Version 7.2: released October 2, 2023 - changes:


Version 7.1: released August 14, 2023 - changes:

# July 2023: No immediate Anchor alarm

During tracking activity 'Anchor', if the alarmzone radius is reduced with the TrackSet: Anch. alarmzone rad. Picker and the current position is then outside the alarmzone, alarm is not given immediately, only after movement is registered.


Version 7.0: released June 26, 2023 - changes:


Version 6.9: released May 1, 2023 - changes:


Version 6.8: released February 20, 2023 - changes:

# Dec 2022: Ended track invisible

If tracking is ended in a 59th second, it is invisible from the History mainpage if in 'Date+clock mode'.

Workaround: switch to 'Date only mode'.


Version 6.7: released December 12, 2022 - changes:

# Nov 2022: Bad orientation of Shoot landscape photos (iOS 16 only)

Capturing photos with the Shoot page when in landscape mode results in wrong orientation: they are turned 90 degrees clockwise - as can be observed in the Shot preview page. This also applies to photos optionally saved to the Cameraroll from the App.

This problem doesn't occur in the App when running under iOS 14 and iOS 15 - nor does it occur when in portrait mode.

## Nov 2022: Bad display of direction markers

If the 'Show direction markers switch' in 'The Map settings page' is set ON, and a sequence of tracks with intermediate note(s) is displayed with the   HistMap   button (one of the Output buttons in the History mainpage), then part of the Map display may be corrupted by a meaningless large number of direction markers.


Version 6.6: released August 8, 2022 - changes:

# June 2022: Blank Blowup page

If an item in the Photo page *without* MetaData (i.e. has no yellow 'MM' MetaMap label) is copied to the Photo Clipboard, then the 'Blowup from Photo Clipboard' action opens a blank page.


Version 6.5: released June 13, 2022 - changes:


Version 6.4: released May 2, 2022 - changes:

# Apr 2022: Sunlight mode switch turns OFF

Pressing home or swiping upwards, switching to another App or putting the device to sleep turns the Sunlight mode switch OFF.

Workaround: turn the switch ON again every time one of the above is done (sic)!


Version 6.3: released March 21, 2022 - changes:

# Dec 2021: Yellow color in Dark appearance when Sunlight mode switch is ON

When the Sunlight mode switch setting is ON, some UI elements stay yellow when starting the App in Dark appearance.

Workaround: turn the Sunlight mode switch OFF - or enter Light appearance.


Version 6.2: released February 9, 2022 - changes:

# Jan 2022: Problematic capital 'F' as first letter in Tzone Templates

When 'Preparing the Tzone Templates', a capital 'F' as first letter in the Comments field (only) should be avoided. A lower-case 'f' is okay.

A problem arises when later trying to Import a Backup file produced by Export if such 'F' letter(s) occured then.

Workaround: examine your TzoneTemplates Content to check if any first letter 'F' occurs in the Comments field of any template. If so, change to another initial letter. And do a new Export.

## Feb 2022: Invisble texts in Compass Subview in Speeds page

If the Labels white in light mode switch is turned OFF, no compass direction marker texts (N, nne, NE, ... , nnw) appear, since they are shown black on a black background.

Workaround: set the switch ON.


Version 6.1: released January 10, 2022 - changes:

# Dec 2021: Eventlist Options Menu doesn't open

Tapping the   ?   button in the navigation bar of the Eventlist doesn 't open the Eventlist Options Menu when a Page sheet presentation style is active.

## Dec 2021: VMG not affected by Weatherfetch

VMG (one of the The Track mainpage) is not updated when Using Weatherfetch.

(Is now removed from Track mainpage: the 'Speeds' page makes it superfluous)


Version 6.0: released December 11, 2021 - changes:

#) Oct 2021: Sunlight mode

When in Light appearance, and the Sunlight mode switch setting is changed, this has no effect in the:

##) Oct 2021: Apperance change

When the Sunlight mode switch is ON, and Light appearance changes to Dark appearance - not vice versa - the bottom tab bar stays yellow. Workaround: set the switch OFF and restart the App.

###) Nov 2021: Invisible navigation bar buttons

The Photo Options Menu action: Add from Cameraroll opens a standard iOS photo picker where the   Cancel   and the   Add   navigation bar buttons are almost invisible.

Actually, the issue is only parly solved: the poor visibility remains, but an 'Invisible nav. bar buttons' dialog pops up to inform.
