2.12.0
Feb 23, 2018
This release was all about fixing known issues and making things faster. It's our first real "Bug fixes and Performance Improvements" update!
- The "you've been challenged" message was cut off, so we tightened it up a little
- We added the ability for campaigns and schools to have help documents because hey, who doesn't need a little help?
- Sometimes the buttons on the challenge page wouldn't show up. We showed them
- When we created the "My Stuff" page, we forgot to move the activation notice. We moved it
- When someone comments on something you already commented on, you'll be notified so you won't miss the conversation
- If you activate an account that's already activated, you now get different message
- When you uploaded and cropped a photo, you used to get a strange smaller version of the photo off to the right. We put it in it's spot
- This is really embarrassing, but we used the wrong apostrophe in our welcome email. We spent most of our time on this one
- If you donated to a project and your donation was sponsored, you used to get a red ring around the sponsor's logo. Not any more!
- When you donated, the project meter wasn't updating in real time. It is now
- The text you see that tells you where you're sharing your story would sometimes appear under your story. We thought that was distracting, so we fixed it
- We forgot to change the "how do I donate" message when we moved the deposit button. Our bad
- Sometimes the hashtags wouldn't show up when you were posting your story. We're sorry
- If you had lots of friends, the "Send Challenge" button would cover the bottom row of friends. If you need a friend, let me know
- We solved some "touch scroll" issues that would sometimes make it feel like the app was frozen
- The app went on a diet and we removed a bunch of code and assets from the app that we weren't using anymore
- We reduced the number of calls we were making to the server in several places. You might notice things are a little more perky than usual
We loved making the app better for you and we hope you enjoy using it as much as we do making it.
