Band Central for Web — Build 216
May 2026
Bug fix: when a band owner adds a member, the member's uid is now validated before being pushed into the band's users array. Without this, a missing uid could land a null slot in the array, the /bands query would never match the new member, and they'd be able to see themselves in the Band Users dialog but not open the band.

Band Small plan ($29.99/yr) now covers up to 6 members instead of 5. Useful for small ensembles with a regular sub or a sound engineer in addition to the four/five core members.

May 2026
Bug fix: the trash icon for removing band members from the Users dialog (the one opened from the band card) is now visible on bandcentral.com. The "remove" column was defined in the template but missing from the mat-table displayed-columns list, so it never rendered. Owners can now self-serve member removal again.

May 2026
Setlist break printing: breaks now show as a clear divider — 14pt non-bold "---- Break ----" label with solid 2px rules above and below — instead of blending into the song list when songs are set to a large font. Help center: new "Do I need wifi at the venue?" FAQ under Cloud Sync (iOS + Android).
