Bus Panda

• Updated MetService integration • Add WeatherWatch NZ (Wellington) as a new weather provider • Overdue replacement of DarkSky with AccuWeather (global) as a new weather provider

• Updates to content blocker to prevent "black screen" problem with weather • Now runs on Macs via Mac Catalyst, just in case you might find it useful to run it there

Updated to keep up with another set of changes in the way that Metlink bus information is published.

Updated to account for changes in the way MetLink provide real-time information. If saw some stops showing departures that were not properly sorted by departure time, or showing very strange looking times, then this update should fix that.

Bus Panda self-isolated for a bit, but now it's all rested, tested and ready to go with fixes for the intermittent loading problems that sprung up over the last few months, a fix for the intermittent horizontal scrolling problem in the weather view and a new lime green dark mode colour scheme. Have fun!

The weather provider MetService had a beta web site which has now gone live, replacing their old public site. Bus Panda's 'MetService Beta' weather provider setting has therefore been removed and if you'd chosen that, you'll be migrated over to the main MetService setting instead. Display rules have been updated to "optimise the experience" of the new site when viewed within Bus Panda.

• Supports iOS 13, including Dark Mode. • Small improvements to layout on a few screens. • New weather providers - MetService Beta and Windfinder. Choose via the iOS Settings app - scroll down to Bus Panda.

Minor update to be ready for iOS 11. Has a few minor interface fixes and may run a little smoother on Apple Watch too.

Lots of new things in 1.5, including Apple Watch support! • New automatic shortening of long descriptions to help legibility, especially on iPhones. You can turn this off using the iPhone Settings application - scroll down to Bus Panda from the main Settings screen. • Swipe left on a Favourites list item for some new options: • – "Prefer" lets you indicate a frequently-used stop. For those of you with lots of saved bus stops, you probably only use a few very often. You can make these Preferred and they'll appear in a special section at the top of the list. • – "More" lets you edit the description of a bus stop to something you find more recognisable. • A new "Nearby Stops" map view make it really easy to find a stop near you. On Apple Watch: • You'll just your Preferred bus stops if there are any, else you see all favourites. • Tap through to see the most recent upcoming ten departures. • The application features a Glance, which asks your iPhone for stops within a 500m radius of your position. It searches this for one of your Preferred stops, expands that search to all favourites, or just shows you the nearest one if all else fails. It then displays the most recent upcoming four departures at that location.

This version improves the map view: * Shows your current location, to make it easier to find stops near you quickly * Faster display of bus stop locations
