Changelog

This update is all about iCloud sync: faster uploads, smarter status reporting, and better behavior across all your Apple devices.

iCloud Sync

• Faster Sync: Part and tag photos are now optimized before upload, so new entries appear on your other devices much quicker and use far less iCloud storage.
• Account Awareness: AeroLog now detects when iCloud is unavailable or you're signed out, and tells you exactly what's going on.
• Clearer Sync Status: The sync menu now explains problems in plain language — no connection, full iCloud storage, and more.
• Pull to Refresh: Swipe down on your Logbook to push pending changes and update the sync status instantly.
• Folder Cleanup: Folders with the same name created on different devices now merge automatically into one.

Reliability & Polish

• Smoother Startup: Improved data protection at launch, even in rare storage edge cases.
• Better Error Handling: Bulk deletions now confirm success or clearly report a failure.
• Smaller Download: Trimmed unnecessary files for a lighter install.
