What has been fixed/changed?
- iOS Screenshot is working again
- You can sort your beans now for remaining weight
- Varia AKU Mini is now supported (Maybe Varia needs to publish a new Firmware)
- Specially for poor performance devices: An experimental feature has been added, where you can set the refresh-rate of the graph to minimize lagging
- You can enable a new setting for “1 of 2 cups on the scale”, if you want to do a split shot, but your scale just can handle one scale - The function will double the incoming weight.
- You can now select a connection mode for Acaia scales on iOS. If you’re experiencing issues with older models and the new connection routine, you can revert to the previous “V1” mode in the settings.
What has been fixed?
- Bean-sharing link has been fixed again.
- Autostart from pressure threshold sometimes ended in an stop after some seconds, because the weight of the scale still reported like 150g in the first 0.1s/0.2s, and therefore auto stop logic from Beanconqueror triggered.
- Fixing listening mode for the AKU Micro scale, to not start immediately when weight was not zero.
- Removing multiple unneeded permissions which came from the migration from Cordova to Capacitor which somehow slipped. - Just Android. Thanks @RagingCactus for the continuous support here.
- Using the Capacitor-App Launcher instead of InAppBrowser (which required a lot of unneeded permissions) - Just Android. Thanks @RagingCactus for this change.
- Added some more loggings for NFC, after some NFC-Chips didn’t work.
What has been fixed?
- On Android with specific setups Acaia scales had a connect/disconnect loop - I’ve switched back the connection logic to the old routine) (Sidenote: For iOS there where no reportings, and they will still take the new connection way, which has been tested on a iPhone 15 and iPad 10 with Pearl S and Lunar 2021 without encountering those)
- On iOS I’ve set up the delay to show “no weight” to 4 sec instead of 2.5, because on test side the weight has been sent, but when connecting the first time, it sometimes took 3 sec (where the popup already has been displayed)
App Layer
- The app layer has been changed (from Cordova to Capacitor), if you encounter any issues, please contact: [email protected]
- Coming with this there have been done a lot of performance-tweaks
- I want to give an big thanks here to RagingCactus which did an phenomenal job in lifting the application here!
