## What is Bottle Petrol Lamp?

This program is designed to be used with the iPhone screen on a table and a bottle on its torch to simulate an oil or petrol lamp. It also can be used as a torch with stepless variable brightness or as a radio limited to the offered stations and limiting mobile internet.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.0 — 2023-09-11

Devices are connecting to a peer group, indicated by the "power connected" sound. You can choose radio stations synchronously or in "solo" mode for yourself not affecting the group. Every send/receive is confirmed by short sounds tock and tink.

M1/M2 Macs are supported with same limitations as iPads (torch and mobile internet not available).

See https://bottlepetrollamp.wordpress.com/new-features/ for more.

### 1.1 — 2023-09-01

Radio stations can be added or edited in a file, see https://bottlepetrollamp.wordpress.com/new-features/

Layout for iPhone 8, 7, 6s is using smaller wheels to save space for texts.

System Architecture:
Extra task for every view element (as intended by Swift) instead of one each view (there are 2 views). In version 1.0 it did not work stable but now it does. I made some optimizations but I do not exactly what was the root cause because I installed logging but then logging was the main root cause for crashes (when seeking for end of file) - after I switched off in build 7 it was fine.

### 1.0 — 2023-08-19

No release notes.
