  If you notice sync issues between your devices, you can attempt to fix them with a force sync from the Settings screen.

• Changed
  The icons for the "Open in Safari/Chrome" actions in the share menu have been adjusted to fit the new iOS 13 style.

1.3 Jul 24, 2019

iPad support and iCloud sync!

• New
  iPad devices are now fully supported, including Slide Over and Split View modes. This means that while reading you can take notes in another app (gooood) or browse Twitter (baaaad.)
• New
  Your queue and archived pages are now backed up and synced across all your iPhone and iPad devices where Quiche Reader is installed.

  Two very important notes about this:

  1. All your data is stored ENCRYPTED in your PRIVATE iCloud space, which means that ONLY YOU and NO ONE ELSE can access them, not even Apple or the developer of this app (THAT'S ME.)
  2. From the Settings screen, you can turn this off and erase everything from your private iCloud space.
• New
  The next page in the queue is now preloaded in a more power efficient way, putting page rendering and web animations on hold until it appears on screen.
• New
  All gestures and transitions between pages (when archiving, snoozing, etc.) have been rebuilt or improved, thanks to a new animation engine rewritten from the ground up.
• Changed
  So it turns out that the read time calculation left for summer holidays without leaving a note. Unfortunately, the third-party service Quiche Reader was using to process web pages content has been shut down, which took me off guard. Rest assured read time calculation will be back and even better in a future release. My sincere apologies for this mishap.
• Changed
  When long-pressing a link to add it to the queue, the notification banner is more readable.
• Changed
  On iPhone X, XR and XS devices, if “Taller Content Area” is disabled in Settings, you can scroll back to top with a single tap at the top of the screen, instead of two. (Merci Riomar!)
• Fixed
  The joy-sparking alerts recommending to throw away an old page were reappearing every time the app was resumed or the settings screen dismissed. Gosh that was annoying.
• Fixed
  During introduction, the instructions displayed on top of the share menu were cut off for owners of the cute iPhone SE, but they are now scrollable.
• Fixed
  The Undo menu item was always on even when unarchiving was not possible.
• Fixed
  The Archive screen was crashing the app in some conditions, which, admit it, was pretty entertaining.

1.2.2 Apr 7, 2019

• Fixed
  The share extension was showing the wrong glyph when saving a page.

1.2.1 Apr 7, 2019

• Fixed
  URLs containing accented characters could not be loaded or saved from the share extension.
• Fixed
  Using the share extension in Feedly was freezing the app.
• Fixed
  The Help and What’s New pages were sometimes not properly refreshed.

1.2 Mar 31, 2019

Mostly changes under the hood in this release, to prepare for the upcoming iCloud sync and desktop browser extensions.

• New
  Pages saved from the share extension are now added to the BOTTOM of the queue. Let's get rid of our oldest saved pages! Pages saved before this update will not be reordered.
• New
  A page cannot be added twice to the queue anymore.
• New
  The total read time is calculated a bit faster.

• Fixed
  The settings screen would hang or crash while calculating the total read time.
• Fixed
  And as if this was not enough already, an ugly memory leak was discovered.

1.1.2 Dec 9, 2018

• Fixed
  A very embarrassing issue where the third and last screen of the first-time experience was not displayed after enabling the share extension.

1.1.1 Dec 9, 2018

A release so bad it was abandoned on the side of the highway.

1.1 Dec 3, 2018

This release adds new ways to encourage you to get rid of the pages you procrastinate NOT reading, among other niceties.

• New
  Pages can now be snoozed only up to three times.
• New
  A nudge message is displayed to encourage archiving pages saved more than 30 days ago.
• New
  An URL copied from another app can be added directly to the queue, without using the share menu.
• New
  Pages can be opened in Safari or Chrome from the share menu, if you’re into that kind of thing.
• New
  The help page lists up all the different ways to add pages from Safari, Chrome, Apple Mail, Twitter, and Facebook.
• New
  The preferred text size defined in iOS Settings is applied throughout most parts of the app.
• New
  The first-time experience has been completely revamped for new users (ie. this is not you.)
• Fixed
  The settings screen could sometimes crash when calculating the total read time. Surprisingly, this was not intended.
• Fixed
  Some buttons in the settings screen were not properly aligned and sometimes their color changed after tapping them. The nightmare is over now.

1.0.5 Nov 13, 2018

Nothing! Just pushing new screenshots to the App Store.

1.0.4 Nov 7, 2018

• Changed
  Some confusing parts of the first-time experience were improved or removed.

  The snooze animation is smoother.
• Changed
  The alert sheets look better in front of dark backgrounds.
• Changed
  The headlines and titles use a new font face.

0.8 Oct 22, 2018

Quiche Reader is now easier to use in one hand, and comes with a new settings screen full of niceties.

• New
  The title bar position can be changed to the top or the bottom of the screen. For easier one-handed use, it is set to bottom by default, but feel free to change it back to top if you preferred the previous version.
• New
  The website icon and the reading time are visible in the top “ears” around the notch on iPhone X, XR and XS devices, when the title bar position is set to bottom.
• New
  The estimated read time of all pages in queue is calculated and visible in Settings. A way more meaningful metric than the number of pages.
• New
  The queue can be deleted, if you want to start all over again with an empty queue.
• New
  JavaScript can be disabled for faster page loading.
• Changed
  The How to Use and Feedback buttons have been moved to Settings.
• Fixed
  Closing the feedback email sheet could crash the application and archive the current page in some situations. Very bad.

0.7.1 Oct 13, 2018

• Changed
  Design improvements.

0.7 Oct 12, 2018

• New
  Better onboarding experience to help users install the share extension and discover all gestures.
  Existing users will not be able to see much of it if their queue is not empty before updating to this version. Deleting and reinstalling the app from TestFlight allows to see the whole experience, but doing so will reset the queue.
• New
  The How to Use page has been simplified and contains a FAQ.
