Photo Club Hub

STABILITY IMPROVEMENTS • This release is mainly about improved stability during background data loading. • One-time 'forced' reload of in-app database content. This removes any potentially outdated data records. • In-memory state is committed to disk less often te ensure user interface consistency (transactions). • iOS Settings now has toggles about stress testing that are used in developing the app. • New compliance to Swift 6 guidelines for preventing concurrency issues (strict data-race checking). PORTFOLIOS SCREEN • Swiping down the top of screens with lists will clear (new) and reload the app's locally saved data. iOS SETTINGS • The iOS Settings app now shows version info as well as some additional information about the app. PRELUDE SCREEN • Changed the large software-generated logo for a better match to the app's icon (red/blue swap). • App icon itself slightly updated and prepared for iOS's dark and tinted modes (WWDC24). DOCUMENTATION • Improved documentation for achieving Level 1 club support. See the README file on GitHub. • Removed documentation section on Privacy and encryption. It is no longer relevant. APP STORE • Fixed app name on Dutch App Store. MAINTENANCE • Tested on MacOS 14,5, and latest available versions of Swift, Xcode, iOS and Vision Pro. • Data encryption and any sensitive data (like member e-mail addresses) are now removed.

WHO'S WHO SCREEN • Vertical scrolling stops at boundaries between photographers (instead of at arbitrary location; iOS 17 feature). • Horizontal scroll indicator is shown on iPhone when a photographers is/was associated with multiple clubs.

PORTFOLIO SCREEN • Fixed: the portfolios hosted on www.fotogroepwaalre.nl were no longer accessible. This broke all previous app version. • Changed the icon shown while loading an image. It's a tortoise image generated using generative AI. WHO'S WHO SCREEN • Added iOS 17's vertical "smart scrolling": scrolling stops aligned on item boundaries. • Captions are now shown below each image. Previously the text was superimposed on the image. MAINTENANCE • Fixed: developers couldn't directly build GitHub source code (because placeholder file `FGWPrivateMemberURL2.txt` was missing). • Fixed: Deletion of portfolios, clubs, museums, and photographers has been improved. Deletion is harmless: any missing data is reloaded on launch.

CLUBS AND MUSEUMS SCREEN • Added new Search bar at top of screen. It searches on club names, museum names and towns. • Shows item count at top of screen (to clarify filtering done by search bar). WHO'S WHO SCREEN • Fixed a layout bug (when photographer has a website and multiple portfolios). • Increased hor spacing between multiple portfolios. • Shows item count (in the same way as Clubs and Museums screen). README SCREEN • Added explanation of search bars (as they can be easily overlooked). DOCUMENTATION (extended README on GitHub) • New/more screenshots. • Improved collapsing/expanding of detailed documentation sections. • Improved documentation of JSON file formats for clubs at Levels 1 and 2.

That corresponding remark will be shown in German if your device is set to German.

There are, for example, currently three in New York City. • Museums are shown on maps using a special marker pin. • Clubs are shown at top of list, followed by Museums.. • Renamed screen from `Photo Clubs` to `Clubs and Musea`. • Removed the footnote about pull-to-refresh. • Top of screen shows how many clubs and museums are shown on the list (e.g. "72 items shown"). • A 140-character remark can be at the bottom of each map.

It is also not shown for clubs without member data. • A photo museum can have an optional link to Wikipedia (link shown as Wikipedia's "W" logo). PORTFOLIOS SCREEN • Name of towns are now shown in the appropriate language. For most towns, there is no translation. • Set a maximum font size for footers (in case the user is using large font). • Removed the three dummy photo clubs.

MAINTENANCE • Tested with with latest versions of iOS, MacOS, GitCrypt, and Xcode. • Updated data model diagram in GitHub README.md file. • Renamed PhotoClub table to Organization table (to support photo museums). There is a new OrganizationType table too. • Converted SwiftyJSON from package to file as packages were giving trouble (why?). • Additional photo clubs (and museums) are loaded from a data file (named OrganizationList.json and hosted on GitHub). • An organization's country is automatically determined using its coordinates. This also localizes the country name: "France" vs "Frankrijk". • Town names may also be shown translated, but most towns don't get translated: "The Hague" vs "Den Haag". • Removed support for Dutch Chamber of Commerce ('kvk') number. • Refreshed screenshots used on App Store.
