Changelog

October 2026

07.10.2026

• OBX import shows its progress: below the loading indicator, the article, a progress bar and "n / m" changes
• After a language change, catalog folders, reloaded articles, the "Back" entry and the "Other" property group appear in the new language
• Links with token= (including /login?token=…) no longer start at the manufacturer or catalog position of the previous session and no longer land on the login page on first load
• When switching articles, no product information from the previous article is left behind
• Property preview images are shown whole and centered instead of cropped
• Doors/drawers that cannot move in the selected version show no movement arrows; the arrows no longer enlarge the selection box, dimensions and zoom
• Dark mode: small articles no longer sit in a white disc after fitting the view
• The catalog keeps its scroll position when an article is opened; a folder is requested only once
• Smartphone: the information panel follows your finger while dragging
• YouTube videos in the product information are embedded again
• An error at startup no longer leads to a blank page; blocked browser storage (iFrame, private mode) no longer interferes with startup, login and logout
• Meta properties with a value range (e.g. table width) no longer cause an error in the property row
• Escape in a catalog folder closes the catalog
• Technical update (Angular 22): less computation on property changes, smaller download

30.09.2026

• OBX import from pCon.planner: With obxexport=true, an .obx file can be opened in the Download tab or dragged onto the app. The article appears in the configuration from the file; if there are several articles, you pick one. The message afterwards names any properties that were not applied
• OBX export for pCon.planner: The exported file now opens in pCon.planner as a real, configured article instead of a gray placeholder box. Requirement: the manufacturer data is installed in pCon; the Download tab points this out with the manufacturer name (load via File → Import)
• OBX import extended: Meta properties and sub-articles (e.g. the chairs of a conference table) are applied; the selection lists the sub-articles that come along. Catalog and breadcrumbs switch to the manufacturer of the imported article
• OBX texts without a literal "\n", double colons or indented lines
• With showmenubar=false, the 3D view and information panel fill the full height; previously an empty 45 px strip remained at the bottom (visible as a dark bar in dark mode)
• parentnode= (empty) starts the catalog at the top level without hiding the breadcrumbs
• Camera / zoom to article:
  • "Zoom to article" frames the article for the 3D view that is actually visible: wide articles are no longer cut off after the information panel opens (one camera move, after the panel)
  • Articles with child articles (e.g. a conference table with chairs) are fitted as a whole once all children have loaded
  • Articles whose parent has no geometry of its own are zoomed to again
  • A new camera move (zoom to article, double-click zoom) ends one still in progress instead of both pulling at the camera
  • When switching from a small to a much larger article, the camera no longer gets stuck at the zoom limits of the previous article
  • A 3D view that starts hidden (size 0) works normally afterwards; an article loaded in the meantime is still zoomed to
• Reloading again via SET_CONFIG keeps the camera position
• Property changes after a full rebuild once again choose the right update (color only or rebuild)
• Quality levels (quality ladder): Slow devices reduce rendering quality step by step instead of in one big jump. The learned level is stored per device; weak/integrated GPUs start directly at a suitable level
• Loading articles:
  • When loads follow each other quickly (catalog clicks, permalink, SET_ARTICLE), the most recently requested article is always shown; superseded loads are canceled
  • A failed article load shows an error message instead of leaving the loading indicator running forever
  • Articles with child articles only count as loaded once all children are built (zoom, selection and tabs see the whole article)
  • Reopened or cached articles are zoomed to again
  • The loading indicator also appears on startup via URL, permalink and SET_CONFIG
• Logo, contact details and manufacturer in the article header now always belong to the loaded article
• Bug fix: links with currentmanufacturer and parentnode show the logo and contact details of the correct manufacturer again (currentmanufacturer takes precedence)
• iFrame integration: a property change that is overtaken by a new article ends with PROPERTY_UPDATE_FAILED (context: 'ARTICLE_REPLACED'), see postMessage API
• 3D exports (OBJ, 3DS, Collada, glTF, GLB, STL, PLY) show the loading indicator until they finish and no longer hang on errors
• The transparency check of PNG/WebP textures runs in the background (web worker) and no longer blocks the page while loading
• Memory leaks with door/drawer interaction (GO types) fixed
• Performance improved on 4K monitors and integrated GPUs:
  • Pixel ratio on large canvas areas capped at native resolution (approx. −31 % pixels at 4K@150 %)
  • Shadow map is recalculated only when the model changes
  • The invisible ground plane is no longer shaded
  • Glass transmission at half resolution
  • No more redraws while idle
• Still images are refined step by step once the camera stops (anti-aliasing without supersampling)
• New quality control replaces the previous performance detection (GPU benchmarks, real GPU timing, takes the refresh rate into account, never lowers visible quality on 4K)
• Memory leaks fixed: rebuilding and deleting articles, selection boxes, cache and color/fabric changes now release GPU resources
• Contact shadows become sharper again while the camera moves and softer after it stops
• Bug fix: door/drawer dragging is rendered smoothly again; the latest queued configuration change is no longer lost
• Starting quality is determined for the size of the 3D view instead of the whole browser window: a view made smaller by side panels is no longer rated as too slow
• Bug fix: the preview image in the property row now updates after a value is selected

09.09.2026

• SET_CONFIG now actually takes effect (see postMessage API):
  • showPrice: true reloads the current article in its configuration so the price comes from the server
  • discount is shown in the Price tab: list price struck through, below it "Your price · −X %" (in all languages)

07.09.2026 – 08.09.2026

• Information panel redesigned:
  • Header area with a two-line title and origin path, labeled tabs
  • Shopping cart/wishlist actions as a fixed footer bar (hidden if not configured)
  • Property rows much more compact (approx. 12 instead of 8 rows at 800 px), required properties marked red with a counter, locked properties with a lock icon, keyboard operable
  • Depending on the property, segmented selection, toggle, preview image grid or list
  • Variant text as a clear table (property / code / value)
  • Contact and download area tidied up; call/email as buttons
  • Overview for articles with very many properties

• Price display (PriceTextView):
  • Localized number formatting (thousands/decimal separators per language)
  • pricecomponents without a currency are shown as a percentage (%)
• Performance notice for users:
  • With automatic quality reduction, a multilingual snackbar warning is shown
