HEADS UP! This update makes changes to how alarms are stored so you will likely have to recreate any previous alarms! (Sorry 'bout that! The price of progress.)
• Fixed: Sunrise and sound fade up for alarms is slower and correctly pegged to the volume ramp up and no longer pops to a minimum level before brightening. The flashlight ramps slower also.
• Fixed: Alarms continue to play without interruption if they are playing when the Snooze Card time is reached and a new Snooze is created.
• Added: Option to delay the sound fade up until after the sunrise ramp up. My thinking is you will be more gently brought to half away by the light because the sound is mare jaring. Then the sound ramps up later to bring you the rest of the way to awake and aware. In my testing the light is enough to awaken me and is often much gentler.
• Added: Portrait view now alos brightens the screen when an alarm is triggered. With the shift in focus to the screen brightening, an added delay in the sound with nothing happening doesn't make sense. If anyone uses Alarum in portrait orientation it is now on par with Landscape here.
• Changed: The option to turn off the new sound delay has been added to Settings and tied to Sunrise.
• Changed: Fade Up Sound has been re-labled to Ramp Up Alarm to encompass the fact that this setting refers to both the sound fade up time and the light ramp up time.
• Changed: Ramp Up Alarm time now defaults to 120. Since I have added the Delay Sound option I have found that a longer ramp up of the overall alarm is more effective at creating a gentle awakening. Ramping up the light and sound over the previous 30 seconds really defeated the intent of the slow awakening this provides. As such, I have lengthened the default time to encourage trying this out properly.
• Fixed: Bug in Daylight Savings Time compensation

• Fixed: Alarms not correctly offsetting for Daylight Saving Time. (Again) Now for snoozes being an hour further in the future and edited cards being an hour earlier than they should be.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
• Fixed: Alarms now respect the chosen time when crossing timezones or Daylight Saving Time. This means if you set your alarm for 8:30am it will always go off at 8:30am. This change may break previously set alarms so they will need to be recreated. My apologies.
• Fixed: You no longer have to set the hardware screen brightness separately if you want maximum dimness at night like I do. Hardware brightness and image brightness are now linked and independent from whatever brightness you are using outside of the app. Exit the app and it restores the brightness to whatever you had it prior.
• Fixed: Card animation slow motion in Landscape.
• Fixed: Burst of loud volume at alarm trigger.
• Fixed: Brightness of clock and cards on alarm trigger no longer remains at dim setting.
• Fixed: Brightness of Sunrise for both the screen and the camera flash light now go to full brightness.
• Fixed: Sleep Timer recalls last sound used for Sleep Timer.
• Fixed: Card Weekdays tick mark now shows today and only on cards for this week to avoid confusion about what day the weekdays represent.
• Fixed: Holidays were misbehaving and not highlighting correctly in the Card Weekdays.
• Fixed: "Alarm Off" backdrop wasn't positioned correctly in landscape.
• Fixed: Default settings now behave correctly when setting an alarm without Custom settings.
• Fixed: Issues related to selecting the sound for alarms.
• Added: Text is auto-selected in time based text fields on tap to edit to make changing them faster and easier.
• Added: Tap card to pause/play Sleep Time sounds.
• Added: Delete as an option for Sleep Timers.
• Added: Long press to edit or delete Sleep Timers.
• Added: Color to the Alarm Clock icon next to alarm time and the time setting when creating or modifying an alarm: Orange for AM, Blue for PM. Intended to help prevent accidentally setting an alarm for PM when you meant AM.
• Changed: Card Weekdays now fill with a color on the day the card alarm is set for rather than the tick mark.
• Changed: Revered icons back to my original circle button look. Reduced the size of the ones at the top.
• Updated: Sleep Timer Alerts updated for iOS15.
• Updated: Help and Hints updated to reflect changes.
• Lots of cleanup of unused code and some updating of code for iOS15.
• Other bug fixes.

• Fixed Sleep Timer sound select not sticking.
• Changed volume granularity to 1 to 100 (up from 1 to 10) to allow finer tuning of choice volumes. The effective volume is the same.
• Shifted sound playback volume entirely to the system volume. This means non-music uses the same volume under the hood now as music playback.
• Other bug fixes.
