The next version of Electronic Toolbox is available.
Version 14 contains a lot of internal rewriting with improvements, new features and of course fixes.
The biggest challenge however was to keep that version backward compatible. I had to drop iOS 10 support but was able to keep the new version compatible down to iOS 11. This meant that I had to test the App on four different iOS Versions on several different devices. Unfortunately this took quite some time and I would have rather spent that time into additional features but I hope this effort will be appreciated.
And, even if you can’t update to the new version, you will benefit from the database update because I was able to keep that backward compatible even to older App versions.
Nevertheless, I am happy that all items I had on my list for this update made it to the AppStore. The update will be released during the next days.
Version 14 includes the following changes:
NEW:
- Further iOS 14 improvements
- For the calculation Tools, it is now possible to save calculations under a name and reload them later
