LOAM 0.6.2

LOAM 0.6.2 makes two changes before the Google Play release. Full details are in the changelog.

Two new rules: no nudity or sexual content, and no gore

Graphic pictures or videos of violence or injuries are allowed only to get someone help. The rules are now version 2, so everyone already on a network sees the Welcome screen again and agrees once more before their next post. The new rules are on the Welcome screen and at /rules, in all 15 languages.

No usage reports to Google from the QR scanner

The Android app reads link codes in setup with Google's ML Kit. ML Kit reports the phone's model and Android version, the app's name and version, a per-install id, timings and error codes to Google, and has no setting to turn that off. 0.6.0 and 0.6.1 sent those reports, when the phone had internet, after the scanner was opened. 0.6.2 removes the library's upload route, so the reports are discarded on the phone. Nothing from a LOAM network was ever in them.

Updating

0.6.2 installs over 0.6.1 as an update. If you still run 0.5.0 or 0.6.0 (com.loamnet.host), read the 0.6.1 notes first: the app's name changed there.
