- NEW: Use your voice to trigger the camera. In Event Settings -> General you can add a Siri shortcut so that you can trigger the camera with 'Hey Siri _your phrase here_'. At the moment Siri only supports reacting to one voice, which means Siri will only react to your voice (not your guests' voices).
- IMPROVED: You can now set a zero-second camera countdown. This works with some but not all cameras - if you experience problems, please increase the time to at least 1 second.
- IMPROVED: If you disable actions in the gallery, the action bar takes up less space than before.

- FIXED: Changing the e-mail 'from' display name did not work if Wifibooth was using SoloLink for internet access.

4.10.0:
- NEW: The gallery screen has been updated with a new look and feel. You can pinch the gallery to zoom it in/out to make more/less photos visible.
- NEW: Movies are made differently and are recorded as MP4 instead of GIF. If you need to go back to the old behavior, use the new setting in Event Settings -> General.
- NEW: Now you can set a manual live-view rotation in Event Settings -> Taking Photos. This enables cameras like the Canon T6 and Fuji X-series to shoot in portrait orientation.
- NEW: If your iOS device has multiple cameras, you can select which one to use: wide, ultra wide, or telephoto.
- NEW: More Gallery settings to control whether guests are able to take actions on multiple photos at once, which you may care about if your bandwidth is expensive.
- IMPROVED: Several performance tweaks have sped up the flow of taking photos and app start-up time, more noticeably on older iPads.
- FIXED: An issue that prevented slideshows from showing if collages were not being saved or had not been created.
- FIXED: Editing a photo or collage a second time applied the initial edits again.
- FIXED: Several issues that could cause the "Get these photos" QR code to not be shown, or deliver the wrong link.

4.9.4:
- BluePrint was renamed SoloLink

4.9.3:
- NEW: In the Share Center you can sort the e-mail addresses and phone numbers. This works for both the values being displayed and the values you export to other apps.

- NEW: Added a setting for Apple TV slideshows of 'Off', in case you want to mirror the whole display of the iPad.

- FIXED: a crash when a Panasonic camera live-view frame had corrupt data (occurred during zoom)
- FIXED: an issue that could cause Wifibooth to stop being able to print to an AirPrint printer after some time, or cause the status area to pop open periodically showing a printer error

- NEW: for cameras that do not support filesystem access, the filename from the camera is used if it is available
- NEW: added a printer setting that allows you to prevent printer connection errors from being shown in the status area popover
- NEW: a setting for slideshows to play from collages instead of individual photos

4.9.1: (no BluePrint update)
- Fixed an issue that could cause Wifibooth to hang when touching "Create Wordmark" on the branding settings page if the current event had a long name

4.9.0:
- NEW: Slideshows are here! During your event Wifibooth can play a slideshow of the event's photos or show the latest photo taken on Smart TVs (no app required), on Apple TVs (no app required), and on other iOS devices like your second iPad (Soloslides app on other iOS device required).
If your wifi is connected directly to the camera, you can still play a slideshow by running the Soloslides app on your second iPad - this will use Bluetooth to download the photos from Wifibooth.
The settings controlling slideshow functionality can be found on the "Global" settings page. Please use the help '?' icon at the top-left to learn how they work!
- IMPROVED: The email address you use when sending a test email is now remembered for next time
- CHANGED: It is now possible to change the gallery setting "Automatically go to gallery after taking photos" even if the "Start on the gallery screen" setting is turned on
- FIXED: Wifibooth will no longer complain that there is a newer version on the app store when this is patently untrue
- FIXED: In a rare network configuration, a camera that became disconnected would keep showing as connected even after temporarily changing to the device camera, which would prevent it from being connected again. If you experience a camera still showing as connected when it is not, temporarily change to the device camera and then back again.
- FIXED: Issues around turning off background liveview when using the device camera
- FIXED: An issue that caused you to be unable to go back to the home screen from the gallery screen if you changed the camera from EyeFi to another type

- NEW: The last connected DNP WPS printer is automatically remembered when Wifibooth opens.

SMTP users may need to enter their 'from' email address. Send a test email to make sure your settings are correct.
- NEW: added support for Canon PowerShot and Digital ELPH/IXUS cameras. Check wifibooth.com to see the updated list of supported cameras.

- FIXED: error message should not show when shooting RAW+JPG

- IMPORTANT: This update may have signed the app out of Dropbox, Twitter, Facebook, Email, and the Wifibooth Service. Please sign back in again (in Event Settings). Sorry for the one-time inconvenience (it was unavoidable due to iOS restrictions).
- NEW: Manual camera controls for the device camera. Set a fixed shutter speed to make sure you don't have blurry photos. If you're using a remote iPhone as the camera, good news: these new controls are available in BluePrint too!
- NEW: Share Center. Guests' email addresses and phone numbers are collected in the Share Center, and you can easily resend emails / texts after changing your settings. Access the Share Center from Event Settings.

- CHANGED: the filenames of photos from external cameras are used in emails, texts, and the Share Center.

4.6.3:
- NEW: Now you can upload the email background and logo directly from the app to the Wifibooth Service, instead of needing to host the files somewhere yourself. You can do this from the Event Settings -> Email screen.
- CHANGED: The email templates have been improved based on user-feedback. The changes are not major, but you should test that your emails still look like you expect.
- CHANGED: if you connect to a DNP WPS printer by manually entering an IP address, then the next time you try to connect, this same IP will be tried first automatically. Hopefully this means you don't have to type in any more IP addresses.
- FIXED: when you send a test Twilio text from the Event Settings page and something goes wrong, now you'll actually be told the error. That was uh, kind of the point of having a test button.
