modRana 0.50.x has been released!

New modRana release is finally here with various highlights!

Automatic tile refresh for dynamic layers
ModRana now automatically redownloads tiles for dynamic tile layers (such as traffic, weather, etc.) if the cached tile is older than a given per-layer threshold. So often updated map layers should now up to date.

Network mode setting in Qt 5 GUI
It is now possible to switch between full and minimal (don't download map tiles automatically) in Options->Network in the Qt 5 GUI.

Thanks a lot to Fredric Ferner for contributing these two improvements!

Android support
ModRana now also finally works on Android. Thanks a lot to Thomas Perl for helping me to get my Android PyOtherside expeiriments to a usable shape and thus making modRana on Android possible!

Also I'm really glad that "modRana alumni" who left the Maemo world for Android might be able to enjoy modRana yet again!

ModRana is using the Qt 5 GUI on Android and should generally provide the same features as when running on Sailfish OS or on desktop with the Qt 5 GUI.

So go ahead and grab the latest modRana Android APK and report any issues!
