aprs.fi app for iOS: version 2.5.4 is out!

[Heikki Hannikainen]

Hi!

There's a new version of the aprs.fi iPhone & iPad app out today! It's set
up to roll out slowly to everyone over the next 7 days, but you can always
go to the App Store app, search for aprs.fi and download the latest
version from there.

Something that I find quite cool is that aprs.fi is the #11 paid app in
the US within the Navigation category!

List of changes:

• 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.
