Release Date: April 19, 2026
Version: v1.8.4
Previous Version: v1.8.3
🎉 EnGage v1.8.4 is here! This release is packed with features that will transform how you interact with your drill at rehearsal. The headline additions include a brand-new Notes overlay system so you can view set notes directly in the app, performer colors from EnVision that bring your visualization to life, cross counts tracking so you always know what count you're crossing yardlines, and subset support in Dot Book for those complex formations.
We've also put significant love into the camera and viewing experience — the auto-panning behaviour has been dialled back to give you proper control. UI polish is throughout, with enhanced MainMenu styling and improved drill mode menus. Plus, we've squashed a handful of pesky bugs that were affecting marker sizing and halt display.
This is one of our bigger releases in recent memory with 46 files changed and nearly 8,000 lines of new code. Let's dive into the details!
