Original release notes

Version 2.7 is the biggest release in Swiss Vario's history and marks the rename from LiveTrack 24. New in this version:

• External BLE vario support: BlueFlyVario, XC Tracer, FlyBeeper mini BT and Stodeus BlueBip / UltraBip — in addition to the existing Naviter Oudie N / Omni support.
• Live OGN traffic overlay with per‑aircraft‑type silhouettes so you can distinguish gliders, paragliders, hang gliders, tow planes, and helicopters at a glance.
• Apple Watch companion app with a full vario gauge, altitude, vertical speed, ground speed and max climb — plus wrist‑based tracker toggle.
• Native Even Realities G2 smart‑glasses HUD — altitude and vario shown directly in your field of view.
• SeeYou / XCTrack task QR scanner — import turnpoints in a single scan.
• Above‑Ground‑Level display driven by bundled SRTM elevation tiles. No network needed.
• All LiveTrack24, Loctome and Skylines live‑tracking endpoints migrated to HTTPS.
• Post‑flight IGC upload (Leonardo, XContest, Highcloud) modernised to iOS's native networking stack.
• Vario gauge now returns to zero when the tracker is stopped.
• Removed the DHV LiveXC tracker option — DHV decommissioned that server at the end of the 2016 season.
