What's New
Pennant has been going strong since it's release and will only get better with the great user feedback that keeps coming in.
This version offers improvements across the board,including:
Enhanced Graphics:
Anti-aliasing, providing much smoother graphics.
Fonts:
Font rendering has also been greatly improved. Type should appear sharper with improved legibility.
Previous Park Locations:
Parks that have changed names frequently (IE AT&T, SBC and Pacific Bell Park in San Fran) now show all park names.
Season statistics:
Statistical errors have been corrected, offering increased accuracy across the board.
Map Corrections:
Somehow left Maine off the map (Sorry to the fine citizens of Maine who have alerted me to this). Now on the map and back in the Pennant union :)
Navigational Improvements:
Going back to a previous screen should now save your spot rather than defaulting to the center item.
Overall Performance:
Startup black screen should no longer happen. Crashes on startup should also be greatly diminished, however if you do suffer from this please restart your iPad and everything should work fine.
Please feel free to contact me if you find any more issues or have any general feedback.
