4.0.970 -> Promoted to app stores (22APR2022)

• FIXED: Sometimes highlighted airspace (for example due to an airspace warning) was rendered offset compared to the actual position of the airspace.
• FIXED: When ALT2 (alternate) was closer to the destination than ALT1, then the route planning window would use that as distance to calculate fuel-to-furthest alternate for, resulting in a difference between the Trip Kit produced fuel required and the total fuel required according to the route window.
• FIXED: QuickInfo wheel, Route objects truncated the last few characters of a User Waypoint description.
• FIXED: QuickInfo wheel, Route Objects Window, when editing a user waypoint mixed lower & uppercase characters are now allowed.
• FIXED: EasyVFR 4 menu -> my UserWaypoints now only accepts A-Z, 0-9, and a few special characters as short ID and description.
• FIXED: Some menu z-order issues.
• CHANGED: Dynon SkyView systems produce a wrong route when a route is sent via Wi-Fi that contains a VFR Reporting Point ("VRP") that has an identifier (for example "E") and more than one VRP with the same Ident exists close together. For example a route LZPE->LSZR-E->lSZR would not route via LSZR-E, but instead via LOIH-E. The only way to fix this was to no longer use the correct Ident/latitude/longitude, but instead use a "fake ident" (in our case LSZR E)/latitude/longitude, resulting unfortunately in that route waypoint not using the VRP icon anymore in the route list.

4.0.969 beta (28MAR2022)

• FIXED: The Flight Statistics window that is shown when a logbook entry is automatically created is now suppressed for all aircraft types except "Fixed Wing", so slow-flying aircraft like flexwings don't get this window shown in the middle of their flight when they fly so slow and low EV4 thinks they have landed.
• FIXED: Route Total bubble would always display the route total in NM, even if a different distance unit was selected.

4.0.965 beta (16MAR2022)

• NEW: Route Card.
• NEW: Share Route Token: Using Route Card -> Share Route it is now very easy to exchange routes with other EasyVFR4 users.

• IMPROVED: Relative Terrain Colouring now uses a mixture of Red/Yellow to better render terrain that is still below the current altitude so valleys are better detectable.
• IMPROVED: When traffic depiction uses an altitude range instead of a single value (in case the pressure altitude source is unreliable for example) the EV4 now uses a <> symbol between the lowest and highest possible value to indicate its a range. 
• FIXED: In landscape, the Route Tools menu did not scroll anymore.
• FIXED: WX Timelabels in the Route Planning menu, at the WX tab gave weird values.

4.0.954 beta (27JAN2022)

• NEW: Introducing the new Status Card.
• IMPROVED: Auto-adjust of airspace hide filter. When the difference between current altitude and active Airspace Hide Filter becomes 1000ft or less, then EV4 will automatically adjust this AirspaceHide filter in steps of 1000ft to create a difference of more then 1000ft again.
• IMPROVED: Loading of large routes is now faster and more stable.

• FIXED: Exporting of breadcrumbs and routes on Android 11 devices.
• CHANGED: Removal of backward compatibility to access files in other directories than owned by EasyVFR4 itself. This is a new requirement from Google and was forced upon us to release this version via Google Play Store.

4.0.897 beta (03APR21)

• NEW: Voice guidance for upcoming leg change.
• FIXED: Dragging route waypoint was broken since version 4.0.893.

4.0.894 beta (26MAR2021)

• NEW: Available fuel is now shown per airfield using symbology on the map. If no aircraft profile is selected then all fuel types will be displayed for each airfield. If an aircraft profile is selected where JetA1 is selected as fuel then only JetA1 fuel labels are rendered on the map. If Avgas is selected as fuel type in the aircraft profiles then all 100(LL) labels are rendered. If mogas or "other" is selected as fuel type in the aircraft profile then all except JetA1 is rendered on the map.
• NEW: The runway centerline extension feather is now always drawn when the runway ident in QuickInfo->Airfield info is tapped. It doesn't have to be part of a route anymore. 
• NEW: Ukraine is added as supported country.
• NEW: Bulgaria is added as supported country.
• NEW: Greenland is added as supported country.
• IMPROVED: When flightmode is activated EV4 automatically creates a local flight definition in RouteWindow, and now directly activates it as active route instead of leaving it as draft route for the user to confirm.

• IMPROVED: Various tweaks for menu->downloads menu->Dynon Data exchange
• FIXED: Sometimes in Windows landscape, the W&B screen layout had impossible small sliders.
• FIXED: EasyVFR 4 menu -> myEasyVFR did not render the trashcan button for charts that are already downloaded to the device.

4.0.890 beta (16MAR2021)

• NEW: Runway extension. Map Layers -> AeroData now has a toggle to turn off/on runway extension line feathers for airfields in your route. Regardless of this setting, when marking a runway in QuickInfo->Airport by tapping on its ident then EV4 will render a runway centerline extension for that specific runway.
• NEW: Actual flight time and distance flown. Route totals in the routewindow now keep track of actual flight time and ground distance flown.
• NEW: Auto local flight. When flightmode gets enabled (either manually or automatically) and no route is loaded yet on the routewindow then EasyVFR 4 will automatically create a local flight route based on backtracking today's breadcrumb to determine the actual takeoff position and time.
• NEW: Logbook entries are now automatically created without the need for manual activation to extract them from daily breadcrumbs.
• NEW: When single-tapping anywhere in the VPV, the moving map will pan to that tapped location and show either detailed airfield info or detailed airspace info depending on if the tap was at the bottom scale of the VPV or in the airspace area.
• IMPROVED: Minor improvements to descend to destination profiling in the VPV to eliminate some of the "weird vertical profiles" in the VPV.
• IMPROVED: Dynon Data exchange. Approach Plates now get downloaded from the Dynon Data Exchange window because nobody understood only the plates that were already downloaded are actually copied. This has now become an "all or nothing" operation: when the Dynon Sync is done, EasyVFR will make sure all approach plates for all selected countries are downloaded, regardless of how long it takes. The user has no influence on this anymore.
• IMPROVED: When inserting a route point into a leg then EasyVFR will no longer increase planned altitude for the newly created leg if terrain for the newly created leg is higher than for the existing leg. When a point is added to the route then this auto-adjusting to the highest terrain still takes place.
• IMPROVED: When tapping a NOTAM on the routewindow to highlight it on the map, then the on map NOTAM text won't get shown anymore if the routewindow is still open (because the NOTAM text can still be read on that routewindow then).
• CHANGED: On Windows when opening a PDF, EasyVFR 4 will always launch an external viewer instead of creating an in-app viewer. This is done because some in-app viewers cause EV4 to freeze when the users want to print the PDF for example.
• CHANGED: Infofields for legs at the routewindow for both planning and flightmode.
• CHANGED: Daily Breadcrumb maintenance is now moved to EasyVFR 4 menu- > System. They are currently stored indefinitely, but upcoming versions will restrict this to a specific date frame as soon as the automatic logbook creation turns out to be working ok (breadcrumbs are copied to the logbook for the specific flight duration so the original daily breadcrumb can safely be deleted). Breadcrumbs are just kept for debugging purposes still.
• FIXED: When exporting a route with a space in the filename EV4 would crash if exported on an iOS device
• FIXED: EV4 could crash in some circumstances when opening the AirspaceCrossed tab.
• FIXED: When using an iPhone with a notch in landscape mode ev4 would keep a top part of the screen unused.

• FIXED: When a local flight was active and EV4 showed WX for the upcoming ours in the VP then when rotating the screen the VPV would jump to the farthest time point to the right.
• FIXED: When a country was added and then Dynon SkyView Data Exchange was chosen before the EFB catalog was updated in the background then EV4 would not copy the plates for the newly added country to the Dynon memory stick.
• FIXED: Flightplan filing new firewall conditions setup by RocketRoute broke Flightplan filing.
• FIXED: When using landscape screen orientation the infofields could become extremely small.

• FIXED: Android11 now integrates with external PDF viewers correctly again
• FIXED: Luxembourg plates get now downloaded when Belgium is selected
• FIXED: When using a GDL90 source (SkyEcho2, Stratux etc) for traffic information but using the internal GPS as ownership location then when the GDL90 source internal GPS was inoperative or did not have a fix then received traffic would be displayed at the wrong location.
• FIXED: When an airspace warning was snoozed then the next airspace warning in the queue was not shown if its alert level was less then the level of the airspace snoozed.
• FIXED: Sometimes remarks on the Airfield Info page of the QuickInfo wheel got corrupted.

4.0.870 beta (09FEB2021)

• NEW: When a georeferenced approach plate is selected then when the summary window is activated a [PDF] button is available to quickly open the corresponding PDF
• NEW: On iOS and windows, when activating a PDF from the AirfieldInfo window (accessible for example through the QuickWheel or Presets A/B when a route is loaded) the PDF will be shown within EasyVFR4 instead of asking the user to select which PDF app he/she wishes to use.
• IMPROVED: Performance on all Android's has slightly improved.
• FIXED: Slow performance on devices upgraded to Android 11 has been solved. Android 11 is now even faster than the previous versions.
• FIXED: Sometimes during very specific conditions while route planning the AirspaceHide filter minimum altitude was set to zero (0) causing all airspaces to disappear from the map.
• FIXED: EasyVFR 4 menu->my Userwaypoints did not scroll enough to make it possible to edit the last items on the list
• FIXED: Removed Billing permission from android manifest
• FIXED: Memory leak on windows, Android and MacOS

• NEW: QuickInfo window now can use swipe left/right to change info page, or a tap on the corresponding "page dot". On windows and mac also left or right cursor keys can be used.
• NEW: user waypoints maintenance using menu->my Userwaypoints
• IMPROVED: Smartmap now recognizes more airspace de-activation notams.
• IMPROVED MapRenderng in flightmode (with some luck ;-))
• IMPROVED: Further improvements to map rendering, this time the airspace layer is significantly improved.
• IMPROVED: Auto Routing now supports mousewheel scrolling.
• IMPROVED: my EasyVFR, registrationnumber is now password style.
• IMPROVED: When locking the screen, the unlock instructions stay permanently on the screen now.
• IMPROVED: When closing the Current Position & Airspace Info window by using the Flightmode toggle button will also remove the flightmode on and flightmode off buttons
• FIXED: Tripkit Download TAFS mentioned METARS instead of TAFS
• FIXED: Weight&Balance graph on windows was so thin it was hardly visible.
• FIXED: Various fueltype related textuals.
• FIXED: A crash cause when VPV enabled and flying on terrain where no or partial terrain data is available for.

4.0.712 beta (12MAR2020)

• NEW: EasyVFR4 and associated AeroData database now support "seasonal" airspaces. These are airspaces only active during a specific period of the year. Smartmap will fade these airspaces when outside that period, and the active period will be shown in various places like WheelInfo->Airspaces window. These "Seasonal Airspaces" will become active after downloading the latest AeroData.
• NEW: Android version does not need to be exited anymore, and the "Exit application" option is therefore removed.
• NEW: A map orientation icon is now on the top bar that indicates True North. When tapped, the map will jump back to planepos if panned, otherwise it will toggle track up/north up map orientation mode. As a result the "map orientation" option is removed from the layers menu.
• NEW: Menu->Search now has a new "Airspaces" tab where the search can search for AirspaceIdentifiers like EHR4B etc.
• NEW: menu option maplayer->Smartmap settings added, mainly for "demonstration & evaluation" purposes.
• IMPROVED: Runways are rendered only on lower camera altitudes to avoid cluttering with Airfield symbol.
• IMPROVED: InfoWheel->Route window, DirectTo now behaves as expected.
• IMPROVED: responsiveness and stability .
• IMPROVED: Menu maplayer has the buttons to turn on/off Vertical profile view and Map orientation removed because these functions are directly accessible via onscreen buttons.
• IMPROVED: VPV look-ahead distance when in flightmode is now speed dependent; EV4 will always look ahead 15 minutes, unless the user has changed the X-axis zoom himself while in flight. To reset to auto-zoom behavior in that case flightmode should be toggled off/on.
• IMPROVED: When updating AeroData or adding a country while a route is loaded no longer requires the route to get closed.
• IMPROVED: Airspaces are now rendered up to twice the camera altitude as before. As a result a bit more memory is required, and performance might get effected due to the airspace labeling, lets see how this evolves on the various platforms.
• IMPROVED: Restricted, Danger and Prohibited areas are now entirely filled when they are connected to ground (aka not under-flyable).
• IMPROVED: CTRs with a lower limit NOT ground (aka they are underflyable) are now no longer entirely filled so the user knows they are underfly-able.
• IMPROVED: Some tidying up of the Aircraft settings.
• IMPROVED: On windows and macos EV4 used the cursor keys as global hotkeys to pan arround the map. This was regardless of which window had the actual focus. From this version on these cursor keys are handled depending on where the mousecursor is located. Currently the moving map still uses them to pan, the VPV uses the left/right keys to pan also, and the mapinterest date&time controls use the left&right cursor keys to change the viewport also.
• IMPROVED: Clean installs now have Airfield NOTAM filter by default turned on.
• IMPROVED: Even when Airfield NOTAM filter is on, the routewindow will show airfield NOTAMS for airfields that are part of the route.

• IMPROVED: On fresh install of EV4 airspacewarnings are default turned on.
• IMPROVED: Terrain Elevation colouring is now default on when fresh installed.
• IMPROVED: Help & Legal menu option
• FIXED: When GAFOR was outdated EV4 would not allow to turn off the GAFOR layer, keeping the map stuck with a grayish useless overlay.
• FIXED: Tapping approachplates on the Summary bar often required 2-3 taps before it was activated.
• FIXED: When EV4 detects a crash on intel HD5xx/HD6xx GPUs it installs a fix that requires EV4 to restart, but after that the problem should no longer happen (we think).
• FIXED: When using EV4 landscape (for example macos or windows) with the routewindow docked fixed to the left, the summary window would never show because it was placed underneath the routewindow.
• FIXED: When using InfoWheel->Route points repeately, the window could "lag behind" and tapping a waypoint could actually mean tapping a waypoint from the upcoming list.
• FIXED: When trying to add advanced power setting to an aircraft profile, EV4 would crash.
• FIXED: When mapinterest tiemspan spans more then 24hrs then smartmap would render all airspaces as active.

4.0.693 beta (08FEB2020)

• Further stability improvements, but most noticably our new QuickStart guide in English and German.

• FIXED: VPV rendered airspaces extended from the first or last leg in the VPV covering the entire route.

4.0.691 beta (03FEB2020)

• Further stability improvements, but to fix a VPV bug (route from A to B then back to A) a serious rework of the VPV had to be done. 
• FIXED: MacOS version crashes on 5K retina devices. For 5K retina devices a significant performance improvement is noticed when selected resolution 0f 2048x1152 points, (because its retina, internally EV4 uses 4096x2304 pixels and this seems to be the fastest mode).
• FIXED: Occacionally freezing and stuttering.
• FIXED: eliminated a few crash causes.
• FIXED: When planning a route from A to B and then back to B the VPV would not show correct terrain.
• FIXED: Occacionally Airspacelabels where rendered while Airspaces where not.
• FIXED: The Confirm/Cancel route changes buttons jumped across the screen from VPV to main map and back depending on the VPV calculation state.
• FIXED: Rendering rastercharts
• IMPROVED: The time the Info Wheel is shown now a second longer, many users found the old timeout a bit too fast.
• IMPROVED: When a warning window (full or minimized) is shown it will no longer cover the Summary Window but will be shown above it.
• IMPROVED: map scalebar is moved from the bottom to the right side when using in portrait.
• IMPROVED: Info Wheel, Nearby objects gives places the lowest priority, resulting in the nearby routepoints list showing aviation related objects higher in the list even if located further away from the tapped location. 

4.0.687 beta (26JAN2020)

• FIXED: a few crash causes
• IMPROVED: When adding temporary routepoints using QuickInfo wheel->Routepoints window the inserted waypoints will now be labeled as TCK instead of simple USER WPT
• FIXED: When adding temporary routepoints using QuickInfo wheel->Routepoints window the added waypoint was never found when tapped near it on the map, so could not get deleted anymore.
• FIXED: When selecting an ApproachPlate to render on MacOS, EV4 would crash

• FIXED: When saving routes the screen had a lot of rusbbish text and buttons rendered.
• FIXED: Various smaller changes to map rendering in trackup mode
• IMPROVED: Android text edit boxes now have the default text already highlighted so it will auto-clear when the user starts to type, onscreen keyboard is also autimatically opened. This saves the onnoying everytime-tap-to-do when editing text
• FIXED: When using the [Tap to Add] button on the routeplanning window, the legs would not get added, but got inserted.
• IMPROVED: SpotElevations are not rendered by default on the NOTAM and WX mappreset map.

• FIXED: QuickInfo AirfieldInfo sometimes did not render all remarks.
• FIXED: 'Aiport' type in NOTAMS menu.
• FIXED: When adding or editing logbook entries EV4 would always take Aircraft type and callsign from the currently loaded Aircraft profile, and often clear the AircraftType entry.
• FIXED: Logbook remarks filtered out certain characters like & .
• FIXED: Selected rastercharts now (hopefully) stay persistent between sessions.
• FIXED: If waypoint Symbol+Name could not fit on a single line in the RouteWindow, then the name would overlap the symbol.

• NEW: at various places where airfield information is given, available fueltypes are added either textual or graphical. Datacollecting of fueltypes for  airfields is an ongoing process during the upcoming weeks
• NEW: Warning&Information system has been started with. The AirspaceWarning system currently has WarningPopups and outline on the map implemented. Warning Popup has the option to dismiss warnings for that airspace for 5 minutes or for the rest of the day. The warning sound is scheduled for the upcoming week. Default AirspaceWarnings are off, they should be enabled by the user using menu->Alarms and Warnings.
• IMPROVED: The two buttons to confirm or cancel a route modification are now placed directly under the text in the VPV telling the route change must be accepted before a vertical profile is shown.
• IMPROVED: Some popups are lengthened so they take up the entire device height instead of just being a tiny "crippled looking" window.
• IMPROVED: The "license unlock" padlock button displayed top-left when no active subscription is found now activates the myEasyVFR option.
• IMPROVED: Menu- and graphics overhaul/completing.
• IMPROVED: When NOTAMs in a route briefing are collapsed to a single-line-version, the delete button for that NOTAM will not be shown to prevent overlapping UI elements.
• IMPROVED: QuickInfo and EFB Summary window no longer auto-download plates, but require a tap on one of the thumb images to actually download them. 
• FIXED: EV4 detected the start of a new AIRAC cycle a day too late. 
• FIXED: When using landscape the summary EFB window would cover the VPV and get covered by the system status bar.

• FIXED: EV4 will now (again ;-)) restore the camera position&alttude as it was when the previous session was closed.
• FIXED: Routelegs where rendered below approachplates.
• FIXED: Logbook entries where text input is required didn't work on iOS because only the numeric keyboard was enabled.
• FIXED: When loading a route, then the auto-populated AirField info presets A&B did not give approachplates when activated.
• FIXED: CountrySelector on Android had the OK button placed too low, so it was partially covered by the device's navigation bar.
• FIXED: Windows version did not render the GAFOR graphic on the map.
• FIXED: When adding a new LogBook entry sometimes it could end up in an endless loop of popups telling input was wrong.

4.0.647 beta (23NOV2019)

• NEW: Rastercharts are now fully functional using menu->myEasyVFR. Still some lose ends to complete.
• IMPROVED: EFB Summary window is now overlayed the movingmap instead of placed left from movingmap when using a device in landscape.
• IMPROVED: When the user taps on the movingmap and the nearest found airfield does not comply to the suitable airfield settings for the current selected aircraft then the EFB summary window will not be opened.

4.0.643 beta (18NOV2019)

• NEW: As an experiment we implemented now three different "map presets", one call "NAV", the other "NOTAMs" and the third "Weather".
• NEW: When tapping on the map to activate QuickInfo EV4 will now take Aircraft settings into account to pick a preferred airfield to show info for. This prevents for example Heliports beeing picked when tapping at a location where both an airfield and heliport exist.
• NEW: Tapping one of the two A or B presets will now open the Summary AirfieldInfo (the small white bar with approachplates and basic airfieldinfo) of the fullinfo Window because its easy to get from the Summary Window to the Fullinfo window but not visaversa.
• NEW: A new magnification setting to control breadcrumb size is now available. 
• Improved SigWX and cloudbase WX depiction
• FIXED: Map interest date&time did not always follow route timespan.

• NEW: New infofields: Desired Heading to NExt Waypoint (magnetic), Desired Heading to NExt waypoint (true), GPS Status and Electronic Conspicuity Status
• IMPROVED: NOTAMS, METARS, TAFS, AdVancedWX, EFB plates and GAFOR will now only be downloaded if the internet connection is considered sufficient. 
• IMPROVED: Cloud forecast symbols are now more refined and rendered less prominent. 
• IMPROVED: LogBook now lists total flight endurance also. 
• IMPROVED: When highlighting airspace in QuickInfo->Airspaces then not only the map is highlighting it, but also the depictions of the same airspace in the QuickInfo window.
• FIXED: The VPV rendered Altitude reference labels twice, resulting in these not beeing readable very well. 
• FIXED: Flight mode departure / arrive buttons stay visible even when the main flight mode button is not visible
• FIXED: When NOTAM download fails (for example due to intermittent internet connection) the NOTAM data was still cleared, resulting in a system without any NOTAMS. Now the old NOTAMS will only get cleared if a new NOTAM Data download was actually successfull.
• FIXED: The VPV would draw a corrupted routeline when the climb to altitude took more then 30 times the climb rate for the given aircraft.
• FIXED: EV4 now detects corrupted terrain data tiles and skips to the next-good-zoomlevel to still obtain correct point elevation. 
• FIXED: When AeroData search was done and initially a long list appeared that the user scrolled and then added another searchletter the resultlist was not reset, so it could happen an empty result page was shown.

• FIXED: When loading a route the mapinterest date&timespan was not adjusted to the takeoff date&time anymore. 
• FIXED: When toggling autowind on or off while no active route exists (only a workingon route is available) EV4 would crash. 
• FIXED: Flightplan Filing did not show an message with the filing result anymore. 

4.0.627 beta (12OCT2019)

• NEW: To improve quick access to primary Airfield information EV4 now enables the Airfield Information bar using a single tap on the map near an airfield. It will not only show the approachplate thumbs, but also the airport name, elevation, frequency and runway length. 
• NEW: A new option is available in Menu->Flightlog maintenance to import EasyVFR3 logbook into the EasyVFR4 logbook. When EV3 breadcrumbs are already downloaded from PocketFMS cloud then test EV3 logbook entries will get the breadcrumbs automatically added.
• NEW: When manually creating logbook entries EV4 will now extract breadcrumbs for the specficied flight period and store them into the logbook entry.
• NEW: All iOS devices can now have EasyVFR4 operate in the background to record breadcrumbs and logbook data, even if the device is not actually used. To do this, enable menu->System->Location Updates even when app in background.
• NEW: Routelegs on the map now have small arrows to indicate the direction of Flight .
• IMPROVED: the (i) marker on the movingmap indicating the position the QuickInfo wheel uses as reference position will no longer be shown for 2 seconds after the QI wheel is dismissed.
• IMPROVED:  the LocalFLight area circle is now also visible when the routeplan is confirmed.
• FIXED: ApproachPlates crash when .pfmsmap2 file did not have corresponding .pdf file
• FIXED: The limit of max 50 airfield documents & approach plates.
• IMPROVED: RMZ's with lower altitude not GND will not be fully interior filled. As a result Denmark is no longer "blueish" when airspace filter is set to 9500ft or higher.
• FIXED: When the list of routes in PocketFMS cloud was so large that it took more then 15 seconds for the server to collect all changes then EV4 would never pickup new routes from PocketFMS cloud anymore. 
• FIXED: sometimes when toggling a flightlog entry another entry was also toggled.
• IMPROVED: Approach Plate download will now only be executed when the internet connection type is considered fast enough

4.0.622 beta (05OCT2019)

• NEW: This version is focussed on Breadcrumbs and logbook. It's not entirely finished yet and still rough around the edges, but it's complete enough to start discussing. You can find these new features at menu->Flightlog maintenance. 
• NEW: When Background location updates are not working, or when using EV4 on Android or Windows, then EV4 records breadcrumbs as long as its in the foreground.
• NEW: Flightmode will be automatically triggered in this new version. 
• NEW: Breadcrumbs can be analysed to create logbook entries from. These auto-created logbook entries can be edited, and are stored in the logbook with a copy of the breadcrumb data for the timespan of the flight. That is why both breadcrumbs as logbook entries have the option to show the track of the flight on the map or export to google maps. Since the trackdata is stored in the logbook file itself (an XML based file now contrary to the binary format EV3 used) you don't lose the track details when you lose the breadcrumb file.
• NEW: The logbook file is now one convenient file that keeps all data and can be easily backed-up. 

4.0.614 beta (13SEP2019)

• IMPROVED: RouteWindow can now be dragged on the right side part of the window to resize it.

• IMPROVED: Runways were rendered at too high camera altitudes.
• IMPROVED: QuickInfo ->Airfield Info now has the [PDF/Approach Plates] button always initially disabled to avoid the immediate download of approach plates and PDFs, what was found very irritating by many users.
• IMPROVED: When countrySelect was done the WX Timestepper was not hidden.
• IMPROVED: When countrySelect was done the ApproachPlate picker window was not hidden.
• IMPROVED: Graphical route editing was very slow on many devices because with every change EV4 had to calculate terrain elevation, crossed airspaces, Enroute NOTAMS, Enroute METARs&TAFs and Enroute Advanced WX. EasyVFR4 now only does these calculations when the changes made to a route (depicted using the yellow legs on the map) are approved to the active route (depicted by the purple legs on the map). If the device is fast enough to do these calculations with every change of the route then the user can enable the old behavior using menu->System-> Update route while editing
•  IMPROVED: Dragging the trackline on the VPV to change the planned altitude for a leg now displays the altitude in numerical value while dragging.
•  IMPROVED: On the Movingmap and QuickInfo->Airfield Info grass runways are rendered with a lower order then hard runways so they don't look to overlap the hard runways.
• IMPROVED: When changing planned altitude for a leg that causes the Airspace Hide limit to increase EV4 will now reset back the original Hide Airspace Above not only when stopping the route, but also when the planned altitude for the entire route falls again below the orginal Hide airspace above value.
• FIXED: Finnish Language was not added to the windows version.
• FIXED: menu->LockScreen is now disabled for devices that are not multitouch to prevent they can never be unlocked anymore (3 simultaneous touche is required to unlock).
• FIXED: When toggling approachplates it could take a few seconds before the associated approach plate became actually visible. This was very annoying, especially when the previously selected plate was still visible all that time, this gave the impression the newly selected plate was not selected properly.
• FIXED: Decoded TAFS now show the full station name again.
• FIXED: suffix on some days of the month in TAF Decoding.
• FIXED: METARS&TAFS were often slightly offset in relation to the associated airport.

4.0.607 beta (06SEP2019)

• AeroData search window now has the action buttons made bigger, they where difficult to read on many devices.
• When using a landscape oriented screenlayout of sufficient size the routeplanning window will be permanently docked to the left side occupying 40% of the entire screen width.

• Various textinput (registrationnumber, email address etc) now support pasting from clipboard using tap&hold or platform-specific key combination (CTRL-V on windows).
• When AeroData was disabled from rendering on the map to get a better overview of the WX picture, the WX symbols would be rendered using unreadable small symbols.
• The arrival or Next waypoint button on the routeplanning window was removed as soon as one leg was created. Now this button will be usable continously.
• Newly-loaded route had last leg selected for deletion
• WX Timestepper did not take the Advanced WX forecast timespan into account, resulting timestepping was only possible up to the most far TAF forecast time.
• WX timestepper did not auto-advance the time when it got outdated more then 30 minutes
• EV4 could occacionally crash when Advanced WX data was downloading
• EV4 could crash when a route was loaded that had no effective NOTAMs involved, and then NOTAM data was updated.
• QuickInfo wheel : AirspaceInfo, tap on the bargraph style depiction now takes the tapped altitude into account to highlight the correct airsapce in case a bar graph is representing multiple airspaces.
• NOTAMS that get replotted by EasyVFR based on extracted coordinates from the NOTAM text are now using a blueish colour instead of pink.

4.0.604 beta (30AUG2019)

• Implemented Magnetic Variation model where applicable. 
• Fixed constant crashing when trying to hide or delete a NOTAM from the route list.
• RouteWindow, Weather page now enables to choose if TAFs should be decoded in normal text or not. 
• On android the yes and no buttons on every confirmation popup are swapped, so YES is now the  left one.

• UK MATZ airspaceType is now known in EV4.
• NOTAM hide & delete buttons sometimes did not appear on Qi or RouteWindow
• Global Weather OFF did not turn off METARS & TAFS on the map
• VPV in flightmode now makes sure at least half an hour distance depending on aircraft speed is shown. 
• QuickInfo->Airport info now shows Circuit altitude as AMSL-AGL by displying AGL between (). so 1700ft(700ft) means 1700AMSL, 700ftAGL 
• Advanced Weather forecast is implemented. VPV shows cloudbase, cloudtop,cloudcoverage, SigWX and headwind component at various altitudes, taking trip time into account. 
• Advanced Weather forecast is implemented, MovingMap shows cloudbase levels (1-3), 2000ftAGL wind, sigWX for a selected time.

• French language pack updated (thanks for all the hard work Patrick Bauffe !)
• Proposed planned altitude for a route leg now takes terrain using a path width of 10NM (5 NM on either side) instead of only a few hundred meters. 
• We're experimenting with redesigning the Plates selection system a bit, to make it possible to much quicker select/unselect plates for an airfield by using a " plates thumbnail bar" which can get activated using the QuickInfo->AirfieldInfo option. This work is not finished yet, so might still be a bit confusing. 
• There was a nasty bug where using the QuickInfo wheel could result in freezes or empty waypoints lists.

4.0.570 beta (07JUN2019)

• NEW: Georeferenced Approach Plates.

4.0.522 beta (01MAR2019)

• Fixed a few serious memory leaks and crash causes
• This week the routeplanning rubberbanding has been implemented. Contrary to EV3 we do NOT use tap&hold to activate rubberbanding, a simple touch on the active or WorkingOn route is enough to start the rubberbanding. Interesting to know is waypoints can now also be moved, so no need anymore to first delete a waypoint and then insert a new one. There is a minimum distance threshold : only when the routeline is dragged enough (about 1.5-2cm) a new waypoint will be created. To undo accidently created waypoints due to panning a big red X is displayed next to the newley created waypoint so the action can quickly be undone. If the old EV3 tap&hold behavior is preferred, there is a menu option in menu->System->Rubberband req. Tap&hold that can be enabled. 
•  Layout Infofields is now smarter with drag&dropped infoblocks; these will now auto-adjust their position based on VPV on or off always and no longer keep a fixed position on the screen regardless of VPV shown or not.
