Changelog (Symbian)

0.6.6 -> 0.6.8 (December 23rd 2012)

• -

0.6.5 -> 0.6.6 (August 15th 2012)

• Changed MyWorldHelpScreen texts
• Added reconnect boolean to MyWorldGPS failure, no longer reconnects for 'id' when account not found, moved string 'Retrying' from AsyncPost to GPS
• Added timestamp to Paused status field (Time paused)
• Optimized image resources
• Added 4 second wait in loginhandler when connection fails before retry
• Changed 'restart the app if this takes too long' text in AsyncLogin
• Added confirmation to Flag screen cancel button
• Changed isUseful to return no data if no vehiclemode, complete postdata entry if vehiclemode is on. "&v=1" (reduces data usage on vehiclemode=false blocks by 9 bytes each)
• Removed the combineCheck
• Added flagMinLocTime to force new location after gps has been paused before creating new flag (flag could be in the past, we need a fairly recent location for a new flag)
• Now removing all form commands before adding new (Flags/Reconnect)

0.6.4 -> 0.6.5 (May 30th 2012)

• When submitting saved blocks, now checking for current cachesize to keep proportions (May send current cache first, before continueing submission of saved blocks)
  Must be thoroughly tested; may cause trouble on (really) slow connections
• Changed connection error messages (Post/Login IOE); Now provides more insight to the technically uneducated
• Raised blockSubmissionSize from 200 to 600; Now sending out an hour of history in 6 requests instead of 18. Must be tested; The previous limit (200) was a result of a complex mathematical equasion (memory/datatransferspeed/time); Though, reduction in data size may allow for 600 (old phones must be checked..)
• Added 'Pause GPS' functionality; Click or touch the GPS Status bar to Pause the GPS. May be very useful when standing still somewhere to submit historic GPS data over Wifi.
• Fixed a bug in AsyncLoginAndReturn and AsyncPostAndReturn (switch IOException) that would cause a rare NumberFormatException if e.getMessage() returned an unparsable string
• Cleaned up AvatarHandler (rewrote runnable)
• Added reloading of usersWatchingScreen in case of unexpected logout ('id') ('Account not found') from asyncpost/gps
• Changed error handling LoginHandler for server maintenance ('Switched Offline' / 'Server maintenance')
