Ontime v4.8.0 streamlines Google Sheets import with unified steps and adds cue renumbering via context menu. Updates include Safari color inheritance fixes, iOS 14 legacy support, and cleaner automation workflows.

Why it matters: Simplified import and renumber features reduce friction for broadcast timeline workflows. Safari and iOS 14 fixes resolve cross-browser compatibility gaps. Routine upgrade for teams managing event scheduling.
