Smart Auto Tagging — Changelog

Version 2.0.39September 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 2.0.37September 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 2.0.35September 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 that placed no tag at all used to end with no sign whatsoever: nothing new in the view and no message, because the result line was thrown away by the caller. It now says which categories it looked for, in how many views, and what usually hides them - category switched off, crop region too tight, or the wrong levels ticked.
• 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 2.0.34September 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 2.0.33September 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 2.0.32September 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 2.0.31September 2, 2026

Changed

• Interim build from the same release round; superseded the same day by 2.0.32.

Version 2.0.30August 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 2.0.29August 30, 2026

Changed

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

Version 2.0.27August 30, 2026

Changed

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

Version 2.0.26August 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 2.0.25August 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 2.0.24August 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 2.0.23August 25, 2026

Changed

• Interim build from the same release round; superseded the same day by 2.0.24.

Version 2.0.22August 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 2.0.21August 23, 2026

Changed

• Interim build from the same release round; superseded the same day by 2.0.22.

Version 2.0.20August 19, 2026

Changed

• Published release combining the window fixes from 2.0.18 with the code review round from 2.0.19.

Version 2.0.19August 19, 2026

Fixed

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

Version 2.0.18August 19, 2026

Fixed

• The window is clamped to the screen (on 1280x720 the RUN button fell below the edge), labels shrink to fit, and duplicate tags are removed instead of being left invisible and never refreshed.

Version 2.0.17August 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.

Fixed

• Tags printed feet and millimetres: the same window read 200 in cm, 2000 in mm and 2' - 0" in imperial. The tag now shows a plain number in centimetres taken from the internal value.

Version 2.0.16August 18, 2026

Changed

• Interim build from the same release round; superseded the same day by 2.0.17.

Version 2.0.15August 18, 2026

New

• The installer ships the tag families - until now it shipped none and the plugin depended on whatever was already in the project.

Version 2.0.14July 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 2.0.13July 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 2.0.12July 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 2.0.11July 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 2.0.10July 16, 2026

Changed

• Bundled families are saved in Revit 2022 format so they load on every supported release.
• An outdated tag family already in the project is replaced instead of being reused.

Fixed

• Undo/Redo inside the plugin window was silently disabled because the shared module was missing; it 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.
• Tag dimensions fall back from type to instance to built-in parameter instead of coming out empty.

Version 2.0.9July 13, 2026

Fixed

• 'IronPython not found' on a clean machine - the plugin looked for a runtime folder that no longer exists instead of the one installed by ArchPlug Core.
• Setup failing with 0x80091007 on a clean machine - the bundle was built against a non-canonical copy of the shared runtime installer.

Version 2.0.8July 13, 2026

Changed

• Interim build from the same release round; superseded the same day by 2.0.9.

Version 2.0.7July 11, 2026

Fixed

• Tagging hot-fixes; they reached customers with 2.0.9 two days later.

Version 2.0.6July 1, 2026

Changed

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