Release v0.10.2 - New season fixes

Changelog

Warning

I had to do another release because of a configuration issue on my side. Also, my account is flagged by GitHub everytime I publish a release, therefore the repo can disappear for some hours after I publish a new release (the time for me to send a reinstatement request...)

Warning

If you have an error on the home screen, you need to delete the app's cache and the app's data. You will lose your downloads and settings. I'm sorry for this, but this is because of the cache (and also an updated API, not from my side).

Warning

Standings will appear after the first Grand Prix. I don't manage the routes to the data, therefore I can't make tests ahead of a new season, I have to wait too in order to release fixes.
Be aware that the app is currently in maintenance mode (for some 3 or 4 months I think) (see #168)

Bugfixes 🐛

• Fix race hub (that was the home news issue)
• Fix schedule
• Fix results

Improvements 📈

• New transitions after bumping Flutter to a newer version

The Codeberg mirror is being updated again.

Release 0.10.1 - Last 4 rounds & new championship (beta)

Changelog

Warning

This release breaks the home news filter. If you use this feature, please do not update. There are important fixes and features that still need to be pushed anyway. It will be fixed in the next release.

Bugfixes 🐛

• Fix standings order, use new route (related to #200).
• Fix schedule screen image.
• Fix notifications scheduled even if not activated.

Improvements 📈

• Beta: multiple championship. Box, Box! now supports Formula 1, Formula E, Formula 2, Formula 3 and F1 Academy (still in beta) with a dedicated screen to choose the championship. This took me a lot of time, that's why the update comes a bit late. It still lacks some features, but I wanted to release important fixes to the F1 championship.

Note

Routes for new championships are not yet in BB Server. Therefore, use the official server when you use new championships.

• New MD3 bottom bar (not disappearing anymore) & bottom sheets everywhere!! The app should feel more fluid now!

You should download the APK depending on your CPU architecture. If you do not know it, download the universal APK.
