What's new

What changed in each released version of BC Buddy.

1.0.12 — 2026-10-11

Added

  • Copy values: rest the mouse on a value in a list or a FactBox, or on a field that is a link on a card (Balance (LCY)), and a small copy icon appears. Click it to copy the value exactly as Business Central shows it — also a No. or an amount that is a link, which you could not select before. Works on values you cannot edit. On by default; it is the first switch under Web client in the options.
  • Week numbers in the date picker: the calendar that opens from a date field shows the week number in front of each week. They are Business Central's own week numbers, which it keeps hidden until you press Shift+Home in the calendar; BC Buddy turns them on for you. Press Shift+Home to turn them off again, and Business Central remembers it. On by default; switch it off under Web client in the options.
  • Hide the notifications icon: the bell at the top right of Business Central, which opens Notifications, is hidden. On by default; switch it off under Web client in the options to get the bell back.
  • Share your Web client settings: Export now also saves the switches and sliders under Web client, so a team can hand out a set of defaults. Importing such a file applies them. Through a shared configuration they are defaults: each is applied on the first sync, and after that only when the team changes it in the file, so a colleague who switches something off keeps it off.
  • BC Buddy in the gear menu: in Business Central online, the gear icon's Settings pane now has a BC Buddy section with a Settings link that opens the options. It is there whenever BC Buddy is installed, also while it is switched off.
  • French support
  • Pin the action bar: a page opens with the row of actions under its tabs pinned, instead of the way Business Central picks. Unpin it on a page and that page stays unpinned. On by default; switch it off under Web client in the options.

Fixed

  • Maximize pages no longer overrules you. A page you switched back to narrow or to tiles now stays that way the next time you open it, instead of being widened again.

  • Layouts in a shared configuration now reach your colleagues. Until now a shared rule always looked like the plain default layout, whatever layout it had in the file.

  • The text in a banner or corner ribbon could show up as a tiny dash while Size was on automatic. It now fits itself to the banner again.

1.0.11 — 2026-10-09

Added

  • Turn off animations: pages, dialogs, FastTabs and panes in Business Central appear at once instead of sliding or fading in. Progress indicators keep moving. On by default; switch it off under Web client in the options.

1.0.10 — 2026-10-06

Added

  • Highlight the current line — in editable lists, such as the lines of a sales order or a journal, the line you are on gets a light tint across its full width. Business Central itself only shows a small arrow at the far left. Read-only lists keep their own highlight. On by default; switch it off under Web client.

Changed

  • The options take less reading. Web client and Import / export are short lists: each setting has its name with its switch or button on the right. Hover a setting to see what it does; a link under Web client leads to the documentation.
  • Under Environments, your rules now come first and layouts second.
  • A layout lists its parts — ribbon, frame, banner, tab title and favicon — as rows: its name, its settings and a switch on the right. Hover the name to see what it does; a part that is off shows only its name and switch. The tokens you can use in the texts ({name}, {environment}, {company}, {title}) are on one line at the bottom, instead of behind a question mark beside every text field. The banner's Opacity is a slider of five steps, like the frame's thickness.
  • A rule's on/off switch no longer has the word On beside it, and the popup's Extension active is now the same switch as in the options.
  • Shared configuration fits on one line: the URL with Synchronise beside it.

1.0.9 — 2026-10-06

Added

  • Dropdown size — the list that opens under a field (Country/Region Code, the item number on a sales line, …) gets more room: as wide as its columns need, up to a maximum you set with a slider, and optionally taller. On by default with wider lists and BC's usual height; slide both to BC standard to turn it off.

Changed

  • The Maximize section of the options is now called Web client. It holds both Maximize pages and the new Dropdown size.

Fixed

  • Ribbon colour is now preserved when the Dark Reader browser extension is active.
  • Turning BC Buddy off with Extension active now stops Maximize pages too. It no longer switches pages to wide layout and list view while the extension is off.
  • Maximize pages works again in current Business Central versions. Tile pages switch to list view again, and a page you open from inside BC is widened too, not just the first page you opened. That includes a page that opens as a window over another one, for example from Search, and the list behind Select from full list on a field, which now opens maximized.

1.0.8 — 2026-09-14

Maintenance release - nothing that changes what you see.

1.0.7 — 2026-09-12

Added

  • Maximize — new option (on by default) that automatically expands every Business Central page to wide layout and switches tile pages to list view. Works on SaaS (*.dynamics.com) and on-premises environments, including servers where the URL contains /BC in the path or the hostname starts with bc (e.g. bc, bcdev, bcprod).

1.0.4 — 2026-08-24

Added

  • BC Buddy is published under the MIT licence: use it at work, change it and pass it on.

1.0.3 — 2026-08-24

Added

  • The website has a What's new page, so you can see what changed in a version without reading the commit log.

1.0.2 — 2026-08-24

Added

  • A documentation website at https://fvet.github.io/bcbuddy/: getting started, how matching works, rules and layouts, sharing with a team, troubleshooting and the privacy policy. It is republished with every release, so it describes the version you can actually install.

1.0.1 — 2026-08-24

First public release.

  • A colour per environment. Rules match on environment, company or customer, for Business Central online and on-premises alike.
  • Five ways to mark a tab. The bar at the top of the client, a frame around the window, a banner or corner ribbon, the tab title and the tab icon. Turn on as many as you find useful.
  • Shared settings. Point a team at one configuration file and everyone gets the same markings, later changes included.
  • Nothing leaves your machine. No server, no analytics, no tracking.
