Aprs.fi iOS app version 2.8.0 is out!

It'll roll out slowly over the next 7 days, but you can look it up on the
app store and update right away if you want to enjoy it fresh and hot from
the oven. Mostly bugfixes, but also a new language: Hungarian! Köszönjük
to HG4ZKZ and HG1DFB, who apparently had time for this and we are very
grateful.

• The minimum supported iOS version is now 14.1. Yes, I did the math.
• Weather data: Luminosity now shows the correct W/m² unit in graphs, and
also appears in the station info view.
• Fixed a tab bar colour flickering when scrolling table views. It was
basically a tiny disco, and not the good kind.
• Translation updates for Spanish, Traditional Chinese (zh-Hant), and
Dutch. Thanks to everyone involved — you know who you are.
• The login prompt in the Beacon view can now speak your language.
Literally. After someone translates that new string.
• Overhauled state restoration to use current iOS APIs. Bonus: the User
Guide now remembers where you were, so you can actually go back and forth
between the instructions and the thing you're trying to do without losing
your place and giving up. Tap the navigation bar to scroll to top.
• Filter list: source filter (network/TNC) now survives an app restart. It
had been quietly forgetting this on every launch, like a golden
retriever, but now it does not.
• Launch image is now PDF/vector format. Crisp at any size.
• Decoded packets: "messagerej" field is now shown for the message-id of
rejected text messages. Rejection, now with proper attribution.
• Some other internal improvements here and there! We tidied up. You
probably won't notice, but I will, and that's enough for me.

Thank you. 
I just grabbed 2.8.0 from the App Store. It updated smoothly and appears to be working fine.
