Updated content, minor bug fixes, and other bits and nuggets of goodness.
5.7.1
2023-05-11
In this update, the last major one of the season, I have improved the way to navigate between adjacent towns along the way.
I have also fixed some map-related bugs, thanks to all of you who have written to help me diagnose them.
5.6.4

5.6.0
2023-03-03
This update does two things at the same time.
It introduces the ability to send updates 'Over the air' meaning that if there is a change in telephone number, or price, or opening hours of your accommodation I can get them to you faster. The is important at the moment since the hiking season is beginning and many albergues are making last minute changes.
New routes will still be delivered via app store updates.
-and-
It eliminates a minor bug that annoyed me greatly.
Everything else remains as awesome as always.
5.4.0
2022-08-29
This release introduces a dark mode for lights out albergue users. And it greatly cleans up the UX to make more content more visible.
There are a few new photos from a recent camino, and minor changes to prices and availability.
Thank you everyone for all of the comments you leave within the app!
5.3.0
2022-07-12
Content Update: Updated opened/closed, as well as prices.
Feature: Introducing the WhatsApp Message Maker: A simple tool to help you initiate a conversation with the albergue or hotel owner to check for availability and request a reservation. It automatically translates what you need into a short request, and from their you can finish the deal directly with the property owner.
Usability: Improved the way that maps are rendered, with new buttons to switch between types and another to turn off the labels.

2022 SPRING UPDATE
Updated content for the 2022 pilgrims. These include many uncertain closures and reopening and new prices as well as updated contact information.
Also, minor bug fixes with a focus on notched devices.
4.0.9
2021-05-12
2021 SPRING UPDATE
I have undone some of the changes made during last Spring's update. Rather than maintain an evershifting list of openings and closings, I have included all accommodation that have not been confirmed as permanently closed. There are some new albergues, and several more have changed ownership.
Also, minor bug fixes. The initial distances are now calculated correctly, with León set as the starting point. Remember to set your new starting point every morning!
4.0.5
2020-04-11
I hope these release notes find all of you safe at home and healthy with your family, no doubt looking forward to brighter days on the camino.
This update hopes to make those days a bit easier to navigate. Here in Santiago we are all home bound so I have made the best of the situation by coding some long desired changes to the apps.
Design Changes, Functionality Additions, and a bit of bed bug fumigation:
• A completely redesigned 'region' view. This was to accommodate a new feature which allows you to set a place as your starting point, and because of that all of the distances had to be reconsidered for the best readability. It should be rather intuitive, and it is better described in the legend page. These changes also allow for the page to be a lot more readable, and of course planning your day just got a lot easier.
• Better accommodation sorting. Accommodation in a city is now better sorted, with albergues grouped by type at the top and with private accommodation options grouped by type below. No more funny business where albergues were scattered randomly throughout the list.
• Better comment sorting. In the past comments didn’t always sort by date. In the now they do.
• Better visualization for exactly how far away from the camino some of those alternate routes take you.
• A bug which caused to guide to crash if there was a comment which was empty has been fumigated.
• Most users will now see the correct decimal separator for distances, with periods and commas appearing where they ought to.
• Generally better typography. Some missing characters were fixed, sizes were adjusted, that kind of thing.
Stay safe, and I hope to see you all later this year.
