What’s New¶
Menu
Support for other countries¶
Version 8.8.0 added support for many more important European languages. Now it is time to get one step further. In an attempt to convince other European countries to join us on LionsBase mobile, we added support for more countries / multiple districts:
MD 101: Sweden
MD 104: Norway
MD 105: United Kingdom
MD 106: Denmark
MD 107: Finland
MD 108: Italy
MD 110: The Netherlands
MD 112: Belgium
MD 115: Portugal
MD 116: Spain
D 126: Croatia
D 129: Slovenia
D 133: Republic of Ireland
This is depicted on this map (blue for countries using the mobile application for many years, yellow for supported countries and green for European countries not yet taken into account):
For the time being, this is reflected in the authentication form. Having them in the application lets us then easily get them on board.
In that regard, it is worth mentioning that the list of multiple districts is now sorted alphabetically instead of based on their corresponding ID, which is much more user friendly.
Bookmarks¶
We replaced the list of recently searched members (introduced in Version 2.3.0) with a concept of bookmarks, which will be much more useful on a daily basis:
Bookmarks are then visible when you open the page to search a member but did not yet start to type something.
Note
Similarly to the behaviour of the list of recently searched members, please note that bookmarks are stored locally on your device and thus not kept in sync with your other devices running LionsBase mobile.
Events¶
Going to the detail of the multiple district, a district, a region or a zone, you may now see the corresponding programme. In most cases, this will be informational only as most events are targeted at some functions or members of the corresponding area.
For details, please read the (updated) chapter Multiple District in the complete user manual.
Other Changes¶
In addition, a few bugs have been squashed and minor enhancements integrated:
the application is now using version 2 of the LionsBase API;
the documents were possibly mistakenly unavailable; after some investigations, we found the problem that could arise randomly and fixed it;
following devices are now properly recognized: iPhone SE (3rd generation), iPad Air (5th generation);
usage of “Multiple District” has been streamlined; previously we used “Multi District” or “Multi-District”;
various internal libraries have been upgraded.
