We've been preparing for Google's upcoming obligation to use so-called service workers. This is a huge change for the extension, as a lot of it will likely need to be rewritten. In the worst-case scenario, it could even be the end of the extension, let's hope it isn't. We still have the desktop version if it isn't working out. 🙃

v3.1.0 06-12-2021 (Edge/Chrome), TBA (Windows desktop), 02-12-2021 (macOS desktop)

It is possible to respond 'No' after a 'Yes' again

Since version 3.0, after you responded with a 'Yes', you couldn't go back to 'No' while the request was still in progress. This has been resolved in this version, so you can avoid a roulette again.

Avatars

We've added generated avatars in this version. You'll automatically get an avatar assigned, but you can change it in the profile menu yourself. You now have the following choices; upload own image, create a new avatar, the first letter of your name or the classic silhouette.

Small changes

desktop version macOS: If you clicked 'Yes' in a notification, this was not registered in the app, we've fixed that in this version.

v3.0.1 & 3.0.2 22-11-2021

Dark Mode Dark mode is based on your device's settings. In the settings you can also choose to always turn it on or off.

In addition, the design has been further refined. Among other things, the bar at the top has been slightly reduced so that there is more space for the roulettes. In addition, the images are made rounded squares, this was already the case during a roulette.

We try to make the app faster, in some cases it can seem quite slow.

In addition, as always, some bugs have been fixed.

Update 24-11-2021
The Windows desktop version of 3.0 is now available.

v3.0.0.1 & 3.0.0.2 10-11-2021

Aiii, where are those GIFs?! There was a lot of feedback about the missing GIF images, they are back in this release! Somehow this feature has been overlooked, even during the months of testing.

In addition, some fixes for minor bugs that popped up after the release, such as some lingual errors and some changes for the upcoming desktop apps that will also be based on this version.

v3.0.0.0 08-11-2021

There it is! Office Roulette 3.0! 🎉 The first major update in a year and 4 months.

This update includes an entirely new design and a completely rewritten back-end server. (It was already running a few weeks before this update, but still…)

The old design dated back to September 2018, so it was time to change this design a bit.

What's new?
Essentially, not much has changed in this major update. The code has been completely rewritten, but the functions are about the same. The aforementioned server updates were especially the biggest job. This update also had to work with old versions of the app because the desktop versions are still waiting for some time.

The biggest things that have changed:
- The layout has been changed to a 3-column design, you can still choose the old layout if you like.
- This update gives more priority to profile pictures, they appear more in the overviews and the roulette requests. Here too, you can adjust this to taste towards the old design
- The whole has become a bit more appy, including all fonts are a bit larger.
- Many lingual errors, sometimes suddenly Dutch sentences. And many many other bug fixes.

If you have any feedback, both positive or negative, please let me know through the bug-icon in the header, it will help me develop a better version for you. In the end, I'm a one-man team, so there are no big test teams available.

The next update will probably come soon as strange bugs keep popping up after such a big update! 😉🤨

v2.4.2.1 17-06-2020
