Changelog

Track the evolution of Wing Tools. This page documents all notable changes, new features, and improvements.

Version 2.7

Latest
Highlights
  • Live Mixer - Choose your connection protocol: read a live WING over the new Native (TCP) link or classic OSC
  • Native (TCP) runs alongside other WING software, so you can read your desk in Wing Tools while WING-Edit or Mixing Station stays connected
New Features
  • Live Mixer - A connection-protocol choice in the Connect to Mixer dialog lets you pick OSC or Native (TCP); your choice is remembered between sessions
  • Live Mixer - OSC is the default (works with every WING); Native (TCP) is opt-in and lets multiple apps talk to the console at once (currently supports WING Compact)
  • Live Mixer - New Live Mixer Connection help page explaining pairing, the protocol choice, and read-only vs write mode
Improvements
  • Live Mixer - No automatic fallback between protocols: if the chosen protocol can't reach the console you get a clear error and stay on your choice, so connection behavior stays predictable

Version 2.6

Highlights
  • Snapshot Linter - One-click fix suggestions: stack the corrections you want and apply them all at once
  • Snapshot Linter - File mode: download a fixed copy of your snapshot with every queued fix applied (your original is never changed)
  • Snapshot Linter - Live mode: apply queued fixes straight to a connected WING, with a mandatory confirm-and-verify safety step
New Features
  • Linter - Many issues now offer one-click fixes (clear or rename names, toggle phantom power, repair sends and routing, mute/unmute DCAs, disable bypassed inserts, fix talkback tags, and more)
  • Linter - Fix stack panel collects your chosen fixes; on phones it opens from a Fixes button with a live count badge
  • Linter - File mode: a Download fixed snapshot button builds a corrected .snap with all queued fixes, leaving your uploaded file untouched
  • Linter - Live mode: an Apply to console button shows every change as old value → new value, writes to the desk only after you confirm, then reads the values back to verify them and reports any mismatch
  • Linter - Auto-fix badge on the Rule Reference page marks every rule that can offer a fix
Improvements
  • Linter - Alternative fixes for one issue act like radio buttons: choosing one deselects the conflicting option
  • Linter - Conflicting fixes across different issues (touching the same name or send) are blocked with a hint, so you can't queue contradictory changes
  • Linter - Contextual help link on the fix stack jumps straight to the fix-suggestions documentation

Version 2.5

Highlights
  • WingGPT Beta - Chat with your snapshot and propose edits in plain English (Premium during beta, Pro at GA)
  • WingGPT - 8 specialist knowledge blocks make the AI context-aware per topic (naming, sends, buses, DCAs, colors, virtual soundcheck, band-member changes, and routing)
  • WingGPT - Partial apply: select exactly which proposed changes to keep, add a follow-up comment, and continue the conversation on the result
  • WingGPT - Context-sensitive agent activation: each expert block can be set to Off, Auto (classifier decides), or Always — visible as pills on every reply
New Features
  • Linter - New monitor-routing checks: post-fader monitor/IEM sends on a FOH desk (where the musician's level would follow the FOH fader), inconsistent pre/post discipline across IEM mixes on a monitor desk, and monitor buses that receive channel sends but reach no physical output
  • WingGPT - Ask questions about a snapshot in natural language and get answers grounded in its actual state
  • WingGPT - Propose channel, bus, send, DCA, tag, HPF, compressor-preset and direct-patch changes from a chat prompt
  • WingGPT - Diff preview before applying — every proposed change is shown row-by-row, your original file is never modified
  • WingGPT - Per-channel diff cards: changes are grouped by affected channel/bus/main with the current state shown alongside the proposed changes, so cascading side effects are visible before you click Apply
  • WingGPT - Stereo pair awareness: stereo-sourced channels show a partner badge in the diff preview; the chat understands that a single stereo input feeds the channel internally and leaves the adjacent strip free
  • WingGPT - Composite "setup performer" / "tear down performer" actions roll a typical singer/musician change into one ask
  • WingGPT - Inline ⓘ pills attach reference data (input usage, DCA members, IEM bus map) right where it's relevant in the reply
  • WingGPT - Applied-edits sidebar lists every change applied during the session with cross-references to the message that proposed it
  • WingGPT - Markdown formatting in chat responses and info pills (bold, italics, lists, inline code)
  • WingGPT - Report-issue button in the chat header: opens a pre-filled ticket with the current snapshot, recent turns, and applied edits attached for triage
  • WingGPT - 7 new expert-context blocks injected automatically when relevant: Naming & Labels, Send Levels, Bus & Monitor Conventions, DCA & Tags, Color & Icon, Virtual Soundcheck, and Band Member Change
  • WingGPT - Band-member-change agent uses an ask-first planning flow: the AI proposes a full personnel swap plan before making any edits, so you stay in control of cascading changes
  • WingGPT - Per-change checkboxes on every diff proposal: uncheck individual changes you don't want before applying, with full composite-action expansion so each primitive edit is individually selectable
  • WingGPT - Comment field on the apply dialog: add a note alongside your partial selection and the comment is automatically threaded into the next chat turn, keeping the conversation in context
  • WingGPT - Activated-agent pills appear on every assistant reply, showing which expert knowledge blocks were consulted for that response
  • WingGPT - Bus, DCA, Main, and Matrix names now appear in diff rows alongside channel numbers, so you can read a proposed change without opening the snapshot
  • WingGPT - Clink (cross-linked channel) flag surfaced in the routing projection used by the AI, improving accuracy of cross-link-aware recommendations
Improvements
  • Linter - Leaner default checks: high-volume advisory rules are now deferred to the Strict profile, so a default lint run surfaces real problems first. The FOH and Monitor Engineer profiles each enable the monitor pre/post check appropriate to that role
  • WingGPT - Message numbering with click-flash highlight makes it easy to cross-reference proposed changes
  • WingGPT - Applied-edits sidebar replaces the obtrusive post-apply alert and keeps history visible while you work
  • WingGPT - Tear-down operations no longer sweep every active send by default — the chat now lists the buses it will touch explicitly, so a single edit can no longer silently mute unrelated routing
  • WingGPT - After applying a partial selection the conversation continues on the updated snapshot, so follow-up questions reflect the actual current state
  • WingGPT - Stereo badge in diff rows simplified to 'Stereo' only — the adjacent partner channel number no longer appears, reducing visual noise
  • WingGPT - Repeated send entries de-duplicated in the baseline summary passed to the AI, preventing inflated context and confusing answers
  • WingGPT - Admin test-ask panel now uses the real agent-context assembly path for full parity with the production chat experience
Bug Fixes
  • WingGPT - DCA range corrected to 1-16 (the WING has 16 DCA groups, not 8)
  • WingGPT - Inline context pills render correctly when the model emits footnote-style references in its reply (now handles all three observed footnote shapes, including footnotes without a colon delimiter)
  • WingGPT - DCA rename operations now correctly cover groups 9-16 (previously capped at 8)
  • WingGPT - Diff card selection and comment field now reset cleanly when a new proposal arrives
