Owntracks has just released the beta version of their Android app.
Are there release notes somewhere that could describe what new features we’re rejoicing over?
heres the beta link for anyone interested:
I haven’t seen a new features list. It looks basically the same. I’m assuming the rejoicing is because the android app was supposedly no longer in development.
Thanks for your interest. This is an early beta release, hence there’s no changelog yet. Also, there are quite some issues that need to be fixed so use it with caution.
Much of the code has been rewritten with regards to new Android background execution limits on Android 5.x and higher. It might look mostly the same but it will behave a bit different. Many changes restrict the functionality but we tried to retain as many of things as possible with the new OS restrictions.
Thanks for the info, binarybucks!
I haven’t encountered any issues so far. I understand things are a bit different under the hood, but so far, it seems to be behaving just like it always has.
