• iGate/digipeater status is now shown in the station information view. • In the "more" menu of the station information view, new menu items have been added to open "Stations heard" and "Stations which heard this" tables, for the current month and previous 6 months, like on the web site. Tap an entry to reveal the raw packet for the longest distance between those two stations during the month, and tap the packet again to decode it. • It's now possible to tap a raw packet in the TNC view to decode the packet and show the decoded fields. • Fixed time range handling when tracking specific stations which didn't send a position recently. Do show them on the map! • Translation updates, thank you to everyone who helped! • Some additional under-the-hood improvements.
