What's New
VERSION 83
Gurbani Kirtan App — Release History
v102
August 2026
Search results, better ordered
Videos now appear right after Shabads, and both Daily Hazris (auto-recorded) and the older Hazri archive now sort with the most recent recording on top — so a search now surfaces the latest Kirtan first.
v101
August 2026
Faster Search, behind the scenes
Search now loads its library in the background from a single prepared file instead of gathering it from every Ragi, Playlist, and recording individually — quicker, and lighter on data as our collection keeps growing. No visible change to how Search looks or works.
v100
August 2026
Faster loading, behind the scenes
Ragi Library, Playlist Library, and the Daily archive now load with far fewer network requests — shabad counts arrive with the list instead of a separate call per Ragi/Playlist, and the Daily archive list loads instantly with details fetched only when you open a date. No visible change, just a lighter, quicker app as our Sangat and Ragi/Shabad collection keeps growing.
v99
August 2026
Drag the player timebar to any moment
The seek bar on Hazri and Shabad playback now supports drag-to-scrub with a bigger touch target — no more repeated tapping. For long Hazri recordings, tap the current time to jump straight to an exact hour/minute/second. Times over an hour now display as h:mm:ss.
v98
August 2026
Bold text now renders properly + more polish
Fixed a font-loading gap where bold (700 weight) text across the app — Punjabi translations, Ragi/Playlist shabad titles and tags — wasn't actually rendering bold. Also: bigger writer/Ang header on Shabad Arth, gold-coloured Live Kirtan Channels intro text for readability.
v97
August 2026
Shabad Arth — bigger text, cleaner cards
Gurmukhi and English/Punjabi translation text is larger on each Shabad Arth card. Removed the English transliteration line to keep the cards focused.
v96
August 2026
Shabad Arth readability
Bigger text for Gurmukhi, transliteration, and English/Punjabi translations on the Shabad Arth page. The "Gurbani meanings via GurbaniNow" attribution line is now gold-coloured so it's easy to read against the dark background.
v95
August 2026
More readability fixes across the app
Bigger text on the home calendar card, video card, Daily Auto Hazri list, Live Kirtan Channels, and the Nanakshahi Calendar month/detail view. Also fixed the Live Kirtan Channel name wrapping awkwardly onto multiple lines by moving the action buttons into a compact column.
v94
August 2026
Recently Added — bigger text, fixed wrapping
Larger title and item text in the Recently Added banner, and fixed the preview text wrapping too early and leaving empty space on the right.
v93
August 2026
Bigger, bolder text for readability
Home page card titles and descriptions are larger and easier to read. The Today/Gurpurb calendar notification banner text is now significantly bigger and bold throughout.
v92
August 2026
Card layout fix — everywhere
Extended v91's card fix to Daily Hazris (Archive), Favourites, Search results, Videos, and Local recordings — action buttons now sit on their own row below the name, instead of squeezing it onto several lines.
v91
August 2026
Auto Daily Hazri — card layout fix
Fixed the Ragi name wrapping onto several lines in Auto Daily Hazri cards. Action buttons now sit on their own row below, so the name has full width again.
v90
August 2026
Shabad Arth — polish pass
Matched-line highlight is now a flat, shadow-free light lemon tone for better readability. Fixed a navigation snag where going back from a Shabad opened via the Ragi Library meaning icon could land on a frozen search screen.
v89
August 2026
Shabad Arth in Ragi Library — smart jump
The meaning icon on Ragi Library shabad cards now jumps straight to the right line when a search key has been set for that shabad in Admin, instead of always opening a blank search.
v88
August 2026
Shabad Arth — speed & cache fixes
Gurbani search now times out gracefully instead of hanging, and stale cached results from before recent fixes have been cleared. The matched-line highlight is also a lighter, easier-on-the-eyes shade of gold.
v87
August 2026
Shabad Arth — Pass 2
When you open a Shabad found through search, the exact matched line is now highlighted in gold. The meaning icon is also now on the main Daily Hazri card and Ragi Library shabad cards (auto-jump-to-exact-Shabad from the Ragi Library is still being fine-tuned).
v86
August 2026
Shabad Arth improvements
Meaning search is now also reachable from Daily Hazri cards and Live Kirtan Channel cards, results are sorted (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, then Vaaran Bhai Gurdas Ji, then Sri Dasam Granth, by Ang), and the Punjabi teeka is now bolder and easier to tell apart from the English translation.
v85
August 2026
Shabad Arth — meaning search
While listening to any Hazri, tap the new book icon in the player to look up a Shabad's meaning — Gurmukhi, transliteration, and English/Punjabi translation, right inside the app.
v84
July 2026
Live Kirtan Channels — auto-reconnect
If a live stream drops due to a brief network or server hiccup, the app now automatically tries to reconnect instead of going silent. A quiet "Reconnecting…" message shows while it retries.
v83
July 2026
Fixed — Search result cards for Daily Hazris
Daily Hazri results in Search now show the correct Ragi photo, time range and name, matching the Daily Hazris screen.
Fixed — What's New version badge
The header badge was stuck at "VERSION 75". It now updates automatically every release.
v82
July 2026
Fixed — Daily Hazri favourites not showing
Favouriting a Daily Hazri now correctly appears under Favourites → Hazris.
v81
July 2026
Live Kirtan Channels — now data-driven
Channels are now loaded from the server instead of being fixed in the app, laying the groundwork for managing channels from Admin.
v80
July 2026
Live Kirtan Channels — wording update
Updated the description to "Live streams from Gurudwara Sahib Worldwide" ahead of more channels being added.
v79
July 2026
Live Kirtan Channels — fixed playback
Corrected the live stream connection so channels play the actual Kirtan audio instead of a server status page.
v78
July 2026
New — Live Kirtan Channels
Listen live from Sri Harmandir Sahib Ji, Amritsar. Two live channels added to start, with more to come. Live playback automatically pauses if a recorded Hazri or Shabad is played, and vice versa.
v77
July 2026
Daily Hazris — more reliable Ragi photo matching
Ragi photo and name for auto-recorded Hazris are now resolved by the server against the Ragi Library, so matching is more reliable and no longer depends on exact letter-casing. Also now applied when Hazri recordings appear in Search.
v76
June 2026
Recently Added — Hazri recordings now navigate correctly
Tapping a manually-uploaded Hazri recording in the Recently Added section now opens the correct date in Daily Hazris. Previously, clicking such entries returned to the home screen instead of navigating to the recording.
v75
June 2026
Daily Hazris — Ragi photo on auto-recorded cards
Auto-recorded Hazri cards now display the Ragi's photo when a Ragi Key is linked. If no photo is available or the Ragi Key is not yet set, a teal musical note placeholder is shown instead.
v74
June 2026
Calendar — Kirtan link uses auto-recordings
The "Listen to Kirtan for this date" button on the Nanakshahi Calendar now links to the Daily Hazris (auto-recordings) screen instead of the manual archive. Tapping it opens the correct date directly.
v73
June 2026
Daily Hazris renamed — Archive card moved to end
The auto-recorded "Daily Hazris" card now uses a teal musical note icon. The manually-uploaded section is renamed "Daily Hazris (Archive)" and moved to the bottom of the home screen.
Search includes auto-recorded Hazris
Search now covers auto-recorded Hazri slots — matching on slot label, Ragi name, Ragi key, and notes.
Recently Added banner — improved visibility
The home screen banner now has a lighter slate-blue background for better contrast, and the preview text wraps to two lines so longer names are fully visible.
v72
June 2026
Daily Hazris — auto-recorded from Sri Harmandir Sahib Ji
A new "Daily Hazris" section on the home screen shows completed auto-recordings captured from the live stream. Browse by the last 7 days with quick-tap buttons, or pick any past date. Each slot shows the Hazri name, time, and Ragi where assigned — tap to play directly.
v71
May 2026
Recently Added feed
A new "Recently Added" link at the top of the home screen shows the latest uploads from the Seva team — Daily Hazris, Ragi Shabads, Playlist Shabads, and Videos — so the Sangat can always find fresh content at a glance.
v70
May 2026
Calendar today date highlight fix
When navigating away and returning to the current month, today's date is now automatically selected — showing white text on blue background correctly.
v69
May 2026
Ragi photo placeholder updated
When a Ragi has no photo, the fallback icon now shows a music note instead of the previous emoji.
v68
May 2026
Itihasak events now appear in Reminder Banner
Historical Sikh events (Itihasak category) such as Fateh Divas and Guriaee Divas are now included in the Today / Tomorrow reminder banner shown on the home screen.
v67
May 2025
Ragi Library — With Shabads filter
Ragi Library now shows only Ragis who have recorded Shabads by default. Toggle to "All Ragis" to see the full list. The A–Z selector always respects the active filter.
Upload photo to existing Ragi or Playlist
In the Admin panel, you can now upload a missing photo to any Ragi or Playlist directly from the Manage tab — without needing to re-edit the full record.
App Changelog introduced
This What's New page! Every future update will add a new card here so the Sangat always knows what has improved in the app.
