Release Notes for Observation

Current and previous updates of Observation and Observation Lite along with their improvements and changes.

Version 1.7

Conditions Location Selection: Select the location to view conditions from a list of nearby locations or browse a full list of all available Clear Sky Chart locations.

This version should also reduce the overall network usage of Observation in fetching Conditions information as well as improve performance slightly.

Version 1.6

• Fixed a text encoding bug that could cause a crash based on location information.

Version 1.5

• Fixed CSV export formatting bugs.
• Fixed bugs related to Conditions data fetching errors.
• Modified Seeing/Transparency reporting.

Version 1.4

• Fixed various bugs related location services that could cause crashes.
• Specifically fixed a crash when location services are disabled on iPod Touch.

Version 1.3

Log Entry Fields: Fields Observation automatically fills in can now be changed from their automatic defaults. This includes the date, longitude & latitude, seeing, and transparency fields.

• Fixed a crash on launch when location services are enabled.
• Fixed a bug related to log entry notes and scrolling.

Version 1.2

• Substantial changes to Conditions data processing and location information handling. This should fix some crashes related to the Conditions tab and should improve performance of the Conditions tab.
• Integrated PLCrashReporter. If the app crashes, you'll now see an alert the next time you run it asking if you wish to submit crash data back to Water-Powered Ideas anonymously. We highly recommend you do so.

• Fixed issues with custom location coordinate parsing and added support for colon-separated values (DD:MM:SS)

Version 1.1

Custom Location: Use the phone's current location... or don't. Observation will allow you to enter custom coordinates in one of three accepted formats instead of using the device's current coordinates. This will be used to select nearby Clear Sky Charts and will be stored in Log Entries.

• Red Tint option renamed to Night Mode
• Better location error reporting and handling
• Fixed Conditions-related bugs that could cause stability problems.
