Version 2.4.2 Work In Progress

This thread will show some of the new features and fixes coming in the next version (version 2.4.2)

So far I've fixed about 3 bugs, and I've hopefully improved the lock updates that weren't always registering properly so the keyholder and lockee were seeing different things. I've still got to do some testing with this one and it's still not going to be 100% perfect. This did get a bit messy, and required me rolling back to 2.4.1 and starting again.

I've also added in the option to share locks via URL links. In the screenshot attached you will see there's two ways of sharing the lock now, the QR code way, or with a URL link which looks like this: https://www.chastikey.com/sharedlock/98L96P8FJN2564W

Clicking the link will open the app and load the shared lock information for you to pick the available options. I've wanted this in the app for a long time.

I've got every Friday and Monday off from work now until the middle of December so will use a lot of those to work on this.

Great work Kevin! Thanks

Dear David,
Thank you for working at next version!

I'm having to put development of this version on hold for a while in order to set up a new server and run some tests with the app and moving things over with minimal disruptions. I don't expect this being something that I will have up and running within a couple of days so I can't say yet how long things will take.

Thanks, Kevin
for all your work & great ideas. Don?t forget: The perfect is the enemy of the good🤓. And this app is just GREAT 👍👋

In 2.4.2 you will be able to see a true estimate for a variable lock when creating or loading one. The app runs the lock and its settings through 100 test runs in the background and within a second or so and then returns the best, average and worst case data.

Here's some screenshots showing the results and the lock settings each was tested against

It's real time too so it runs through the simulation each time you make a change (it doesn't seem to create a noticeable lag)

I love the new time estimate idea! Far better than just making our own test locks and then drawing them with the delays to test!

Definitely looking forward to that time estimate feature. I made a small change to the lock I used last month and as a result I may end up doubling or tripling my time locked record.  Guess I'm in it for the long haul this time!
