v1.8.79

Offline / slow server

• Fix - Downloaded books now start playing almost instantly when your server is unreachable, instead of waiting on a doomed network call.
• Fix - App boot is faster when the server is unreachable.
• Fix - CarPlay and Android Auto load with your downloads instantly. Server-fed sections (Continue, New, Library) fill in when the server responds.

iOS

• Fix - Lock screen now shows the downloaded book's cover, including offline.
• Fix - CarPlay shows downloaded book covers in the browse list.
• Fix - CarPlay only shows the Downloads tab when the server is offline (no more swiping past empty Continue / New / Library).
• Fix - CarPlay sometimes came up blank on the first connect; now renders the browse tree reliably.

Other

• Fix - Audible rating now sticks once it loads instead of disappearing on later opens when Audnexus has a hiccup.
• New - Playback history sheet has a "Show more" toggle that reveals sync and session events.
