Big update for the start of Summer.
As more and more albergues are adopting rest days of their own, I have improved the notice that appears.  It will now warn you if the albergue is closed today or tomorrow.

Last Winter update.
Minor changes to content, only a few albergues have changed critical information.
Minor bug fixes: outgoing url links have been fixed, and the "WhatsApp Helper" works again!

The first major update of the year, this version includes updated pricing and opening seasons.

Under the hood are several performance changes, with a thorough rewrite of the code to make sure that all devices are working properly.

AND it introduces a new feature which allows pilgrims to inform 'El Sabio, the Wise Pilgrim Bot' about the status of albergues, so you can help your fellow pilgrims to know what albergues are full.

Big update in anticipation of the upcoming year.
Commenting fixed, thank you everyone for submitting bug reports, it was invaluable to getting this fixed.

Updated content, minor bug fixes, and other bits and nuggets of goodness.

In this update, the last major one of the season, I have improved the way to navigate between adjacent towns along the way.

I have also fixed some map-related bugs, thanks to all of you who have written to help me diagnose them.

Major bug fix.

Minor bug fixes, including a few albergues which did not appear on the map view.

This update does two things at the same time.
It introduces the ability to send updates 'Over the air' meaning that if there is a change in telephone number, or price, or opening hours of your accommodation I can get them to you faster.  The is important at the moment since the hiking season is beginning and many albergues are making last minute changes.
New routes will still be delivered via app store updates.
-and-
It eliminates a minor bug that annoyed me greatly.

Everything else remains as awesome as always.

New feature shows whether an albergue is CURRENTLY open, closed, or about to open/close. Handy for pilgrims walking in the shoulder season and winter.

Updated content.
Bug fixes here and there.

This release introduces a dark mode for lights out albergue users.  And it greatly cleans up the UX to make more content more visible.
There are a few new photos from a recent camino, and minor changes to prices and availability.

Thank you everyone for all of the comments you leave within the app!

Content Update:  Updated opened/closed, as well as prices. Including two municipal albergue that recently reopened.

Feature: Introducing the WhatsApp Message Maker:  A simple tool to help you initiate a conversation with the albergue or hotel owner to check for availability and request a reservation.  It automatically translates what you need into a short request, and from their you can finish the deal directly with the property owner.
Usability: Improved the way that maps are rendered, with new buttons to switch between types and another to turn off the labels.

2021 SPRING UPDATE

I have undone some of the changes made during last Spring's update. Rather than maintain an evershifting list of openings and closings, I have included all accommodation that have not been confirmed as permanently closed. There are some new albergues, and several more have changed ownership.

Also, minor bug fixes. The initial distances are now calculated correctly, with León set as the starting point.  Remember to set your new starting point every morning!
