Releases: variablefate/ridestr
v0.2.7 - Lots of Bug Fixes
What's New
Driver (Drivestr)
- Per-follower mute — silence individual followers without rotating your RoadFlare key or affecting your other followers.
- Ride request pings — receive a heads-up notification when one of your followers wants you to come online for a ride.
Rider (Ridestr)
- Reorder payment methods — drag to set your preferred payment order; drivers can now see compatibility at a glance.
- Accurate fiat fares — fare amounts now match exactly between rider and driver (no more ~$1 drift from independent BTC price conversions).
- Better address search — improved geocoding with location-aware suggestions and privacy rounding.
- Easier driver sharing — share
roadflare.appprofile links instead of raw npubs.
Bug Fixes
- Correct app icons — fixed the rider app shipping with the driver's steering-wheel logo.
- Ride stability — fixed $0 fare bug, false "driver unavailable" alarms, phantom cancellations, and a class of race conditions in the offer/acceptance flow.
- RoadFlare reliability — auto-sync followers on startup, longer-lived key shares, better follow-notification handling, and fixes for stale key edge cases.
- Many smaller UI and stability improvements.
