v2.2.2

Manual Notes

• Branch, Build Date, Latest Version, and Blacklisted Version Display: The app now displays essential version information directly within the interface. It will check for newer versions and show if the current version is “blacklisted,” meaning it has bugs that make updating to a new version important.
  • GitHub archives the build version information, so it may take 24 hours after the release before current information appears in your app on your phone
• Version Notifications: Receive notifications for new versions, blacklisted versions, and build expirations to ensure you are always up-to-date.
• Removed Download Loop/iAPS Data Toggle: Streamlined the user interface by removing the unnecessary toggle. The same effect can be achieved by a combination of other settings. This setting was a common source of error when it was forgotten to be enabled. The app now runs as if this setting is on.
• Nightscout Entries with Glucose Key: Improved data handling; this allows the glucose entered in the Nightscout careportal to be plotted on the LoopFollow graph.

What's Changed

• Allow bg entries as glucose by @bjorkert in #292
• Display branch, build date, latest version, blacklisted version by @bjorkert in #295

v2.2.1

Manual Notes

Version 2.2.1 has been released:

• Recommended Bolus Alert:
  • Stay on top of your management with alerts for recommended boluses. The default sound is a catchy drum beat that visually connects with the snooze screen. Customize the alert thresholds to suit your preferences.
• Paste URL with Token:
  • Setting up has never been easier! You can now paste the entire URL, including the token, directly into the URL field. Just copy the URL+token from Nightscout (e.g., https://my.nightscout.com/?token=demo-3eda1548fee5d314) and you’re good to go!

As usual, the new version is available as a browser build and a Mac-Xcode build. Don't forget that LoopFollow is available as three different apps for those of you with more than one Looper.

What's Changed

• Add support for pasting URL with token to populate both fields by @bjorkert in #290
• Add recommended bolus alert by @bjorkert in #291

  • Now, manual blood glucose values entered in Loop or Apple Health are available in LoopFollow.
  • We've also fixed a bug where mmol/L manual BG checks from Nightscout weren't displaying correctly.
• URL Sanitization and Validation:
  • We've enhanced the user experience by ensuring that URL input is sanitized—any characters not allowed in a URL are automatically removed.

  • This makes spoken content easier to understand.

v2.1.9

Manual Notes

This update to LoopFollow focuses on enhancing the speaking of glucose values and clarifying notifications for stale data and looping status. Here’s what’s new:

1. Enhanced Speaking Features: SpeakBG Enhancements: Dive into unprecedented customization with the new settings that allow you to selectively configure which glucose readings are spoken. Tailor your experience to focus only on the information that matters most to you—whether it's alerts for significant highs or lows, or proactive notifications for predicted lows. Additionally, every time your levels return to a normal range, you’ll receive a spoken reassurance alert, ensuring peace of mind.

   • Updates can now be received in your preferred language with options to expand language support; your input on additional languages and translation assistance is welcomed!
   • To add a language, examine the examples found here: https://github.com/loopandlearn/LoopFollow/blob/v2.1.9/LoopFollow/Controllers/Alarms.swift#L928-L959
   • Provide those 4 phrases in your desired language via a PR or Issue in LoopFollow or ask on Facebook

2. Improved Badge Notifications: Stale Data Management: To keep you updated at a glance, the badge number on the app icon will now be cleared when BG data becomes stale (older than 12 minutes).

3. Updated User Interface: Not Looping Indicator: If there's no evidence of looping for 12 minutes, a 'Not Looping' alert will now display below the BG value. This also appears on the Snoozer screen. There is an alarm for 'Not Looping' with selections for when your want to be alerted. This feature helps you quickly identify and address potential issues with Loop.

4. App Expiration: Information regarding app expiration is removed for builds intended to run on a Mac, as these builds do not expire.

We solicit your feedback as we continue to refine and adapt LoopFollow to better serve our community. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or suggestions!
