2.5.2

February 16, 2018

New in v2.5.2: We sped things up! Also includes the goodies from v2.5.0: iPhone X support! Wifi problem reporting! Favoriting buildings! An alternate icon option! Hiding home screen icons! All that, and more, in version 2-5-0! :clap: We'd like to congratulate Hannes Carlsen on his first contribution to All About Olaf! :clap: # WIFI REPORTING # This is big. IT reached out to us and asked if we could add a way for people to report WiFi problems that they were having. So we did! This is the first time we've used your location in the app – we record your current location when you push the button and what device you're using, then we send it to a server that IT maintains. They're planning to look closely at where people are having issues, and this should give them much more clarity in that work. # NEW # - iPhone X support! - A calendar of the upcoming KSTO shows, powered by KSTO themselves! - A button to "call in" to KSTO! (You'll need a phone to make the call.) - KRLX streaming support! (The Carleton radio station.) - The ability to "favorite" buildings! (As requested by a student, and built by Hannes!) - A new icon choice! Check out the Settings page to switch icons! - Toggle switches to hide any number of icons from the home screen! - A button to report a wifi problem! - A button to open TES! # FIXES & CHANGES # - Internal updates, ofc - Made the Bus view go faster - Made the Menu views more resilient, with a "try again" button if they fail - Made improvements to the KSTO player - Added placeholder images to the News story lists - Made the News stories open in a web browser - Cleaned up the SIS login block in Settings - Optimized the Building Hours images - Added a prompt for when you've uninstalled Mail.app and the app can't send email, but you've asked it to - Restyled all the text-heavy views in the app, like Privacy and Credits - Redesigned the home screen colors for the first time ever # REMOVALS # - Removed the custom stylesheet on the News articles – now we just open the website directly - We no longer support iOS 8

2.4.1

October 20, 2017

Hey Oles! We're proud to announce version 2.4.1, bringing working SIS balances back among many other things! # FIXES # • SIS balances work again! We also added additional meal plan information. You should still trust Stav's staff more, but we're getting better at things! • A bunch of building hours and bus schedules got corrected! Most of these are already up-to-date in version 2.4.0—we only changed some stuff behind the scenes. # UPDATES # • Lots of improvements under the hood!
More

2.4.0

October 4, 2017

Hi Oles! Wow, it's been a while. First, we haven't fixed the SIS balances yet – we're working together with the college to make sure it's correct before we fix it once and for all. # NEW FEATURES # • A full-size iPad app! (It's really just the iPhone one, stretched out, but it's a lot nicer.) • A Building Hours editor! If you see some hours that are wrong, let us know! • A calendar detail view! And, sharing events from the calendar! And, adding events from the calendar to your phone! • KSTO Radio??? We think? If it doesn't work when KSTO starts playing again, we'll fix it. • A Streaming Events list! • A list of student work positions! • A Moodle button! # BUG FIXES # • Webcams work again! • Bus schedules are correct again! We've also made it so we can update them separately, so they won't be so old for so long anymore. # CHANGED # • Redesigned the Important Contacts page! • Redesigned the Transportation "Other Modes" page!

2.1.1

January 29, 2017

Turns out that v2.1.0 had a problem with BonApp's "Humane" dietary filter; we had a talk with the app and came to an understanding about "humane" meat products. We also talked about not crashing when you see something you don't expect, so when BonApp rolls out another new dietary type we should be able to handle that! We also added menus for Carleton's campus – go see the other side of the river! Your Ole Card will let you in, and it just uses your meal plan. (It won't let you in their doors, though.) In v2.1.0, we brought you: == New Features == We can't wait to show you what we've been up to! • You can reorder the home screen now! • Check out the Northfield events calendar! • Discover new student orgs to join! • Meals Remaining in SIS is back! • Hours redesign! More buildings! More hours! • Menus redesign! Better menus! Faster loading! • There's a new FAQs section in Settings! Check it out. • The Pause Events calendar is now included! == Bug Fixes == • We've eradicated the pesky lists that liked to end behind the tab bars. • Contacts will no longer vanish at inopportune moments. • SIS probably still has bugs. We fixed some, though. • News will not scroll sideways when the article includes a video. • Oh, and we made News load again, too. • Oleville will properly display images now. • The bus schedules no longer report incorrect times between loops. • We fixed a few tricky DST and timezone issues. == Miscellaneous == • The app is significantly smaller (from ~17 MB down to ~5 MB!). • We tweaked the app icon to include a white background (on iOS), so that the app stands out a bit more. • The Calendar now includes "Ongoing" and "Today" headings. • Hours gained information for a bunch of popular spots around campus (and additional hours for some existing buildings!) If we don't have a building or office that you want to know hours for, let us know and we'll add it! • Menus can be filtered now! Only want to see the Deli station? You can do that! Only care about gluten-free vegan selections? Turn that filter on! Let us know what you think. • We added a list of all the student organizations on campus! St. Olaf is transitioning to a new service called "Check I'm Here", and they provide a nice list of student orgs. We even highlight the "new" orgs, in case you're hip and want to join them before anyone else. • The SIS view … well, we fixed some bugs, and probably made some new ones too. It still can't keep you logged in for more than ~15 minutes, though. We're working on it.

Reviews of All About Olaf

  • Great app, but…

    On my iPhone 12 mini the buttons at the bottom of the menu screen are squished into the corners and the settings and edit buttons are hard to press as they are underneath the time and WiFi/battery icons at the top of the screen.
  • Updates

    Please update the building hours post-quarantine
  • SIS & Transportation Issues

    SIS is not working, and the transportation information is just wrong in general. I still had to go to the St. Olaf website to get the correct information I needed. Needs improvements and updates, but I still have hope that the app will be the best thing ever.

    Developer Response

    We're sorry to hear you're having issues with SIS & Transportation. We're wrapping up our latest changes and you should see an update within the next two weeks. SIS will be down in the app until we can verify that it is returning the correct information. Thank you for your feedback!
