Fix to reduce backup time in iTunes. Release notes are here.

Got a larger slice of server in order to have room for growth. Server was down for just a couple of minutes.

In this case this would have a lot easier to get this right in the first place than trying to move files from backed up directory on iPhone to a non backed up directory seamlessly. Process takes almost as long as downloading did in the first place.

Also preparing to disconnect chart updates from AppStore version bumps.
AF/D and TPP is slowly making it – lots of issues with memory leaks when displaying PDF’s so will go ahead and convert to jpg on server and use those instead.

So getting closer – have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out whats eating memory… Also trying to make sql queries fast. Unfortunately seems like loading the entire table takes a while. But its coming! Maybe in the next couple of days ?

AppStore rejected SkyCharts since it didn’t test for connectivity before trying to download (you just get a messaged downloads failed). So need to add the reachability delegate now instead of later (was planned for 1.7).

Got the fixes in – decided to keep version number as 1.3.

See updated release schedule here.

So it will probably show up as an update in a couple of days ?

1.3 should be significantly faster on loading – like twice as fast!

The load times are now:
WiFi: 5 minutes
3G: 9 minutes
Edge: 32 minutes

Again – the problem is not really the amount of data, its the number of files/tiles that are in use – about 2000 per chart..

Release notes are here.
