This patch fixes an embarrassing image glitch and brings better video playback.
Correct aspect ratio of Search Result and Queue images.
Improved video playback integration, animating the mini-player when skipping between audio and video, and allowing seemless remote-controlled skipping from video to video, for example, with Now Playing on Apple Watch.
Plus, no more flickering of the mini-player play button.

Good news, everyone! Two long-standing issues have been resolved.
Finally, you can type episode titles into the searchbar to receive matching suggestions. A bug, only summaries were scanned, had been thwarting this until now.

8.1

In preparation for iOS 13 this fall, these changes adjust layout timing, improve performance, and install scaffolding for a new player user interface, which should also be dropping this fall.
Improved multitasking on iPad: the list header adjusts according to layout and the player animation maintains the aspect ratio of the episode image.
Higher resolution images and more effective loading and processing.
The mini-player chrome got a gray border at its top edge.
The Queue now indicates which episodes have not been played yet.
Improved performance and effectiveness: using less threads and disabling HTTP pipelining.
Following bugs have been fixed along the way:
List loading displays correct error message when offline, previously this had been incorrectly reported as service unavailable.
In some use cases, during search, the mini-player obscured lists. This has been fixed.
After an episode has been played to its end, Control Center is updated correctly and, played the next time, the episode will resume at the beginning.
Settings.app displays correct version and status.

This version, the first using a new simplified version number, provides more information about Podest in the Settings app, namely version, subscription, and expiration date for free trials. On iPad, episode images are displayed in the correct size. Large titles are refrained. And while it’s springtime round these parts, it’s time for new icon colors.
From now on versions will be counted in whole numbers, eight, nine, 10, etc., with a relative build number, for example, 8 (2) for version eight, build two. Patches are going to be counted after a dot, 8.1, say. Full-on Semantic Versioning didn’t prove itself practical for this app.
Thanks to ABI stability, app size is down to five megabytes. Good job, Swift team.
7.9.7
2018-08-02
Superfluous spaces in episode summaries have been removed.
Messaging in the Queue has been adjusted and its background set to white. For some users, after the initial iCloud sync, an incorrect message had been displayed, that’s fixed now.
The in-app store layout has been reorganized and the store now features app rating and review incentives.
The clipped search list regression is cleared.
