British History Podcast

July 9, 2019

This version of the BHP app has the following changes: - The Forums view has been replaced with a Reddit view. The British History Podcast shut down the forum section of its website and that activity have moved over to Reddit. You can now access that through the BHP app. - Some of the views and how they are displayed have been updated to work better on the new iPhone display sizes introduced since this app was last updated. As part of this and upcoming changes, the background image on the player view has been changed. - There was a bug that caused the Description to be displayed twice. It has been fixed in this version. A note concerning accessing BHP social media through this app - the Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit features of this app are intended to make the BHP social media available in one place, but are not the optimal ways to make use of or participate in those communities. Each of them offer apps and encourages use of those apps. But you can also ignore the "install the app" messages and access them through this app. It is your choice. When you first use the Reddit view, it will prompt to use the app or the browser. In this case, select "browser" to view Reddit in the BHP app.

This new version should correct the problem that has recently been causing the app to crash. There was a change in the info that the podcast feed sends to the app, so the app could not find info it needed and did not handle it gracefully. The changes for this version are: - The app will look for the info that it needs in alternate locations in the podcast feed. - The app will be less likely to crash when it can't find the info it needs.

This update to the BHP app includes the following changes: - It gets the Member only feed from its new location. The old Member only feed has not been function for months and this update will allow you to access it again. - It gets the Main feed from its new location. The old Main feed is still operational, but the service that it is running on is scheduled to be shutdown, so the Main feed is available in a new location, which will become the only location at some point in the future. - Reimplemented the screens to use the current, preferred methods for being displayed. This will allow the app to better deal with different sized iPhones. - The portion of the app that downloads the episode lists has been rewritten to no longer use iOS programming methods that are deprecated.

This version fixes problems found in version 1.1. - When running on iOS 6, across the app, some information was formatted and displayed incorrectly. This was mostly an aesthetic problem, but it also disallowed access to some of the podcasts. The problem has been fixed in this version. - For podcasts that are longer than an hour, the time displayed (the current audio position and the remaining audio time) was formatted incorrectly under some circumstances. The problem has been fixed in this version. - A small change was made to a displayed message in order to clarify where the user should enter the information needed to access the member-only podcasts.
