1.4
2014-10-03
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
• Updated to support full resolution on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
• Updated for iOS 8
• Minor enhancements
1.3.1
2014-06-07
- Improved view options menu
- Updated app icon
1.3
2014-03-27
This update is required to support a new filename format for Curiosity Mastcam, MAHLI and MARDI images. Previous versions of the app cannot display images with the new filename format in the panoramic view, so you will need this update in order to see them. Also, the data set for previous versions of the app will stop being updated at some point.
Other changes in this version:
- Some additional support for written content.
- iAd now only appears when viewing the home page in the web view.
- Adjusted brightness of calibrated MER Pancam images to better match background Navcam images.
- Bug fixes and minor improvements.

Experimenting with ad placement to get it off the main view.

Another fix for asynchronous loading.

Another fix for asynchronous metadata loading.
1.2.3
2013-11-13
- Fixed an issue with metadata loading.
- Changed the app icon label on the home screen from "Midnight" to "M Planets".
- Another update will follow, with another fix for metadata loading.
1.2.2
2013-11-06
- Simplified app icon more in keeping with iOS 7.
- Put the Vision and Site options on the main level of the View Options menu to make it faster and easier to use.
- Removed full screen ads. Banner ads now appear for 35 seconds, then go away for a while.

- Bug fixes.
1.2.1
2013-10-17
- Re-ordered toolbar icons
- Bug fixes
1.2
2013-10-04
- Support for iOS 7
- User interface improvements
- Bug fixes
1.1
2013-06-21
- Support for MER-A Spirit.
- Support for calibrated, archival-quality images for Spirit and Opportunity (MER). These images are processed to optimize download time and storage requirements and hosted by Midnight Planets. They appear automatically in the app for archived sols that Midnight Planets has processed. For Opportunity, archived images are released after a few months' delay; for recent sols "raw" images are displayed. (Some archival data for Curiosity is available, but processing it is going to require additional effort.)
- Disabled auto-zoom on image selection. Image selection now works in a more standard, predictable way. Double-tap images to quickly zoom and center them.
- Added a scene brightness setting in view options.
- Important bug fixes and performance improvements.
- Updated app icon.
- For advanced users: there is now a 'missing images' option in the manual view settings for MER, which displays images which are not available but for which metadata exists. This option is not available for MSL, as the public does not have access to MSL metadata as such.
- The "Close Ad" button is now enabled after five seconds.
