Known Issues
Images which are flipped or mirrored do not behave properly when using pinch-zoom.
Images which are flipped or mirrored may have thumbnail display issues.
Native-resolution images are shown on iPad, often resulting in small video. An option will be available in the next release to toggle this behaviour.
Control button is not appearing when using the new Wowwee camera profile.
Some older devices (like iPhone 3G) have reported that the app is closing due to "out of memory" conditions. This is likely caused by attempting to view cameras with high resolution images or video. We are investigating.
General features - IPv6 support (host field now allows "[" and ":" characters) - Added "Rotate 90" and "Rotate 270" to the list of supported image orientations - Reintroduced "shake to randomize". When viewing "random cameras" you can shake the phone to load a new set of random cameras. - Cameras are now shown in native resolution if they are smaller than the display. This is more noticeable on iPad devices and results in a crisper (yet smaller) image. We intend to provide a toggle for this behaviour in the 5.0 release. Simply pinch to expand the image if you wish to zoom in.
