Good evening!

There is a new release available! The Zip file is available here:

I'm glad to say that the provisioning file (as of this writing) up to
date with everyone's UUID who has submitted one.

If you've already installed Release 1, then the procedure will be
identical. You will need to re-install the mobileprovision file,
because it changed this time (in order to add the additional set of
devices). (If you're updating the previous version, you might need to
visit the Setting pane for MobileGAF and reset the new settings.
There's a bug in app updates that doesn't respect defaults properly.)

If this is the first build you've been included on, please check the
instructions I sent with Release 1 for installing the app:

Changes:
- Refresh button moved to a new bottom toolbar in the Thread and Post
views. I don't know about you, but I always accidentally click it, and
it reduces the space to print the thread title. (Note that the search
and reply icons are *disabled* in this release)
- Dynamically adjusting text in the header. This was surprisingly
challenging, but it should mean much less cryptic thread title names
(I think it'll cram about 30 chars before breaking to ellipses)
- Ignore posts will render now and won't break the Post view. An
ignored post will contain links to the user who posted, the original
post, and a prompt to remove the user from your ignore list.
- Preferences now in the Settings App
- You can optionally hide sticky threads now
- You can set the navigation (and tab, and tool) bar to a set of
four colors: Blue (as in iPhone default blue), Black, Purple, and
Orange. If you have a yearning color preference, feel free to post a
suggestion to the group (with RGB values, too, please)
- You can set the opacity of the toolbar. If you like it to be
completely opaque, you can have that. If you'd like it to be only half
visible, you can do that too. I didn't want the toolbar to take away
from reading room, so I actually leave mine pretty transparent.
Getting this to work well was a fun challenge.
- If you an experience an error when loading the page, the Refresh
button should clear the error screen (fewer errors will require you to
pop out of the thread and back in)
- Double-tapping the navigation bar during a page load should no
longer crash the app.

Have fun with it, and remember to log your issues/suggestions to the
group. Special thanks to RubXQub for the depressingly long number of
bugs he's found (pretty much all of which have yet to be dealt with).

Thanks,

Juice
