What more would you want to see here? [Product Updates • Glide](https://www.glideapps.com/product/updates)

Unfortunately, we don’t have capacity to log bug fixes at the moment, but I’m sure that will change as we expand.

I think @Darren_Murphy makes a good point. I think you guys are pretty good about showcasing new major features, even though most of us find them first. 😉 I agree with Darren, that it would be nice to see just a short notice about any bug fixes or some of the minor things that were put in with a production release. I think a lot of times bugs are fixed, but nobody realizes that and may still be trying to work around issues that may have been fixed for a long time. I realize that commenting and documenting changes, as a coder, is time consuming, but it’s nice to know what happened or be able to know what changes may be causing new issues. There’s been a handful of times that things have changed in my app due to a glide update, and I find out about it second hand from a user.

I know most companies don’t publish release notes anymore and it can be a lot of overhead. Heck, sometimes at my job, I’ll put in a code change without documenting it because it was quick, easy, and a very minor change. Looking at Google’s app store, most apps just post canned release notes that don’t tell you much of anything other than “squashed a few bugs”. I’m in-different either way, but sometimes it’s nice to know a brief summary of what was changed or fixed…no matter how minor. The fancy announcement can always come later.

Well, I have to admit that I’ve never seen that Product Updates page, which is embarrassing. Not sure how I’ve missed that. But… what Jeff said ⬆

Jack,

Given the extent of Glide and an intentionally small staff, you guys are try hard to let developers know what is happening.

There are, however, a couple of disciplines and automatic mechanisms you might use that would leave tracks about what has happened without being a large drain on time:

1. Every document (including Videos) should have the date they were last modified associated with them. Knowing this when looking through a wide variety of documents can help a reader understand the context of the documents. Knowing that a document was last worked on a week ago versus two years ago contains a lot of information for the reader.

2. Using your source control system to produce a log of information about changes including a one-line explanation of the change by the developer is another way to catalog evidence of changes.

@forsdick if you look at the bottom of the glide library documentation, there is a ‘last updated’ notice if that helps.

Your not alone. I saw the other one but not this one. The view that allows us to display info on a tablet or pc and be able to edit that view will be a game changer.

I’m so exciting about the new GE design! In the video I saw some sneak peeks that will be so easy and funnier to build… I’d love to see it asap 😋

Sorry - not getting round to this yet @McJagger. But I’ve brought it up. It’s still on my list.

The new date picker is a thing of beauty!

Will it be possible to disable dates in the past for certain scenarios? i.e. when making a booking?
