Original release notes

Fixes and finishing touches for the Winter Weekend.

Your tickets – Tickets for an event that was renamed after you bought them now sync correctly to the app. If a ticket can't be matched to an event, your account screen says how many, and the count on the ticket fetch screen now counts this festival's tickets only.

Signing in – If you ask for more than one sign-in email, any of them works for its 15 minutes, not just the newest. If we can't send your email just now, the app tells you, rather than leaving you waiting.

The Map – Tap a car park's P for its details, prices and directions. The map glides to a stop when you let go, and zooms out a little further, so places at the edge aren't stuck in the corner.

The Programme – Sold out and Last few let more of the event's picture show through.

The first open – The programme's download progress shows if your connection is a little slow.

Plus other small fixes.
