Original release notes

Barebow, longbow and traditional archers — this one's for you.

Tuning recommendations now match your bow instead of assuming a compound, so you'll no longer be pointed at cam timing on a bow with no cams. Balance point calculates properly for a recurve riser. Spine values for wood and lower-poundage shafts are accepted, and a correct traditional FOC is no longer flagged as a problem. Riser and limb weights save without being rejected, and sight setup is no longer required to get started.

Scoring is more dependable. Stopping or pausing a round keeps every end you have already scored, resuming returns you to the right end, and deleting a session from a filtered list removes the one you actually picked.

Sessions behave. Every screen offers a way out that works, sessions started from the Calendar survive a swipe to dismiss, tinkering filters return your sessions, and finishing a session completes however you dismiss the alert.

Plus 114 fixes in total across scoring, gear, sync and navigation.
