Changelog
What changed in each release. To update, run the newer installer from the download page; your data is kept. Releases before 0.13.0 came out under a working name and are not listed.
0.14.0 — 2026-10-10
- A one-file Windows installer. FlowcallSetup.exe installs Flowcall like any other Windows program: Welcome, License Agreement, folder, desktop icon, Install, and "Open Flowcall now". Python and every component are inside, so there is nothing else to install, no internet needed during setup, and no administrator rights. Running a newer installer updates Flowcall and keeps all your data; uninstalling (Windows Settings → Apps) asks before deleting data. The zip and run.bat still work for IT teams.
- Daily backups. Settings → Admin → Backups: switch on a daily backup to a folder of your choice (OneDrive is suggested, so a dead disk doesn't take the backups with it), keep the last 7 to 60, or click Back up now. The database is copied safely while Flowcall runs. Saved passwords stay out of backups unless you choose to include them. To restore, close Flowcall and run restore-backup.bat; your current data is moved aside, never deleted.
- Download diagnostics. Settings → Admin → Help from support gives you a file to email to support: versions, settings with every password, key and token blanked out, the end of the log and recent failures. It never contains your data or passwords.
- Manage billing. Paid plans bought online now have a Manage billing button under Settings → Plan (change card, invoices, cancel), as the policies describe.
- The Privacy Policy names Cloudflare as the website's host (agreements version 2026-10-10; owners are asked once to accept the update).
- A website. Flowcall now has a website: home, product tour, features, every example, the guides, download (with plain install steps, including what to do when Windows says "Windows protected your PC"), pricing, the agreements and this changelog. It sets no cookies and loads nothing from other sites. Buying still goes through the licence server; its old pricing and legal pages forward to the website once it is live.
0.13.0 — 2026-10-09
- Cadence is now Flowcall. "Cadence" is also the name of Uber's open-source workflow platform and of a large software company, so the product has a name of its own: Flowcall ("run the flow, make the call"). The new name appears everywhere you see it: the window, the desktop icon, emails, the website, the guides and videos. Your pipelines, history, settings and licence are untouched. Scripts can use
FLOWCALL_WORKDIR,FLOWCALL_LIBRARYand so on, and the oldCADENCE_*names keep working. - Customer agreements. Flowcall now ships a Customer License Agreement, Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (in
legal/, at/legal/...and on the website). The person who creates the first account accepts them with a checkbox, and who accepted, when and which version is recorded. When the agreements change, the owner is asked once to accept the new version. Subscribing on the website needs the same tick, and the agreed version is kept with the payment. These are drafts for a lawyer's review. - New examples. Every example, sample file, course and training video now uses a subscription-software company: signups and activation, payments, usage events, renewal review, budget allocation, churn risk, support staffing, a billing inbox and integration health. All 13 videos were re-recorded.
- Sorting works everywhere. Click any column header in a table (in Explore and on a dashboard) to sort it smallest first, then largest first, then back to file order. The sort covers every row in the file or warehouse table, not just the 200 shown, and a table saved with a sort keeps it.
- A to Z is now what people expect: case doesn't matter and numbers sort by value ("Plan 2" before "Plan 10"). There is now a Z to A. Charts over dates can show oldest or newest first, and the chosen order always takes effect (before, some orders were silently ignored).
- New Dates by choice (automatic, day, week, month or year) for charts over dates.
- The chart builder shows only the settings that change the chart in front of you. A table offers "Sort by" (every column, both ways), a number tile offers "Good news is", a date axis offers "Dates by", a row count hides the column picker it doesn't use, and a scatter hides the measure it ignores.
- Arrange, redesigned. Press Arrange, then drag a tile by its ⠿ handle (a line shows where it will land) or use ◀ ▶. Set width (¼, ⅓, ½, ⅔, Full) and height (S, M, L, XL) with buttons that show the current size. Changes save as you go. Outside Arrange, tiles can no longer be moved by accident.
- Fixed (wrong numbers): averages counted blank and "n/a" cells as zeros, so a column with gaps averaged too low and disagreed with the same chart from a warehouse. Blanks are now left out, as in SQL. "Count distinct" no longer counts a blank as a value, and a total of nothing is 0 in warehouses as it is in files.
- Fixed: a number column with a stray "n/a" was treated as text, so it sorted alphabetically (100 before 9).
- Fixed: on a chart split into series, rows with no value in the split column formed a series wrongly called "sum of revenue". It is now called "(blank)".
- IP and licences. Flowcall now has its own licence (LICENSE: proprietary, all rights reserved) and a © line in Settings → Plan. THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md lists every open-source component with its licence. The bundled editor and chart code now ships the full MIT licence text each package requires (only the copyright lines were included before, and one bundled package was missing). IP_PROVENANCE.md (vendor copy only) records how Cadence was made, what was checked and what to take to a lawyer.
- The IBM Plex fonts now ship with Flowcall under their Open Font License instead of loading from Google on every page: no visitor data goes to Google, and Flowcall works fully offline.
- QA: a dashboard suite builds six dashboards that use every chart, measure, order, filter and arrange control, checks every number against a hand count, and uses each one in a real browser. The property tests now also compare file and warehouse charts with blanks, averages and distinct counts. A licence-hygiene test runs on every release.
