Original release notes
• Save Image: on iPhone and iPad, the share sheet can now save the picture to Photos, with the map's name, colour bar and credits. CMB Maps asks only to add to your photo library; it cannot see your photos. • On a Mac, Share now opens its menu at once instead of after about four seconds. • Differentiate Without Colour: if the setting is on when CMB Maps first opens, the map now starts in Cividis, a colour-blind-safe palette, with Contour on. A map you have already set up opens as you left it; Cividis is under Colours and Contour under On the map, in the panel. • Learn pages no longer turn Contour off: if you have it on, it stays on. • Credits & licences: the Planck 2018 TT power spectrum entry now makes clear that it is the best-fit curve, not the measured points, that is drawn through fewer points.
