NEW FUNCTIONALITY
• New hi-resolution graphics on Then and Chart for Retina devices.
• Chart has been rewritten under the covers, and is now more efficient and responsive. Best of all, you can now switch between Bar and Pie chart views.
• Chart now offers a popup inspector that gives detailed timing and percentage information for whatever task is under your finger - no more guessing from looking at the y-axis.
• Chart has a new annual view in addition to day, week and month.
• More control over the output of CSV files - character encoding, linefeed character, and column delimiter can now be set in-app, rather than in your spreadsheet.
• Bar chart labels - duration can now be displayed on the top of the bars on screen and/or in the shared images.
• New flattened app icon, to better fit in with the iOS 7 aesthetic.

BUGS FIXED
• Using the ‘stop’ and ‘start’ buttons on Now, on a device that was not fully synced over iCloud could result in the unsynced events being overwritten, and this error then propagated around all synced devices. This is now corrected - a ‘stop’ gets applied to whatever event is actually running from iCloud’s point of view, not from the point of view of a device that wasn’t in full possession of all the facts at the time.
• Then disappearing and leaving nothing but a grey background.
• Many more minor fixes that improve general stability and usability.

• An updated, cleaner design to better suit iOS 7.
• Task colours now reflected on the buttons on Now.
• Stability enhancements and bug fixes.

• Fixes an issue for devices hanging indefinitely when attempting to connect to iCloud and set up an initial data store.
• Also fixes an issue with an erroneous status message informing the user they need to log into iCloud, when the status just isn't known yet.

Fixes a crash afflicting users who do not require iCloud sync.

This update focuses primarily on bringing iCloud sync to Now Then. Hurrah! You can now sync your data across all your iOS devices! This brings the convenience of on the go data entry on iPhone, with analysis back at your desk on an iPad using the larger screen.

NOTE: Please join iCloud on the device that contains your primary data FIRST, before attempting to get any other devices to sync with iCloud.
• Now Then takes the data from the first device to sync and copies it to iCloud.
• iCloud then becomes the master data repository going forward.
• All devices that join iCloud thereafter have their data REPLACED by the data in iCloud.
• There is no merging of data from different devices (sorry, that is a whole other can of worms!)
• iCloud is entirely optional - if you don't need it, everything will work as it always did before.

For anyone who updates and wonders where all the changes are, they are major, they're almost all under the hood, and are primarily related to supporting iCloud sync.

As part of this work we discovered and fixed a number of long-standing bugs.

In an effort to get rid of EVERY bug and ensure Now Then is as rock solid as possible, we've integrated crash reporting within the app. This makes it now an easy two tap process for getting this information to us - and is priceless in tracking bugs down. You'll get a prompt after a crash asking if you'd like to email the report to us.  Please consider doing this for each and every crash. This way we'll know exactly where the problems are, and just how frequently users are having to deal with them.

As always, if you see something that just doesn't look quite right, drop us a line. The FAQ on our website answers the most common queries.

We're now working our way through a (now huge) list of updates and usability improvements.

We're currently working on bringing iCloud sync to Now Then, but that's not ready for primetime yet, and we have a few fixes that are far too important to be kept waiting for that:

• Fixed a crash for iPad users - when editing a task in Now, if Settings was the active tab in the background, Now Then would crash.
• Fixed date pickers for iPad users running iOS 6 - the date format used by these pickers was not using user's local preferred format as it should.
• Fixed Chart not redrawing to take account of a currently running event.  Chart is now 'live' and any bar that represents a currently running event will automatically update as that event runs.
• Fixed date pickers settling on a greyed out, out of range date or time. These are supposed to spin back to a valid value whenever they settle on an invalid one - on iOS 6.1 this was no longer happening reliably all the time.
• Fix for Chart 'Hide bars near zero' sometimes failing to hide entries too small to warrant displaying a bar.

Now Then is much more configurable than before. We've added a Settings tab that gives you much more control over behaviour than before, and we've made major changes under the hood to provide a more solid foundation going forward.

This is only the start of what we have planned for Now Then, there's much more to come.  We intend on releasing smaller feature updates more often.  So keep your eyes peeled!

Change Highlights:
• Customisation of look and feel.
• Set the 'hours to view' default zoom scale that best suits you.
• Highlighting of your normal days and hours.
• More control over the format of shared images.
• Better state preservation - remembers which tab you were last on, what filters you had set etc., after relaunch
• In app links to support resources to make it easier to get in touch.
• Improved handling of daylight saving transition days.
• Performance improvements (especially noticeable on retina devices).
• Much reduced memory consumption - plays nicer with other apps on your device.
• More robust Share CSV data file format for dealing with international date and number formatting.
• And a selection of minor bug fixes.

Updates to support iOS 6.0 and iPhone 5, and general stability enhancements. Bug with automatic task colouring fixed - Now Then no longer assigns colours already assigned to other tasks (as long as there are still unused colours to choose from).

We're working on improving the configurability of Now Then. Look out for further, and more regular updates starting to appear over the next few weeks.

Fix for spreadsheet readable CSV data, shared via the Then screen - the currently running event was repeated for each day until the end of the week or month being shared.
