So version 1.25 of SKipper app has been released to all users. I would like to thank everyone that downloaded the app and are using it! Appreciate it!
NEW
- Touch gestures – added new support for touch gestures! You can enable/disable them in the settings. When enabled, you can pull from all sides of the screen to make some action!
- Sounds – notifications are no longer silent; support for sounds specific to warning, alert+alarm and emergency states!
- Vector Image control – this new control allows you to show custom icons, gauges and system status dashboards! All you need is to create an SVG and use SKipper Instructions to put Signal K data into it! More about SKipper Instructions is available at Instructions.
- Autopilot control– SKipper actions (driven by button) allows user to control Signal K autopilot plugin – support for Signal K Autopilot API with automatic detection. (Confirmed working with PyPilot and Autopilot plugin.)
- Anchor watch control – SKipper actions (driven by button) allow user to enable and configure anchor watch using Anchor alarm plugin!
- Boat image and indicators – you can now change the boat image for the Modern Compass and add boat status by placing multiple indicators showing your boat status at a glance!
- Fluid Gauge – new fluid gauge that is great for showing tank level with liquid-like animation.
- SKipper paste – now you can share pages with friends via a SKipper-run online service. It’s open source and available here: https://github.com/SKipperDevelopers/skipper-paste
- Instructions converter – This is a preview of using the Instructions runtime to modify Signal K data in SKipper. For now, you can use if value, value in range and output instructions. We’ll be adding more interesting instructions that would allow manipulation of Signal K data in future.
- Graph – New property „line thickness“ that allows you to change the graph line thickness to a user-defined value.
- Button – added Confirm action property that will make SKipper ask for confirmation when clicking on button. Valuable for potentially dangerous actions or the system shutdown button.
- Templates – added new templates for Autopilot control Page, anchor alarm Page and solar charging Page (a vector image that can be customized by the user).
- Signal K server – added a „Switch server“ option that will allow you to switch between servers. more
FIXED
- TitleValue – when Signal K value changes to null, TitleValue will now present this as –.
- Notifications – notifications with Alert, Alarm, and Emergency stay for 15 minutes; Warning will show only for 10 seconds.
- Graph – Zones – fixed colors for Alert and Emergency.
- Dark Red theme makes the Icons bar color red.
- Android – fixed compatibility with Android 15 and 16 where keyboard didn’t work as expected.
