Verison 2.0.3 / 2024-04-04

• Using "adb backup", ist was possible to extract images from the device and, with a little expertise, to show them. This problem was solved. Thanks to Alex for the hint.

Verison 2.0.2 / 2024-01-10

• Compatibility with Android 14. (time lock for images was thrown out of the play store for some months because Google now requires apps to target recent Android versions. I hope I find the time to keep it in. I realize it is hard to keep up if you do it only once every third year. Still it is pretty much fun.)
• Fixed the "delete from gallery" function.
• Update the web- und backup-site to a more recent symfony version.

Version 2.0.1 / 2020-10-06

• Add backup service: Time lock for images can optionally forward your images to the time lock for images backup service. The time lock for images backup service is a web site which hides your images exactly the same way the app does, but is independent. In case of a device failure the images are available there as soon as they would have been available in the app.
• Major refactoring for compatibility with new android versions. I hope the stability has not suffered.

Version 1.08 / 2017-07-15

• Fixed some crashes which had been reported through play store.

Version 1.07 / 2017-03-27

• Notification on image release
• User interface enhancements
• Camera: Optional movable and resizeable cover for preview hides critical spot when taking an image
• Workaround for android bug: On some devices crash on touch in released image view

Version 1.05 Build 31 / 2017-01-30

• better messages to the user in case of connectivity problems when determining true time; simpified connectivity checks
• fixed bug: "show release time" now disabled when switched off until time expires; did not work on all android versions

Version 1.04 Build 27 / 2017-01-29

• added suggestion dialog to rate the app
• faster image view (using subsampling)
• use time sources from Internet only, not device clock (can still use the app offline if it had Internet connection once since first start)
• show true time in title bar if it differs from system time
• fixed bugs

Version 1.03 Build 22 / 2017-01-21
