New
- Public Alerting tab: under Tagging, see which tags are kept off the public feed and why. Each suppressed tag has a species picker, so it can be corrected where it appears.
- Per-animal overrides: set public alerting for a single animal, from the new Overrides view or from Tagged Sharks. Choose to follow the species decision, or force alerts on or off. A reason is required.
- Approved species only: public alerts now go out only for approved species, such as White, Tiger and Bull sharks. Detections of other species are held back.
Improved
- App stats: downloads are shown separately from updates, store ratings are included, each store's last sync is visible, and misleading period comparisons are hidden.
- Staying signed in: staying active keeps you signed in to the admin, rather than signing you out after seven days. A temporary server error no longer signs you out.
- Uploads: iPhone photos (HEIC) can now be uploaded, and uploads show speed and time remaining.
Fixed
- A newly deployed tag no longer alerts on every detection until the daily sync picks it up, and a tag recorded twice resolves to its most recent record, so its species stays the same from one detection to the next.
- Uploads to a workspace that already holds media no longer fail with an error.
