2021

October

September

  • Mobile App update
    • Added support for jQuery functions in character sheets - Sept. 7th

August

  • Release Note for August 17, 2021(Forum)
    • Character Sheets - Add pseudo-variable to allow Sheet Authors to scope roll templates.
    • Character Sheets - Added Environment Variables for Sheet Authors to scope sheetworkers.

July

June

  • Now on Dev Server: Image Attributes(Forum) - 26th
    • making it possible to dynamically change images shown on the sheet from custom urls, changing background-images, and ability to show character avatar & tokens directly on the sheet.

April

  • fixed issues with @import Release Note for April 27, 2021(Forum)
    • if a @import exists, it seems it might result in roll20 ignoring the first instance of the next css class in the file, workaround is to add an empty, "sacrificial" version of the class first that will be eaten up, and the one after will work normally
  • Most initial bugs with Character Sheet Enhancement have be fixed and the framework is now stable, and better than LCS.

March

Character Sheet Enhancement sheet update was fully released, expanding the html & css things that can be done with character sheets. This includes more options to make char sheets look good on the Roll20 Mobile app.
