Version 7.4.1¶
- Release Date
November, 24th 2020
- Compatibility
iOS 12, iOS 13, iOS 14, iPadOS 13, iPadOS 14
This is a standard maintenance release with enhanced support for the National Convention 2021. In addition, it will store your personal password in a more secure way.
What’s New¶
Events¶
Support for the upcoming National Convention 2021 has been enhanced and now properly shows the start and end time of meta-events:
Security¶
1 The password you use to authenticate is now stored securely in Keychain.
Note
In some cases Keychain data is synchronized with iCloud, and uninstalling the application may not remove the secure values (thus your user password) from iCloud and other devices you have linked with your account.
For more information on Keychain syncing, please refer to this Apple Platform Security article.
News¶
Since we introduced news in the dashboard (back in Version 2.4.0), only public news created in your club website were included in the LionsBase mobile application.
This restriction has been lifted; this means that your webmaster may now create news only visible to authenticated members. Another enhancement is that the mobile application now supports news which are configured as a redirect to an internal page or to an external website.
Other Changes¶
In addition, a few bugs have been squashed and minor enhancements integrated:
under some circumstances, trying to access a club website using a silent authentication could lead to an error in the application showing “http:// Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed”. We found a bug in the API for LionsBase Austria and fixed it right away (thanks to O. Krauss for reporting the problem). Finally, we took an extra step to be always on the safe side and ensure this bug could not occur anymore in case of a problem with the LionsBase API;
when opening your club website, we now show a short notification asking you to wait a bit until the loading of the website. This is useful since opening the preparation of the silent authentication link to your website lasts a few seconds and we thought it was worth giving you a short feedback;
the colors of the user interface have been standardised;
various internal libraries have been upgraded.
