Security update, plus pressure units and barometric altitude.

  • Security: updates Capacitor, the app's Android framework, to 8.4.3. It fixes a critical flaw in which a crafted link could load outside content as if it were the app. Please install this update.
  • Settings → Pressure unit: inches of mercury or hectopascals.
    • The in-flight strip shows the QNH in your unit.
    • METARs and airfield info show both, with yours first.
    • It follows you to your other devices with settings sync.
  • Settings → Altitude from: GPS (as before), or Barometer + QNH.
    • Barometer + QNH uses the phone's pressure sensor with the QNH, the same sum an altimeter does, so it reads like your altimeter, with much less jitter than GPS.
    • The altitude alerts use it too.
    • Without a sensor reading or a QNH, it falls back to GPS. The GPS details (tap the status line) say which one is in use.
    • Not for a pressurised cabin. Compare it with your altimeter before relying on it.

versionCode 25. Signed with the same key as 1.24, so it installs over it. Don't uninstall first: that erases your saved routes.

Install: open the APK and allow "install unknown apps". With Obtainium it shows up as an update.
