Android & iOS Update: 5.00
Introducing: Hot Patch Deployment
Our biggest leap forward isn’t something you’ll see, it’s something you’ll feel. Version 5.00+ introduces Hot Patch, a brand-new feature that allows us to push select updates instantly, without waiting for Apple or Google’s approval cycles.
Why It Matters:
- Critical updates and fixes can now be deployed instantly.
- Less downtime, more agility.
How It Works:
- Hot Patches may be applied automatically, or on occasion, manually (when instructed).
- Manual patching is available via:
Configuration > Misc > App Patch Loader
Versioning Note:
Going forward, app versions will follow a new format: X.Xy
- X.X = Major version (App Store)
- y = Minor version (Hot Patch)
Example: App version 5.00 (from the App Store) + Hot Patch 5.01 Functionally identical, but hot-patched with background enhancements.
Minor but Noticeable Updates
Improved Inventory Sync Logic
Reduced risk of double-syncing caused by repeated taps during poor connectivity.
Pro Tips:
- Always sync with a stable connection (move closer to WiFi or switch to cellular).
- After pressing the Sync button, wait at least 5 seconds before trying again.
Smarter Text Fields
When entering certain fields (e.g., new item creation), existing text will now be auto-selected for quick replacement – no more backspacing!
Renamed Option: “Smart Download” → “Full Item Database Download”
A clearer name for a powerful feature. “Smart Download” was a legacy term from an outdated process – the new name reflects its true purpose.
Bug Fixes
Inventory Reset Behavior
Reset now properly returns users to the first page/shelf, avoiding confusion in large inventories.
Language Settings Fix
Display language now properly switches across all devices, including Samsung models.
