Good news folks! I've been in email contact with Zoltan and the guys are still working on things. Zoltan let me know a number of things and had this to say:
Our new app developer is doing great progress, the Android app is being finished up for the next release and all changes have been ported to the iOS version.
The firmware has also been updated with the necessary changes for the app and also an updated network stack in preparation for adding IPv6 in the n+1 release.
The guys have also had issues with the PDF library. They tried to get rid of the long delay in creating PDFs by migrating to the built-in Android library but then discovered that there was an issue with it not compressing any photos that were inserted so had to migrate back to the original library, otherwise the PDF files would have been huge.
Zoltan enquired as to whether we'd like to have a new beta version as it stands at the moment - on behalf of the community I told him that we'd love one. Hopefully he'll be able to sort that out and we can then test the new features - there are a lot of changes since v29. Would anyone else like a new beta version?
