#Catima 2.41.0 is out!
https://github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Android/releases/tag/v2.41.0
This release adds support for UTF-8 barcodes (by default, the encoding will be extracted from the pkpass file or auto-detected if set otherwise).
It also contains some bugfixes and UI tweaks.
Due to Google dropping Android 5 compatibility in their libraries, this will be the last release available for Android 5.
Coming soon to an app store near you.
Dear OSS community on Mastodon, Every day I scroll through my feed and I see proud announcements like: > “First Alpha Relase of HyperTurboWidget available" or > “Version 2.7.1 now with improved glorb handlers!” or > “Flux Capacitor version 4.5 is out” … and I sit there wondering if I should be excited, terrified, or calling a licensed electrician. Don’t get me wrong, I love open source. I just have **no idea** what three quarters of these projects actually **do**. Are we talking about a web server? A file system? A middleware thingy that keeps the flux from overflowing into the space–time continuum? So, dear OSS developers of the world: When you announce a new release, please give us (your adoring but slightly confused audience) just a **tiny** bit of context. - Tell us what your software does. - Tell us why this release is cool. - Tell us what it requires to work. Example: > We are proud to announce Flux Capacitor version 4.5 is now avalaible. While it creates a nice wormhole to 1955, it requires an underlying gigawatt stack 1.21 to work reliably. Because nobody wants to cheer enthusiastically for “v2.7.1” while secretly Googling “what is a glorb and why does it need handling”. Yours truly, *Someone who wants to celebrate your achievements*
