7CG v2.0.0-beta.19 is out today. If you're already on a 2.x beta, the auto-updater should pull it the next time you launch the app.

This is the release that brings all the 2026 work together: modular workspace, Companion overhaul, rundown video export, Bible passage preview, and a long tail of polish. It's also the first build going out through the new automated release pipeline, so future betas should land faster.

What's in it​

The big-ticket features have been documented separately in What's New in 7CG: 2026 Edition, so this post is intentionally short. The headline items:

  • Customizable workspace: drag, resize, hide, and save layout presets from View → Customize Layout
  • Companion 2.0: PIN pairing, mDNS auto-discovery, per-item Execute/Stop actions, parameterized solid-color actions
  • Rundown video export: export an entire rundown to a video file with a Stop button to cancel mid-export
  • Undo / Redo in the rundown: Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z (Cmd on Mac)
  • Bible passage preview: see verse text inline as you pick a passage
  • Layer occupancy view: spot CasparCG layer conflicts before they hit air
  • In-app toast notifications with proper localization (English, Portuguese, Spanish)

Getting it​

If you're already on a 7CG 2.x beta, the auto-updater will pull beta.19 the next time you launch the app. Each update is a complete installer for your platform (Windows .exe, macOS .dmg, or Linux .AppImage / .deb / .snap), so there's nothing else to do once it lands. New to 7CG? Download a first install from 7cg.io.

Known limitations​

This is still a beta. A few things to keep in mind:

  • macOS builds are not notarized in this release. You'll need to right-click the app and choose Open the first time to bypass Gatekeeper.
  • Windows builds are not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen will warn on first launch. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Reporting bugs​

If something breaks, post in the 7CG WhatsApp group with your OS, the version string from Help → About, and the steps to reproduce. The renderer log lives at:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\7cg\logs\
  • macOS: ~/Library/Logs/7cg/
  • Linux: ~/.config/7cg/logs/

Attaching the most recent log file will speed up triage.

Thanks for testing. This release has been a long time coming, and the next one will be much shorter.
