Version 2.3.25latestSeptember 13, 2026

Fixed

Background updates can now replace the shared modules in C:\ProgramData\ArchPlug\Shared. The folder was installed read-only for the user, so a package that touched those files was rejected as a whole and nothing was updated. The folder now gets write permission during installation, the same way the families folder already did. This release has to be installed once for the permission to be applied; background updates work on their own afterwards.

Version 2.3.24September 13, 2026

Fixed

Ribbon icon is back to the standard ArchPlug green. The previous release carried an internal test build in which the icon had been recoloured; only the icon was affected, no command or setting behaved differently.

Version 2.3.22September 13, 2026

New

Anonymous usage counters: which command was run and how often, so development follows what is actually used. No e-mail, file names, model or project data is sent. Switch it off with "send_usage": false in C:\ProgramData\ArchPlug\settings.json.

Fixed

The background updater no longer opens an empty black PowerShell window. On Windows 11 the default terminal ignored the hidden-window flag, so the window stayed on screen for as long as Revit was open (ArchPlug Settings 1.29.9).

Version 2.3.20September 6, 2026

New

Full Python traceback in the error report - file, line and call stack of the script itself, instead of the bare .NET stack that said nothing about where the script broke.
Local log file %APPDATA%\ArchPlug\logs\<plugin>.log (rotated at 512 KB, one previous file kept, Windows user name removed). It can be sent by e-mail when there is no internet connection.

Changed

The error dialog says in one sentence what happened and what to do; the traceback sits behind 'Show details', with the log path and the support address in the footer.
The ArchPlug settings window carries the ArchPlug icon in its own title bar. A window with no icon of its own borrows the one from the running program, so until now the title bar showed the Revit logo.
Shared ArchPlug Core runtime cleaned up to 1.0.6: 324 unused standard library files dropped, and the download is about 40% smaller. Nothing the plugin actually imports was touched, and a new gate checks the runtime before every Core release.

Fixed

shutil, tempfile and zipfile could not be imported from the shared runtime at all: Lib\shutil.py had been syntactically broken in every ArchPlug Core since the first one, so any script touching a temporary file or a zip archive failed for no visible reason.
A run in which not a single beam was created, updated or rebuilt looked exactly like a clean run. It now says how many openings were in scope and what to check: that they sit in a wall, that they have a level, and that the chosen beam type fits.
Clicking the ribbon button with no project open no longer produces an error dialog - the plugin says 'Open a project first.'
Licence check hardened: it fails closed when it cannot verify, a tampered stamp no longer earns extra grace days, the newest trace wins when the two stamps disagree, and an expired offline token is reported as 'offline too long' instead of 'cannot verify'.

Removed

Process-wide TLS protocol override that every other Revit add-in inherited.
Unused ensurepip package from the shared runtime, together with the pip and setuptools archives bundled inside it. They were never opened by anything we ship.

Version 2.3.19September 5, 2026

New

The installer grants write permission on the shared ArchPlug Families folder, without which a silent update could never replace a family file.

Fixed

Installer failing with 0x80091007 (shared runtime hash mismatch). The setup carried the checksum of one version of the shared ArchPlug Core runtime while downloading another, so installation stopped on every clean machine.

Version 2.3.18September 5, 2026

New

The installer grants write permission on the shared ArchPlug Families folder, without which a silent update could never replace a family file.

Changed

Ribbon icon colour test build, delivered to the test account only and never published.

Version 2.3.17September 2, 2026

Changed

First release delivered by the silent updater, which from this build applies an update while Revit is running and no longer needs Revit to be started at all. Shipped to testing only.

Version 2.3.16September 2, 2026

Changed

Interim build from the same release round; superseded the same day by 2.3.17.

Version 2.3.15August 30, 2026

Changed

A separate, plain message for every licence state - no account entered, unknown account, account without this plugin, expired trial (with the purchase options), N days without a connection, active on another computer. Four of those states used to end up as the same sentence, 'Connect this computer to the internet'.
Released 2026-09-01. The licence button is 'Refresh'; prices are never written into the DLL.

Fixed

With no e-mail entered the licence check was never sent at all, so the cache stayed 'unknown' and the plugin dropped into the 10-day offline window and then locked.

Version 2.3.14August 30, 2026

Changed

Build from a release pass that did not finish; never published.

Version 2.3.12August 30, 2026

Changed

Build from a release pass that did not finish; never published.

Version 2.3.11August 25, 2026

Changed

Only the plugins the account actually owns run; a trial of one plugin no longer unlocks the rest, and an unknown account is told so instead of being blamed on the internet connection.

Version 2.3.10August 25, 2026

New

One account, one computer at a time: if the account is in use elsewhere the plugin says so instead of failing silently. Closing Revit releases the seat.

Version 2.3.9August 25, 2026

Changed

The licence follows the account (e-mail), not the computer. The server signs the answer, so a hand-written cache file no longer unlocks anything, and the plugin keeps working for 10 days without a connection.

Version 2.3.8August 25, 2026

Changed

Interim build from the same release round; superseded the same day by 2.3.9.

Version 2.3.7August 23, 2026

Fixed

The licence check really blocks unlicensed use. For five months every state except 'expired' was let through, and the first run granted 14 free days even with no account entered; the grace period is now zero.

Version 2.3.6August 23, 2026

Changed

Interim build from the same release round; superseded the same day by 2.3.7.

Version 2.3.5August 19, 2026

Fixed

The conversion of the beam families to Revit 2022 format had flattened the I-profile into a box and dropped all materials, so customers on Revit 2022-2025 got boxes. The families were rebuilt.

Version 2.3.4August 19, 2026

Fixed

Code review round: 67 of 71 findings fixed, verified on Revit 2022, 2025 and 2027.

Version 2.3.3August 18, 2026

New

The shared error-reporting module is installed with the plugin, so failures inside the script are reported too, not only failures of the plugin itself.

Version 2.3.2August 18, 2026

Fixed

Window text at high DPI, unit conversion, and beam families that were not in Revit 2022 format.

Version 2.3.1August 18, 2026

Changed

Interim build from the same release round; superseded the same day by 2.3.2.

Version 2.3.0August 12, 2026

New

Beam offset measured from the wall centre line, per wall type (positive = towards the outside).
Scope selector: whole building, one level, or the current selection.
Three ArchPlug beam families that the plugin loads on its own.

Version 2.2.8July 27, 2026

Changed

On 2026-08-02 this installer was repacked with a signed ArchPlug Settings component, which removed Revit's 'Unknown Publisher' warning. The version number was not raised, so an existing installation does not see it as an update.

Fixed

The plugin never appeared in Revit 2027: the manifest went to the 64-bit add-ins folder and the package is now built as x64, without which Windows Installer redirected it to Program Files (x86).

Version 2.2.7July 17, 2026

Changed

Error reporting made GDPR-safe: no e-mail address is sent, the Windows user name is removed from file paths, and the first report asks for consent (Send this report / Always send / Never).

Version 2.2.6July 17, 2026

New

Automatic error reporting - when the plugin fails, the error is reported to archplug.com so it can be fixed without waiting for a bug report.

Version 2.2.5July 17, 2026

Changed

The script is embedded in the DLL as an AES-256 encrypted resource; the installer no longer ships plain-text Python.

Version 2.2.4July 16, 2026

Changed

Bundled families are saved in Revit 2022 format so they load on every supported release.

Fixed

Plugin crashed at start with 'No module named archplug_undo' - the shared module is now installed with ArchPlug Core.
Revit 2022 compatibility round: element name and Id handling, JSON helper, and text that did not fit the window at high DPI.
Wrong wall name on the generated beams.

Version 2.2.3July 1, 2026

Changed

Installer and plugin DLL are digitally signed (publisher: ArchPlug DOO). No functional changes.
