Every year, TransLink of Vancouver, BC sends out a specially decorated bus full of holiday cheer—and this year, it's nine times the fun! This update features a special preset filter to easily track down all nine buses named Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and—of course—Rudolph. You'll also find they stand out on the map. (Filtering requires a Pro subscription)

A few minor things have also changed, including a handful of bug fixes, and a change to the way in-app purchases work. If you notice anything off, use the in-app contact to drop me a note.

Lots more coming soon. Happy holidays! -Kona

Hello, iOS 14! This update is jam packed with new features, new designs, a new region, and new newness. Let's jump in:
• Now available in the San Fransisco Bay Area! Explore all of Pantograph's features for 13 agencies across the bay.
• All-new Missed Trips feature allows easy exploration of what trips get missed each day, with hourly/route breakdowns.
• All-new Timetables tab enables browsing of the full schedule for each route on a given day.
• Support for iOS 14 widgets.
• Statistics view now features a pie chart for an easy glance at overall schedule status.
• Block and trip schedule views have been redesigned to provide details like layover time, trip duration, stop numbers, and more.
• Other views have been redesigned to look nicer, be easier to use, and provide more information.
• New list view option allows browsing the current vehicles in a list, sorted by coach ID or route.
• "Late" coaches are now orange, reserving red for "very late."

These are just the highlights—some minor modifications are sprinkled all through the app, and there's a ton more on the way. This version also begins the migration to SwiftUI—most of the new UI is written in it—which will continue with future releases.

Thanks for using Pantograph, and extra thanks to the Pro subscribers who continue to make this possible!

Thank you to Vancouver, Portland, and Eugene for the warm welcome! This version adds support for Yamhill County Transit in Oregon and fixes a handful of bugs, like the one that sometimes crashed the app when opening the search bar.

Also changed in this build:
– Bug fix: All settings are visible again for all users.
– Bug fix: Filtering by schedule deviation should work again.
– New vehicle icon for lettered routes (e.g. King County Metro RapidRide).

- Support for Vancouver, BC; Portland, OR; and Eugene, OR
- Show vehicle crowding information when available (only on TriMet)
- Show time a vehicle's trip will start if it's reporting on layover
- Adjust some vehicle colors and add colors for CT Swift
- Disable presentation of schedule deviation typicality when unavailable (currently disabled globally due to pandemic interference)
- Display a "flair" for certain coaches with special appearance, such as a Pride Bus or Reindeer Bus
- A number of important bug fixes and performance enhancements (e.g. assignment history filtering should work better now)

Thanks for using Pantograph, and stay safe!
- NEW: Global search: Tap the search icon to search all currently in service vehicles. Pro users also get quick access to certain filters.
- NEW: Grab the separator on route history screens to expand the map showing the route's stops.
- NEW: Pro users can view all vehicles in a series that are currently in service from the series' assignment history screen.
- CHANGED: Presentation of basic information like stop names or directions has been improved, most notably for Pierce Transit and Everett Transit (no more all-caps!).
- CHANGED: Everything is different under the hood now, and you won't notice most of it.

If you haven't already, be sure to check out the website (or tap the notice in the app) to view a summary of missed trips.

- Fixes some layout issues with the bus data card when larger font sizes are enabled.

This release is all about customization, iteration, and searchification. That's not a word, but I wrote it anyway!
- Choose what data gets displayed on bus icons—in addition to the classic route number and coach number, also choose from direction or delay amount.
- See whether a bus is more or less delayed than normal, as well as a system-wide delay "normalness" summary in the Statistics tab. (Requires Pro subscription for individual buses.)
- New Today widget enables at-a-glance view of the system's current performance. Configure with the in-app settings.
- Route filtering has been improved, linking routes to agencies (meaning if you choose route XX, you're choosing a specific agency's route XX, not everything with that number).
- Route selector screens (including in filtering) and vehicle selectors now have search bars, enabling faster selection.
- Settings have been pulled out into their own tab, leaving filtering as its own menu in the original spot. The icon now indicates filter state, and you can tap and hold it to reset the active filter.
- Choose your preferred app-wide color scheme.
- Usual rounds of minor adjustments, bug fixes, etc..
- Thanks for using Pantograph...and reading all these release notes! Tap and hold in the upper left corner of the map on the icon customization screen for a fun time.

The very last update of the decade is a modest one, focused on a few minor bug fixes. This includes a rare issue where a vehicle icon would appear as the wrong agency's color, support for URLs from the updated web version, and a few under-the-hood adjustments in preparation for things to come.

Thanks for using Pantograph! As always, feel free to reach out with any questions or comments. -Kona
