This is a big one, folks!
The Library has been added to the tab bar! Kaura has over 50 artists creating unique sounds just for you, and these tracks are now available to browse faster than ever.

Track list items have been completely rebuilt to offer more functionality and feedback.
Members using the Apple Watch companion app will now get a fully revamped Library, allowing the ability to browse by artist, album, or track.

INTRODUCING PLAYLIST! Our most significant feature to date will transform how you use Kaura.
Playlist allows a session to have as many configurable time blocks as you want! Need to focus for a couple hours? Create one time block with a focus-inducing soundscape. Looking for different soundscapes for each asana of your yoga session? We've got you! Mix and match time blocks with guided sessions, soothing soundscapes, and sleepy-time white noise to create the perfect Playlist.
Templates are now called Playlists! Create different playlists for meditations, yoga sessions, focus, sleep, and more.
We've introduced a tab bar to better support Playlist, and some exciting new features on the way.

This one is for the nerds!
We refactored the entire session timer, which eliminated some bugs and weird behavior that you may have experienced. This has also prepared us for some major new features coming in version 2 of Kaura!
Navigation has also been refactored to utilize the latest iOS NavigationStack, which will allow for some fun new enhancements.
Images and video loading should be much smoother now with the cached image loader.
A bug was fixed that reset your default template when signing out.
A bug was fixed that showed your current streak as multiple streaks. Now, your current streak should in fact look like one streak.
Improvements have been made to push notifications, which will improve reliability and opens the door to new, configurable notification types (coming soon).
Volume control has been fixed for Members that use the watchOS version of Kaura. You can now control volume using the Digital Crown.

Sessions are now more appropriately grouped by date in the statistics screens. This more accurately represents streaks, which are defined by days in which a session was completed.
The home screen now includes a new page for updates from the Kaura team! This will help keep fresh content in the app and act as a fun way for us to introduce new features, tips, albums, and more!
We've significantly improved the performance surrounding album artwork and animations.
You can no longer complete a session with a duration of 0 seconds.

Library update! The Kaura Library now offers the ability to browse by artists, albums, and tracks, you can also view the top tracks based on number of plays, and everyone should experience an improvement when scrolling within the Library.

2023-06-22
While this version is mostly about building the foundation for upcoming features, there are a few bug fixes and performance improvements and some slight modifications to the experience:
Selecting bells for your soundscape has been improved!
The "shake to reset" feature has been updated. If you've selected a template and modified its settings, shaking your device will now reset the currently selected template to its originally saved settings. Previously, shaking the device would reset to your default template. We think this will be much nicer!

You can now select a template as your default session settings! If you have templates created, a default template will be chosen for you. You can change this default template in Kaura's Settings screen. If you don't have any templates, sessions will default to a 20 minute meditation segment with a 3 minute ascension segment.
Introducing a new shake gesture to reset your session settings! Shake your device to reset timers and soundscapes to your default session settings.
Updates have been made to the session action buttons to be a bit more clear and less confusing—especially for new users! Yay!

The home and session screens have been combined into one epic view! We’re gearing up for a fantastic new home screen experience.
Session timers are now simplified and much cleaner looking. We think you'll like what's coming next. ;-)
More information about Bells has been added to the Meditation Soundscape settings.
We’ve added more improvements to how segment times are being rounded in an effort to alleviate segment times being off by one second when saved to your history.

We smoothed out some of the Settings features to be a bit more clear surrounding Mindful Minutes and Apple Health. Reporting your Mindful Minutes will now be entirely controlled within the Health app. There is no more toggle in Kaura's settings to turn this on or off. This way, you can control everything with one toggle, instead of two.

We updated the "Times You Meditate" chart style in preparation for upcoming home screen improvements.
Kaura now shows if a session was started from a template that was modified on the Session Complete screen, allowing you to save the new changes or a new template from the modifications.
An update was made in Settings to the Apple Health preferences if you revoked access to Apple Health, making it more clear that you must give Apple Health permission in your system settings if you wish to report Mindful Minutes.
We fixed some bugs that caused some Bells to get a bit squirrely.
Added more information about ascension to the ascension soundscape settings.
Fixed an issue where the session would keep playing even if Kaura was terminated. Session will now pause!
