What's new in Loupe

What changed in the most recent Loupe releases, newest first. Each entry lists the App and Desktop versions the way About Loupe in Settings shows them.

1.13 (October 2026)

App 1.13 · Desktop 2.1.21

Highlights

Compare overview. A compare with two or more tables or automations opens on an Overview that runs them all with one click and shows, for each one, what is only in one environment, what matches, how many records differ and in which fields. Run all of them or only the ones you tick, open any of them for the full results, and export the whole compare as one Excel report. See Run everything from the Overview.

Improvements and fixes

An automation step or Data export that read from a step you removed now says so, for example MITFAC (no longer available), so you know to choose another source.
The program list in a step no longer opens in the middle of the screen while the step is still loading.

Also in this release: security and performance improvements.

1.12 (October 2026)

App 1.12 · Desktop 2.1.21

Highlights

Transform and translate data in automations. Clean up and translate input values on the way to M3, without editing the input file first. Field transforms trim, pad, reformat dates and numbers, join values and look values up. Transformation steps work out a translated value once, and every later step, condition and export column can use it. See Transform and translate data.

Lookup tables and variables. A collection holds lookup tables, such as old warehouse codes and their new ones, with several keys and results per row, * for any value, and rows you upload or paste from Excel. Variables such as a cut-over date are set once for the whole collection. The date and time of the run can be used as a value too.

Dry run. Run an automation without changing anything in M3: steps that read run for real, and steps that write show the transactions they would have sent, including any required fields that are not set. See Try it with a dry run.

Build automations with AI. Describe what an automation should do and attach your files, and Loupe drafts its steps for you to review. For organizations with Loupe Code. See Build automations with AI.

Improvements and fixes

Where conditions now read and before or: a or b and c means a or (b and c). It used to mean (a or b) and c. See Where conditions.
A mapped field reads the step it names, even when the row has a column with the same name.
Data initialization can hold several related files, such as customers and their addresses, and read the sheets of a workbook. See Several files and workbook sheets.
Raw M3 exports: values that repeat the row before now import correctly; they used to come through empty.
Export columns can read variables and the date and time of the run.

Also in this release: security and performance improvements.

1.11.0 (9 October 2026)

App 1.11.0 · Desktop 2.1.21

Highlights

Loupe Code prices. Administrators see the price list for Loupe Code under Settings, and spending is shown in your organization's billing currency (EUR or SEK).

Recently deleted. Apps, scripts and programs you delete in Loupe Code go to Recently deleted in the tree first, where you can bring them back.

Improvements and fixes

The conversation that built an app or script shows when each reply arrived and how long it took.
Translations can translate just the texts that are still missing, when you ask for it.

Also in this release: security and performance improvements.

1.10.0 (5 October 2026)

App 1.10.0 · Desktop 2.1.21

Highlights

Loupe Code spending for administrators. Settings shows what each app and script cost, spending per member and per day, and lets administrators set monthly limits. Spending is only visible to administrators. See Build with Loupe Code.

Script releases. M3 scripts can be released under a version number, the same way apps are.

Sign-in that requires a compliant device. Where your organization only lets compliant devices sign in to Microsoft, Desktop 2.1.21 on Windows now passes, the way Edge and Chrome do. Devices managed with Microsoft Intune work too. It used to answer this browser is not supported.

Improvements and fixes

Translations show how complete each language is, can retranslate a language or remove it, and list each language's M3 code.
Closing an M3 environment takes you back to Loupe.
Long lists of outputs in Code wrap instead of widening the view, plus a round of smaller fixes.

Also in this release: security and performance improvements.

1.9.0 (18 September 2026)

App 1.9.0 · Desktop 2.1.17

Highlights

A project overview in Loupe Code. A project opens on an overview, and each item shows its own row while it builds. Builds that wait in line say so, and can be cancelled.

Port an MI transaction from M3 source. A new MI transaction can start from the source code of an existing M3 program.

Rules belong to the script. The field rules you pick in M3 are stored on the script, and the Build view has one tab per panel. See Build an M3 script.

Improvements and fixes

Translations add several languages at once, from a grouped list.
The preview's request log names the ION calls and shows the calls still waiting.
The M3 error pill in Explore always goes away, plus a round of smaller fixes.

Also in this release: security and performance improvements.

1.8.0 (13 September 2026)

App 1.8.0 (1.8.1 hotfix) · Desktop 2.1.15

Highlights

Loupe Code. Describe a screen, script or MI program and Loupe builds it against your own M3 metadata, places elements on the live M3 panel, and shows what each app has cost. Available to organizations with a Code subscription; contact the Loupe team to add it.

Feature access per member. Administrators now choose which of Explore, Compare, Automate, Run and Code each person sees, right next to their environment access. See Features.

Differences marked in Excel. Compare exports paint every differing cell red, and rows that differ stay in the export whatever the grid is filtered to. See Compare environments.

Improvements and fixes

Fixed: no way to sign in from Compare and Explore. When you were signed out of an environment, the environment picker did not show up, so clicking a compare did nothing and Explore had nowhere to sign in. Both are back (Explore in 1.8.1).
Clearer messages when the desktop app is too old for a feature, plus a round of smaller fixes.
Desktop 2.1.15 is needed for the Loupe Code features that run inside M3. Update the desktop app to use them.

Also in this release: security and performance improvements.

1.7.0 (26 August 2026)

App 1.7.0 · Desktop 2.0.20

Highlights

Large imports, no waiting. Data initialization streams big Excel and CSV files with live progress, and warns before an import that would not fit in memory. See Build automations.

Faster automation runs. Runs report their phases and timings, and stay smooth on large automations.

Improvements and fixes

Exports ask where to save the file first, and work at any size Excel can open.
Stop automation stops right away.
Fixed grid scrolling on machines with overlay scrollbars, plus a round of smaller fixes.

Also in this release: security and performance improvements.

1.6.10 (14 August 2026)

App 1.6.10 · Desktop 2.0.19

Improvements and fixes

Sharing a compare now shows it as shared straight away. See Share your work.
When your session expires you land on the sign-in page instead of an error page.

Also in this release: security and performance improvements.

1.6.9 (13 August 2026)

App 1.6.9 · Desktop 2.0.17

Highlights

A clearer picture of every run. The automation result view has an overview, errors grouped by error code, and a grid of every transaction with its input and output. See Build automations.

Stale results are flagged. Compare marks a result as stale when you change fields, filters or environment after a run, and clears the flag when you run again.

Improvements and fixes

The Save compare button is gone; compares save themselves.
Compare's edit panel shows field lengths and stays put while you edit, plus a round of smaller fixes.

Also in this release: security and performance improvements.
