If only they had release notes pushed at the same time... that‘s where the meat is at.

 

[Ansath]

Didn't seem like a big file, but I missed the sizes in the excitement. All I noticed that it downloaded fast, now just on the lovely 'Preparing Update' phase.

Check the release notes, cos at the moment, no-one will have it installed yet to check. Give it another 20 minutes, or so ☺️

How is it that we’re on beta 7 and the temperature of the weather widget still doesn’t match the temp in the app?

Consistently a degree off, whether it’s the main temp or the high/low.
