This release brings enhancements and bug fixes including widgets, a new multithreading architecture, and multiple remote control modules per type.

Remember that some features only work on head units that support that feature.

Specs Supported

Change Highlights

Enhancements

  • The autocomplete options for users in searchable choice sets and popup keyboards can now support more than one item (#790).
  • Added the ability for the module to turn on or off a gesture to dismiss the lock screen 鈥撀爐his can also be disabled on the developer side (#932).
  • The RPC session can now be encrypted when the head unit has the capability and desires it. This allows all RPCs, or a subset, to be encrypted over the wire similar to the current capability with video data (#1163).

  • Support multiple modules per remote control module type (#1272).
  • A tile layout is now supported for the main menu and sub-menus (#1276).

  • Fixed the permission manager processing permission updates incorrectly (#965).
  • Multithreading throughout the iOS library has been re-implemented for simplicity and speed (#1028).

  • Fixed second phone connecting to head unit over iAP disconnecting the first phone (#1431).
  • More information is logged when asserts occur due to type mismatches (#1439).
