PearCircle v1.1.2 is out!
A peer-to-peer location-sharing app
What's new:
### New Features
- **Smaller Places.** Places can now be as small as 50 meters, down from 150. Handy when two Places sit close together, like neighbors or a school next to a park. When you pick a size under 150 meters, the app shows a short warning: a small Place can miss arrivals or report someone leaving when they have not, especially indoors, and iPhones running in the background still notice arrivals and departures at 150 meters.
- **See what your seeder is holding.** The seeder dashboard now shows, for each circle, whose latest location it is keeping for them while their phone is offline. A line turns amber when someone is missing, and a details list shows when each person's location was last stored.
### Improvements
- **Repairs finish on their own.** If a circle repair has to wait, the app now keeps retrying every few seconds while it is open, instead of asking you to close and reopen it.
- **Open the seeder dashboard from another computer.** Mac and Windows seeders can now be reached from other devices on your home network, with step-by-step instructions in the install guides. The setting stays in place when the seeder updates.
- **Start9 updates show up.** Seeders installed from the Start9 store on newer Start9 systems now see new versions as they are released.
### Bug Fixes
- **Mac seeder keeps running after you log out.** It used to stop when you logged out of your Mac, which defeated the point of a seeder. It now keeps going with nobody logged in.
- **Mac seeder starts after a reinstall.** Fixed a case where reinstalling left the seeder quietly switched off.
- **Seeder survives a Start9 system upgrade.** Upgrading a Start9 box could leave the seeder stuck restarting over and over. It now recovers on its own.
- **Working dashboard link for network installs.** A seeder set up to be reachable from other computers now shows a link you can actually open, with its access code included.
### Privacy & Security
- **Leaving a circle clears its data.** When a seeder stops serving a circle, it now deletes the data it was keeping for that circle instead of leaving it on disk.
- **Seeder dashboard locked by default.** Anyone running the seeder's Docker image themselves now needs the access code to open its dashboard. Umbrel and Start9 users are not affected, since those systems already protect it with their own login.
