What's New in DirtSync
1.5.0
July 29, 2026
New features (feature-parity catch-up with Android): Waypoint typing — 11 waypoint types (photo, bypass, cell service, dead end, finish, hazard, HQ, last fuel, SUV, SxS, truck) plus 7 trail types and a 0–10 difficulty rating, with a proper picker UI replacing the old text-prompt flow Trip stats screen — distance/duration/avg speed for a ride, using the same Haversine calculation Android uses Photo waypoints — capture a photo when dropping a "photo" waypoint, uploads to Firebase Storage; full-screen photo viewer with save-to-library Ride groups — save named rider groups locally and quick-start a session with that group prefilled Vehicle gateway / RaceDash / Switch Panel — discovers a Pi-based vehicle gateway over the mesh (mDNS), shows a live telemetry bar (speed, RPM, gear, temp, battery, throttle/brake, fault count), and a Switch Panel screen to toggle vehicle relays (light bar, amber lights, rock lights, etc.) — mirrors what Android already had Bug fixes: Fixed a regression (introduced earlier in this same build cycle) where the new gateway mDNS discovery was silently stopping mesh/PTT peer discovery Fixed a pre-existing bug (present even in 1.4.5/58): Android→iOS push-to-talk audio was being silently dropped due to a clock-skew-sensitive staleness check that only existed on iOS's receive path — removed, since the existing duplicate-frame sequence check already covers what it was meant to protect against Other: Added camera/photo-library permissions and _dsrace._tcp Bonjour service declaration needed for the gateway/photo features
