Right. I forgot about that one. Yes, we should definitely fix the heat
maps. That's a regression.

Yes, that's my approach as well. The Beta releases that we used to do
really didn't work. Not enough people tested them and we still ended up
with quite a few problems in the .0 release. Instead I'm planning to
simply do a new point release every week or two until we are happy with
what we have.

Cool. I will do an updated Subsurface-mobile release as well if we have
new translations for that.
