Two fixes from user bug reports. Devices update automatically on their next check (Settings → Updates to check now).

Photo-frame screensaver: photos display the right way up

Photos served from a folder are now rotated to match how they were taken. Portrait shots from phone cameras were appearing sideways — and some landscapes upside-down — because phones save the raw sensor image plus a rotation tag in the file's EXIF metadata, and Immortal wasn't reading that tag. It now does, applying the correct rotation (or flip) before display. The built-in web photo feed was never affected.

Overnight sleep: tapping the screen lets you use the device

With Overnight sleep enabled, tapping the screen inside the overnight window woke it for a moment and then immediately locked again, on every tap — making the device unusable until the window ended. A deliberate tap now wakes the device and lets you use it normally; it returns to sleep a short while after you stop interacting. A stray wake with no interaction still goes back to sleep promptly.

Install / update: existing devices self-update over the air. For a fresh setup, download portal-kit.zip (the provisioning kit) and follow the README. immortal.apk is the signed app, also used by the OTA updater.
