Beta version 1.8 released to TestFlight

New in version 1.8 (Public Testflight link)

  • A “Blame” indicator

    1. In cases where multiple warning highlights are displayed, it was not immediately apparent what needed to be done to address the warnings. To fix this, a "Blame" indicator, in the form of an exclamation mark icon, is now added to the Tile whose setting needs to be changed. In the next version, this icon will be a tappable button that brings up inline help describing what needs to be done.

  • In the move to the new UI, Overhead Percent was lost. This is back now.

  • Added a disclosure chevron to indicate that a Tile contains additional controls. Tap the chevron to reveal the controls. This change was made, in part, to mitigate Known Issue #2 below.

  • Inline help has been added to the Blue "Toggle L1 / L2" Tile.

Known issues:

  • Help text needs to be rewritten in many places to match the new UI

  • The ScrollView will scroll back to the top when changing Tabs and when dismissing Help. From what I've been able to determine, this is not fixable with Apple’s current implementation of SwiftUI, which provides a way to read the current scroll position, but (unlike UIKit) doesn't provide a way to set the scroll position. We may have to wait until after 2020 WWDC for this. Until then, I've mitigated this somewhat by reducing the space between Tiles so that there's less distance to scroll. I admit it's pretty annoying :-(
