pre-release4 months ago

Features:

  • New way to create reports: passive data collection
    • Reports will be created in the background with minimal battery impact when other apps request location updates
    • This can be enabled in the settings
  • The reports screen has been overhauled
    • Scanning is now started from the card at the bottom
    • Number of GPS satellites in use while scanning is shown
  • Report contents can be viewed by opening them from the list
    • This will also show on a map where the geolocation service would locate to with the report data
  • Ability to automatically pause scanning when battery level is below the selected threshold
  • Wi-Fi networks can be excluded from reports based on their SSID
    • Tip: you can get a list of commonly moving Wi-Fis from here
  • Reports can be sent with less metadata
    • Currently this truncates the timestamp to midnight and slightly rounds speed and direction in the location data
  • Configuration option to send reports automatically only on unmetered networks
  • Changing the settings will now apply the changes immediately without having to restart scanning

Fixes:

  • Fixed reports not being created in certain cases when the device returns locations with an invalid timestamp
    • This seemed to mostly happen when the device was not connected to the Internet
  • Fixed UI content being placed behind display cutouts in the landscape mode
  • Optimized map performance

Other:

  • x86 architectures are no longer supported in the fdroid variant and no separate x86 APKs will be available for the full variant
    • NeoStumbler can still be used on x86 devices by installing it either from Accrescent or from the universal APK
  • Updated dependencies
  • Updated translations
