Well, I was hoping AppStore would had reviewed 1.3.1 while making 1.3.2, but they did not. Once you submit to AppStore thats the version it expects, so 1.3.2 is now 1.3.1! More details here.

Fix to reduce backup time in iTunes. Release notes are here.

Got a larger slice of server in order to have room for growth. Server was down for just a couple of minutes.

In this case this would have a lot easier to get this right in the first place than trying to move files from backed up directory on iPhone to a non backed up directory seamlessly. Process takes almost as long as downloading did in the first place.

Also preparing to disconnect chart updates from AppStore version bumps.
AF/D and TPP is slowly making it – lots of issues with memory leaks when displaying PDF’s so will go ahead and convert to jpg on server and use those instead.

So getting closer – have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out whats eating memory… Also trying to make sql queries fast. Unfortunately seems like loading the entire table takes a while. But its coming! Maybe in the next couple of days ?

AppStore rejected SkyCharts since it didn’t test for connectivity before trying to download (you just get a messaged downloads failed). So need to add the reachability delegate now instead of later (was planned for 1.7).

Got the fixes in – decided to keep version number as 1.3.

See updated release schedule here.

So it will probably show up as an update in a couple of days ?

1.3 should be significantly faster on loading – like twice as fast!

The load times are now:
WiFi: 5 minutes
3G: 9 minutes
Edge: 32 minutes

Again – the problem is not really the amount of data, its the number of files/tiles that are in use – about 2000 per chart..

Release notes are here.
