  • #2 GIFification. It's going in. It's functional. We're not yet enabling it for an operator
  • #121 Nested configs. It's in. It seems to be working fine for a test operator config. We'll enable it for a real config soon.
  • #122 Thumbnail downsampling. It's in. It seems to be working fine for a test operator config. We'll enable it for a real config soon.
  • #124 MediaViewer. We put in a hack, so it's good to go from the W0 perspective.

  • iOS app submitted, expect release late this month. May spike mobile API usage.
  • Still interested in getting maps in the future, status updates on OSM welcome.
