Release - CacheMate 1.3.1 (Google Android) (January 18, 2010) 1 comment
This release adds a number of enhancements, most of which should help with the overall user-friendliness of the app. Basic support for Geocaching.com's cache attributes has been added, involving displaying them in the description text, which should work... it's difficult to know for sure until Groundspeak finally starts publishing them in GPX files, but support has been implemented using their specifications. The list view's secondary text options have also been revamped, to include as many or as few listable items as desired by the user. See the change history on the website for a full list of changes.
There are some things that would be nice, such as support for displaying points on the Google Maps topographical view and sending SMS field notes through Google Voice, but those aren't very possible until Google makes such features available.
Release - CacheMate 1.3.0 (Google Android) (December 10, 2009) 0 comments
This release contains a few fixes, and a lot of enhancements, including a few brand new features. The biggest of those are Twitter support (via TwiDroid, at least for now), background downloading of geocache images for offline viewing (with an option to limit to Wi-Fi connections only, for those dealing with wireless data limits), quick notes, and improvements made to search functionality (for one, you'll find CacheMate listed in the searchable items for the Quick Search Box in Android 1.6 and later). The fixes include a couple of issues related to Android 2.0 and the Motorola Droid. See the change log for a full list of changes.
Also, Android 1.5 is now the minimum OS version supported by CacheMate. If you downloaded the program outside of Android Market, make sure you're running at least that version of the OS (shouldn't be a problem for most).
In other news, Google has finally fixed the update crash problem that has plagued users of CacheMate on Android 1.6 and later. The fix is in version 2.0.1 of the OS. Until you can get that update, you'll need to uninstall CacheMate before you can install the update.
Release - CacheMate 1.2.5 (Google Android) (November 15, 2009) 0 comments
I was hoping to hold off on the next release until Google could fix their package installer bug, making updates seamless again, but it seems fate wasn't in agreement. This release fixes a bug in CacheMate (crash due to apostrophes in waypoint ID field), and works around a bug in the current Motorola Cliq build of Android (crash in mapping library when GPS is enabled). A couple of small enhancements were added as well... waypoint URL links in the HTML notes report, and a "Center on Google Maps" mapping option for single waypoints. The latter should make it a little easier to get driving directions out of Google's Maps application.
Release - CacheMate 1.2.4 (Google Android) (October 1, 2009) 0 comments
This is a quick bug fix release, addressing a locale-related problem with the distance filter. It was apparently missed when other related fixes were made back in May, and not reported for all this time... not until the behavior changed in the last release.
Release - CacheMate 1.2.3 (Google Android) (September 30, 2009) 0 comments
The biggest part of this release is the option to store CacheMate databases on the memory card, saving the device's internal storage for other things. There is also an option to disable a database speed boost in the GPX import plugin, which should alleviate "out of memory" errors for those few people that have seen them. A couple of smaller changes have been made, as well.
Release - CacheMate 1.2.2 (Google Android) (July 29, 2009) 0 comments
This release improves support for GPX/LOC downloads, adding not only the official (though not universally used) MIME type for GPX files, but also the ability to handle Android's "content" URI scheme. The latter allows attachments "previewed" in version 1.5 of the GMail application to be processed correctly.
Release - CacheMate 1.2.1 (Android) (June 19, 2009) 0 comments
A month after the initial public release, CacheMate for Android seems to finally resemble something solid. This release greatly improves the speed of distance/bearing updates for the waypoint list view, as well as fixing a bug in the map view that could cause a crash if tapped before the points were fully loaded.
For those that can't dive into using an app without a manual, documentation is now complete as well, which can be accessed from the Help menu option of the database list. Next on the list is documenting the specifics of the plugin mechanism, for those that might want to try their hand at extending CacheMate.
