- An
emergency update (version 1.4.1) has
been submitted that
fixes an unusual crash bug affecting iOS
7 only... I'd been working with
Apple to track down the source of the
problem, but I've come up with a
workaround for now.
- On
iPads running iOS 7, long scrolling
lists (e.g. file lists) still don't
display properly, but they still work if
you can read through the corrupt
display... I've filed a bug report
with Apple, so hopefully they will fix
it in an iOS 7 update soon!
