG type hint.
Fix Admin dashboard no longer crashes when a subscription tier has zero users — all tier counts are now initialised to 0 before aggregation.
Fix Firebase Google Sign-In restored on production: corrected missing VITE_FIREBASE_* environment variables and removed the X-Frame-Options: DENY header that was blocking the Firebase auth iframe.
New OmniPlot Cut Agent v1.0.1 — lightweight Go daemon (9 MB) that bridges any browser to your USB/serial cutter. Works in Firefox, Safari, and every other browser, no Chrome required.
New No-Fit Polygon (NFP) nesting — true polygon-based collision detection replaces bounding-box estimates, yielding tighter fits and less wasted film.
New Agent download page at /agent with auto platform detection (Windows, macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, Linux) and a full connection-method comparison.
New Network TCP connection — OmniPlot now proxies HPGL to ethernet plotters (HP JetDirect port 9100, Graphtec network models) server-side.
Improved Protocol-aware HPGL output: speed command emits VS in mm/s for Roland and cm/s for Graphtec/GPGL; force command uses FC (0–38) for HPGL/2 and FS for generic HPGL.
Improved Canvas now renders each pattern at its actual SVG bounding box — 1:1 scale with the roll, computed via getBBox() and cached per path.
Improved Inter-pattern spacing reduced from 0.1" to 0.05", and right-side roll buffer trimmed to 1" past the last piece.
Fix Overcut now walks the actual path geometry instead of jumping to the third vertex, giving accurate overcut distance on all pattern shapes.
New AI Nesting — 7-pass skyline optimizer: sort heuristics, random restarts, per-piece rotation, pair-rotation combinations, swap, insertion, and NFP-seeded placement. Waste % displayed live on canvas.
New Support center page with contact form and categorized FAQ routing.
New Error page with contextual messaging and navigation recovery.
Improved Admin dashboard, analytics, users, and settings panels fully redesigned for clarity and density.
Improved Jobs page redesigned with cleaner status indicators and job detail layout.
Improved Sitemap and robots.txt added for SEO.
