Release Notes

Require approval or block publishing with workspace policies Workspace admins and owners on Enterprise plans can now set workspace policies that block publishing or require an admin or owner to approve it first. Policies cover apps with unresolved findings of personal data, apps published by external collaborators, apps published publicly, apps that use connectors, and publishing from unverified email domains. When a policy requires approval, the person publishing sends a request from the publish dialog, and Lovable publishes the app when an admin or owner approves it. Enable policies in your workspace's Privacy & security settings. Review publish requests and findings in the Action center Workspace admins and owners on Business and Enterprise plans now have an Action center in the dashboard sidebar. It lists what needs a decision: publish requests waiting for approval, projects whose owner left the workspace, projects whose credit usage rose sharply, public apps with critical security findings, and public apps with no edits for months. From each row you can approve or deny a request, assign an owner, or unpublish an app. Add OIDC sign-in to your app In an app on the built-in backend (Cloud), you can now let your users sign in with your own OpenID Connect provider, such as Auth0, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or Keycloak, next to the other sign-in methods. Enable OIDC in your project's authentication settings and enter the details from your provider. Lovable then starts a build that adds the sign-in button to your app. The build is treated as standard build usage and consumes credits. Sign-ins consume no credits. Lovable writes and runs tests for the rules you change Lovable now adds a small test when you add or change a rule in your app, such as a price, a limit, or a permission. It runs the tests that cover the change before it reports the work as done, and keeps the tests in your project. Lovable does not write tests for copy, styling, or markup. Connect your app to Pledge You can now connect your Lovable app to Pledge to search verified nonprofits worldwide, create and track donations, and create and update fundraisers. It fits donation checkouts, loyalty point redemption, cause campaign pages, and employee giving programs. Add it from Connectors, or ask Lovable in a project to connect it. GPT Transcribe for your app's speech-to-text features Your app's AI features can now use OpenAI's GPT Transcribe (openai/gpt-transcribe), the new default speech-to-text model. It accepts audio files up to 25 MB, and your app can pass context, expected keywords, and languages as hints for names and specialist vocabulary. Ask Lovable to use it in your app, or describe what you want and let Lovable pick. Formatted Markdown previews in the Files tab Markdown files in your project's Files tab now open as formatted text, with tables, task lists, footnotes, and code blocks you can copy. Markdown files in Chats open in the same preview. Larger document previews in the Files tab A document you open in your project's Files tab now fills the preview pane. Its actions, such as adding it to the chat or a collection, are in the header above the document. Removed: tabs in the desktop app Tabs have been removed from the Lovable desktop app in version 1.9. The sidebar already lists your chats and projects, so the tabs were redundant. Switch between chats and projects from the sidebar, or hold Ctrl+Tab to pick from your recent chats. New downloads include 1.9, and the app offers the update when you open it.
