What’s New
Version 2.5.5
• Improve station symbol placement on the map. Don't just place them in random incorrect positions near the correct position, but rather draw them in the actual precise position instead. This bug was introduced in version 2.5.4.
Improvements in version 2.5.4:
• 1-year Extra Features subscriptions now support Family Sharing!
• Localisation updates: Updated translations for Chinese/Traditional, Japanese, and German. Thank you, everyone who helped on this!
• Implemented device identifier detection for Mic-E position packets received from a TNC, with the help of the aprs-deviceid database.
• Updated the aprs-deviceid database to the latest version to detect brand new devices.
• Messaging: The app used to crash when deleting threads without actually selecting any threads for deletion first. This might seem like an odd thing to do, but as a paying customer you have the right to delete all of 0 threads, and the app should certainly not crash. It no longer does.
• Messaging: The app used to crash when the "Select all" button was pressed, but no threads existed for selection. Fixed the silly little bug so that all of 0 threads can now selected without a crash.
• Messaging: Only show relevant actions in the message context menu (when pressing a message for a longer time). It no longer suggests you to "retransmit" a received message.
• Messaging: Links are now clickable in messages, and shall open up your preferred web browser.
• TNC: When stopping the DSP modem using the Disconnect button, the modem now actually closes the audio input device, and the recording indicator goes away.
• Replaced several deprecated iOS APIs with new ones to keep up with new iOS versions. Updated a bunch of other little things to new versions.
