Vespucci 14.1 and 15.0 outlook

Posted by SimonPoole on 30 April 2020 in English.

Seems as if I never wrote a diary entry on 14.1 that has been available for a couple of months now. The release notes can be found as always on the Vespucci documentation site.

Obviously version 15 is quite far along at this point and major parts of the work have already been completed. In particular the migration to the AndroidX libraries and re-targeting for Android API 29 have been finished and, as a consequence, support for Android versions before 4.0 has now been completely dropped.

I’m not planning on adding major new functionality in this release, after major internal changes a shake-down period tends to be required due to device specific issues that are only exposed when the app gets actual use. Changing too much just compounds that. There are however a number of small changes (for example indicating the number of pending changes for upload on the main menu bar) and performance improvements, that will make the user experience more pleasant.

Work on the release can be followed in the Vespucci github repository.
