• Reports include the total distance
• A bigger, multiline box is used to enter notes. The notes field in the trip view is sized to fit the length of the note.
• When deleting a category, all trips it contains are deleted (after asking for confirmation)
• End odometer value is updated when distance is set
• When entering distance and odometer readings, invalid characters from the keyboard are ignored
• Default email subject for reports is now "Tripometer Vehicle Travel Report"
• When Tripometer is closed and reopened, the list views remember their scroll positions
• Fixed issues with scrolling and the toolbar
• Memory leak fixes (makes Tripometer less likely to crash after heavy use)

The Jimmy Fund is a great local cause, so we jumped at the chance to donate 40 copies of Tripometer. We'll provide another update once the fundraiser starts. If you just can't wait to buy Tripometer but also want to help out, consider making a gift directly to the Jimmy Fund.

We've also worked on our email server to make report emails more likely to go through. Unfortunately, some email systems are pretty hardcore about blocking suspected Spam, so some emails occasionally bounce. We're still working on consistently getting emails through to Earthlink addresses.

We ran into an issue where the library we're using to create the emails (Swift Mailer, highly recommended) was taking massive amounts of memory to encode the HTML part of the email. A 30 kB file was requiring over 20 MB of memory. That was causing problems for our server, so reports with more than 50 to 100 items wouldn't go through. (It turned out that switching to base64 encoding for the HTML got around a very inefficient quoted-printable encoder in the current version of Swift.)

Fortunately, many of these issues will become a thing of the past once we release the next version of Tripometer. Tripometer 1.3 will take advantage of the new features in iPhone OS that let us send emails directly from the app instead of having to upload the data to our server to be detailed). We're hard at work to make 1.3 our best release yet.
