## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-17

• Trips where the drop-off changes mid-ride now bill using the actual
  road distance, matching what Google Maps shows for the route —
  fixes previous under-billing on real routes.
• New chat icon on the "Going to pickup" screen and next to
  "Arrived at pickup", so you can message the customer at every
  stage of the trip before OTP verification.
• Distance, price, and drop-off address update instantly on your
  screen when the customer changes the drop-off during a ride — no
  app restart needed.
• Distance / Time indicator refreshes immediately on mid-ride
  changes.
• Fixed a chat-screen layout issue on the bottom text-field.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-07

Pickup waiting
• Redesigned the "Arrived at pickup" button — now styled as the primary action with a clear loading indicator
• Circular countdown timer during the free grace period, mirroring the rider's screen so you both see the same thing

Fare breakdown
• Senior discount now applies to the full fare (including add-ons and pickup waiting)
• Subtotal row is hidden when there's no discount — cleaner earnings screen
• Row labels updated to match the fare breakdown terminology consistently

Street ride
• Same-country check on pickup and drop before generating a fare estimate — prevents cross-country bookings from being created by mistake

Search & performance
• Address search is noticeably faster
• Reduced data usage during rides

Bug fixes
• Small polish and stability improvements

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-06

Street Ride — pick up walk-in passengers directly from the app
Drivers can now start a ride manually for street pickups without the passenger booking through the app.

Choose the customer type: Existing Customer, Guest Customer, or Anonymous Customer
Search registered customers by name or number to add them instantly
Add walk-in passengers with just a name and phone number
Set the drop location on the map or search for it
Review fare, distance, and time before starting the ride
Confirm and start the ride in a single tap — no OTP required
Live countdown for incoming ride requests
Every new request card now shows a smooth animated countdown bar so you can see exactly how much time is left to accept before the request expires. Each request has its own timer, so multiple requests stay independent.

Recent Locations while setting a street-ride destination
Previously used drop-off addresses are now saved and offered as quick suggestions on the map's location sheet.

"Street Ride" label on ride details
Rides created from your side now display as "Street Ride" in the ride details, so they're easy to distinguish from customer-booked rides.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-07-23

• Fare breakdown redesigned across Ride Details, Collect Cash, and 
  Earnings Invoice. Sub-total, discount, and add-on charges now 
  appear as separate line items before the grand total.
• Additional performance and stability improvements.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-22

New features:
• Add-on services are now visible on the ride request card. Drivers 
  can see the extras requested by the rider (child seat, luggage, 
  pet-friendly, phone charger, etc.) before accepting the ride.

Improvements:
• Fare breakdown redesigned across Ride Details, Collect Cash, and 
  Earnings Invoice. Sub-total, discount, and add-on charges now 
  appear as separate line items before the grand total.

Additional performance and stability improvements.
