[ANN] Yojimbo for iPad 1.1.5 (287) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

We're currently working on a maintenance update to the Yojimbo companion app for iPad to address a few recently reported issues.

Note that this is a _pre-release_ version. The intent is to fix bugs and address areas of improvement based on what our customers have reported. However, since the software is at this point not fully tested, there _may_ be bugs and regressions.

If this prospect makes you nervous, then sticking with the public release versions is your best course of action. Nobody will be offended if you choose to do so; you're under no obligation to install and use anything but a public release. :-)

Complete change notes to date for all the pre-release builds in this cycle are available below.

The change notes are organized into additions, changes, and fixes, and are annotated where appropriate with case numbers. So if you recognize a number corresponding to a support case that was opened for you, you can now verify that it's been fixed correctly. Please take the time to review the changes before using the new build -- it'll be worth your time.

One final note: If you run into a bug in a pre-release version, PLEASE DO NOT REPORT THE BUG TO THE LIST. This includes asking about whether others have seen the same problem. Instead, please send a bug report to <sup...@barebones.com> and we will deal with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on topic and productive for all list members.

Here is the list of changes made since the Yojimbo for iPad 1.1.4 public release:

============================================================================

version 1.1.5 (287) (2022-12-14)

Additions
---------

* The app now allows (optionally) biometric authentication via Touch ID/Face ID for decrypting passwords and other encrypted items.

Changes
-------

* Yojimbo for iPad requires iOS 12.0 or later.

* Refined the appearance and behavior of the passkey entry panel during initial pairing.

* You can cancel pairing if you wish; if you do, tapping on the "refresh" icon in the sidebar will bring up the pairing panel again.

* The app now uses the standard iOS share panel for sharing items.

Fixes
-----

* Worked around iOS networking bug that interfered with pairing and syncing.

* Fixed bug when running on iOS 16 in which the password panel would appear and then immediately disappear, thus making it impossible to view or copy encrypted items. ***Please note that you will need Yojimbo 4.6.3 or later, which includes a matching fix for the desktop.***

* Fixed a few cosmetic and layout glitches here and there.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
