Release Notes for Version 7.9 Production
New enhancements in version 7.9:
- App restart: The Launchpad is no longer required. Startup mode selection has been moved directly into the Bookmap application, so everything is now managed in one place.
When a restart is needed (for example, after changing certain settings), Bookmap will automatically close and reopen itself with the same startup parameters. This simplifies the startup process, removes the extra Launchpad window, and provides a faster, more consistent experience across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
-
Improved Heatmap colors for Small Sizes We've improved how the heatmap handles vertical smoothing, preserving significantly more detail when order sizes are small. More detail at small sizes — Smoothing now retains finer gradations instead of flattening small-size levels reducing blockiness. Cleaner vertical reads — Price levels blend more naturally, making it easier to track subtle liquidity changes without losing precision.
-
Some Studies Have Moved to Add-ons We've migrated a few legacy studies out of the Studies panel and into dedicated add-ons, giving each one more room to grow with focused updates and improvements. Cumulative Volume Delta → now available as the Bookmap CVD add-on Theoretical Average → now available as the Bookmap Breakeven Point add-on Volume Imbalance → now available as the Bookmap Volume Imbalance add-on
-
What this means for you: these indicators will soon be removed from the Studies panel. If you rely on them, open the corresponding add-on from the Add-ons Manager to keep using the functionality — with more capability on the way. Full details are in the knowledge base.
