GasBook

So we tried. In the last release we tried to fix the issue with the missing decimal point on keyboard after iOS4 upgrade. The root cause of the problem is rather obscure: Apple didn't provide an easy way for adding the decimal point on the number pad and we had to resort to some custom methods to make it show up. Unfortunately iOS4 changed the inner workings of the keyboard and made the decimal point disappearing. We started working on it immediately and didn't find a good way to make it come back, under the pressure to fix the problem as soon as possible. So we resorted to a trick which was described in our last post: we automatically enter a decimal point after the first digit. We thought it was a clever work around. Instead, it was stupid. As the numerous bug reports we have received pointed out, we simply forgot what you would like to use in normal circumstances. The fix was ignoring the fact that many people usually add fuels more than 10 gallons. Now it's impossible to enter the fuel log. We've been really drunk and stupid.

We went back to the problem and decided to fix it completely. Luckily we've been able to work out a solution which brings the keyboard decimal back. It'll behave exactly like it was before. We submitted the fix to Apple, and you should be able to get it within a week.

However, we know you've been waiting for this fix for two weeks or longer. We're sincerely sorry. Lessons learned:

1. We'll test our bug fixes more thoroughly.

2. We'll keep ourselves away from alcohol. They're not good for health anyway.

And thank you. You make us realize that this app is helping you with your life. We're deeply touched.

This release is primarily for bug fixes (Yeah, we wish we didn't need but bugs are hard to extinguish despite our day-and-night fight!) Below are the list of bugs we fixed:

Bug fixes
- Fixed crashes with custom date range reporting
- Fixed missing vehicle information after editing
- Fixed gas station price updates after reporting. We perform price checks when price is reported. If it's validated, price will be updated immediately.
- Other small fixes.

Thank you for providing us feedbacks and reporting bugs. If you're happy with our app, please feel free to review our apps in App Store and help others by reporting up to date prices!
