What's new in 1.0.6 Jobs, front and center • Open calls now lead with the freshest posts, and every card shows who's hiring at a glance. • Tell Aelora what you're after: choose your categories and a distance under Preferences, and get a heads up the moment a matching gig is posted nearby. • Tap a job alert and land straight on that job. Never miss who's around • A weekly roundup of the new faces and happenings near you. • Occasional nudges when there are creatives close by worth reaching out to, because Aelora only works when someone says hello. • Every notification type now has its own switch under Preferences. Richer messages • Share photos and voice notes in chat. Plus onboarding polish, bug fixes and performance improvements.

You can now join Aelora without an invite code — apply directly from sign-up. Have a code from a member? Add it during onboarding. Also in this release: • In-app update prompt so you always have the latest version • Faster review of new member applications • Bug fixes and stability improvements

• You now have 10 invite codes — share and track them in Settings. • A new screen for adding and arranging your work, plus fixes for photos that wouldn't load and uploads that hung. • Embers now say what you want to make this week, and can run for up to 7 days. • Anyone can post a job, and the Jobs tab lists open calls near you. • Get notified when someone views or saves your profile, or asks to connect. • Spaces now appear on the map, with a filter to match. • Faster, steadier account switching and a fix for the waiting-for-approval screen.

Profiles got a big upgrade: • Credits, front and center — your collaborations now live in a swipeable rail right under your name, with roles, paired avatars, and a "Confirmed by both" seal once your collaborator approves. • Media with a story — add a location, date, and collaborator credit to any photo or video. Credited work shows who you made it with, and tapping a location opens the map right where it was shot. • Save profiles — bookmark artists you want to remember with the save icon next to their name. It's completely private, and your saved list lives on your profile. • Cleaner bios and links — long bios tuck behind "Read more," and links show as neat @handles. • Your connections, your business — connections lists are now private to you. Also in this update: • Discover creatives Everywhere, or focus on your area — switch anytime from the filter. • New Company accounts for businesses without a venue — post jobs and get discovered. • Occasional announcements from Aelora, with an easy opt-out in Preferences.

New in this version Redesigned Home screen — an editorial feed with a Featured Artist spotlight, live Embers, the community Wall, and rails for upcoming events, open calls, and people to discover nearby. Embers — short, time-limited "right now" posts (e.g. "Free studio 3–6pm today") that automatically disappear when they expire. The Wall — members can share images of new work, credited to the maker, and browse others' work as a gallery. Collaboration credits — credit a collaborator on a piece of work; the credit only appears on both profiles after the collaborator confirms it (double opt-in). Profiles now show a credits section. Beacon — an opt-in, time-limited "open to collaborate" indicator on the Explore map (about 4 hours, one activation per week). Event hosts can also light up their event's pin. An optional short message can notify a handful of nearby members; these notifications can be muted in settings. Account switching — members can add a linked Space (venue) account and switch between accounts in-app. Every linked account goes through the same onboarding and admin approval process as a new signup — approval is never inherited. Events screen — a full list of upcoming events, grouped by date. Connection-request notifications — in-app and push notifications when someone asks to connect. In-app rating prompt — an occasional native App Store review prompt after regular use. Stronger profiles — onboarding now requires a profile photo and at least one work sample (also enforced when editing a profile). Improvements & fixes Fixed a crash when opening an admin notification about a member awaiting approval. Polished post composers, event map markers, credit cards, and settings; assorted UI fixes throughout.

• For a limited time, you can now browse other locations. • You can now create your own events. Event creation is open to all members. • Fixed profile header photos so faces are no longer cropped. • Various design refinements and minor fixes.
