v2.2.0: the rail, and sharper cells

2.2.0 is mostly about the connection rail telling you the truth, plus a sharpness fix on iPad.

  • The rail says what's happening. It now says "Connecting…" while an initial connect is still retrying, and "Unsupported" when Companion is too old to talk to. A too-old Companion re-probes silently, with no loud Reconnecting band for it.
  • Honest resting states. The spinner only spins for a dial that's actually in flight. A disconnected surface looks disconnected. The version-too-old screen has a Retry that works, replacing a Disconnect button that led nowhere.
  • Sharp cells on iPad. The main surface registers at 144px, and dashboards ask Companion for high-res bitmaps, so large cells and sparse tiles stop looking soft (#415).
  • The Satellite port is out of your way. It's behind an Advanced disclosure in the connection editor now. Editor fields are labeled properly too (#420).
  • Restore re-scans entitlements, so a grandfathered unlock sticks.
  • Dashboard fix: inserting a dashboard before populating its items (#430).
  • Cosmetic: a button press shows a local white outline only; the launch screen is pinned dark.

Companion 4.3+ required. iOS / iPadOS 17 or later.

Update in the App Store.
