🎉 We are thrilled to share the latest updates in our v0.16.5 release. This marks the 100th version of the app after resolving over 540 project-specific issues (not including business, website, branding, and marketing issues)! These enhancements are designed to improve your experience with the app. Here's what's new:
📸 Web App Event Image Preview Shows Event Flyer
Why it matters: Visual previews make events more appealing and easier to recognize and engage with. Unfortunately, we had to revert this change, so it will be re-released in a future version.
🖼️ Updated URL Default Preview Image
Why it matters: Keeps the app looking fresh and professional, enhancing visual appeal and user experience. Previously, when urls are shared via text, there was no preview image that was rendered or shown. Now, we populate a default image that convey a feeling of connectedness and happiness that contribute to the brand we want associated with our app. In the future, we want to add the ability to display a preview of the event flyer for even more personalization.
✉️ Updated Share Message to focus less about CaughtUp
Why it matters: Ensures more personal and relevant messaging for users. Previously, we had a longer mention about caughtup being a free app, we've simplified to just share why caughtup exists and the details of the user event being shared via URL.
🔧 Updated App Badge Package Used
Why it matters: Keeps app components up-to-date, improving reliability and performance.
🔐 Updated Google Sign-In for Web with GIS
Why it matters: Ensures secure and seamless sign-in. Read More Here. This update provides a smooth and reliable authentication process.
🔒 Persist Authentication Locally for Web Application
Why it matters: Maintains user login status, offering convenient and uninterrupted access.
☁️ Updated to Get Latest Events from Cloud if Scheduler View
Why it matters: Ensures users see the most current events, providing up-to-date event information at all times.
📤 Display Confirmation to Share Event with Chat Members Fixed
Why it matters: This confirmation allows users to easily share newly created events with chat members. The previous versions of the app had a bug preventing this popup from displaying after a user creates an event in the scheduler. Since this popup did not appear after creating an event in the scheduler. So, the event had to then be manually shared with the other user.
📅 Fixed Scheduler Not Showing Chat Member Events Initially
Why it matters: Ensures all relevant events are visible. In previous versions, there was a logical bug preventing the app from getting the latest events from the cloud therefore users would only see stale data of events locally stored.
These updates make the app more intuitive, reliable, and user-friendly. Enjoy the enhanced experience! 🎉
