New in v2.5.2: We sped things up!
Also includes the goodies from v2.5.1:
iPhone X support! Wifi problem reporting! Favoriting buildings! An alternate icon option! Hiding home screen icons! All that, and more, in version 2-5-0!
👏👏👏 We'd like to congratulate Hannes Carlsen on his first contribution to All About Olaf! 👏👏👏
# WIFI REPORTING #
This is big. IT reached out to us and asked if we could add a way for people to report WiFi problems that they were having.
So we did! This is the first time we've used your location in the app – we record your current location when you push the button and what device you're using, then we send it to a server that IT maintains. They're planning to look closely at where people are having issues, and this should give them much more clarity in that work.
# NEW #
- iPhone X support!
- A calendar of the upcoming KSTO shows, powered by KSTO themselves!
- A button to "call in" to KSTO! (You'll need a phone to make the call.)
- KRLX streaming support! (The Carleton radio station.)
- The ability to "favorite" buildings! (As requested by a student, and built by Hannes!)
- A new icon choice! Check out the Settings page to switch icons!
- Toggle switches to hide any number of icons from the home screen!
- A button to report a wifi problem!
- A button to open TES!
# FIXES & CHANGES #
- Internal updates, ofc
- Made the Bus view go faster
- Made the Menu views more resilient, with a "try again" button if they fail
- Made improvements to the KSTO player, added a button on Android to open the stream
- Added placeholder images to the News story lists
- Made the News stories open in a web browser
- Cleaned up the SIS login block in Settings
- Optimized the Building Hours images
- Added a prompt for when you've uninstalled Mail.app and the app can't send email, but you've asked it to
- Restyled all the text-heavy views in the app, like Privacy and Credits
- Redesigned the home screen colors for the first time ever
# REMOVALS #
- Removed the custom stylesheet on the News articles – now we just open the website directly
- We no longer support iOS 8

# FIXES #
• SIS balances work again! We also added additional meal plan information. You should still trust Stav's staff more, but we're getting better at things!
• A bunch of building hours and bus schedules got corrected! Most of these are already up-to-date in version 2.4.0—we only changed some stuff behind the scenes.
# UPDATES #
• Lots of improvements under the hood!Hi Oles! Wow, it's been a while. First, we haven't fixed the SIS balances yet – we're working together with the college to make sure it's correct before we fix it once and for all.
# NEW FEATURES #
• A full-size iPad app! (It's really just the iPhone one, stretched out, but it's a lot nicer.)
• A Building Hours editor! If you see some hours that are wrong, let us know!
• A calendar detail view! And, sharing events from the calendar! And, adding events from the calendar to your phone!
• KSTO Radio??? We think? If it doesn't work when KSTO starts playing again, we'll fix it.
• A Streaming Events list!
• A list of student work positions!
• A Moodle button!
# BUG FIXES #
• Webcams work again!
• Bus schedules are correct again! We've also made it so we can update them separately, so they won't be so old for so long anymore.
# CHANGED #
• Redesigned the Important Contacts page!
• Redesigned the Transportation "Other Modes" page!up to date as of 9204d41f7420e0907294ae85f3313f84c5fe16a0:
