version 11.4

Sep 22, 2020 Version 11.4
11.4 (September 2020)
- Updated MAX map to September 2020 version (three stops were closed).
- New look for Alerts. Alerts now include links inline in the text, such as trimet.org or Stop ID 7586. Alerts are now consistently sorted, and additional links are at the end.
- Fixed issue with reading TriMet's route file, so the optional fetching of route lines for maps will work again, now it fetches in the background too. This is a cool feature - turn it on in the settings. For Show Route Paths on Maps, choose "Fetch in background, Monthly".
- Fixed an issue where, on the details screen, vehicles may be shown as due after they had left.
- Code has been tidied up a lot internally to make it easier to maintain, as I had time on my hands. :-(
- Added support for Shortcuts app to get arrivals, stop locations, and routes. See documentation, and try the Shortcuts app.
- Improved check network screen to show progress.
- Trip planner results now include the number of transfers.
- Various other bug fixes.
- Updated some station names as the South Waterfront area has changed from "SW Portland" to "S Portland". The Streetcar map and stations are not yet changed.
- Updated map sharing to allow sharing of a map link for a stop.
- Note: This will be the last update for iOS 10, as Apple makes it hard to test older than the last three versions.

- Several other small bug fixes and tweaks, including more information when a vehicle goes off route.
