Wow, the new UI is awesome, very good job. The auto scan feature works well, maybe it's a bit slow but very nice indeed.
small issue with autoscan : it seems to no go very high in frequency after each station found : I start searching at 89.00 and there is a small gap before finding next station but it goes up to 89.15 and back to 88.7 (first saved station).
Small "glitch" : in the station list, frequency for each station is only display with one decimal after comma, instead of two (since stepping is down to 50kHZ) : so you can get a station with 86.65 in the full UI and 86.7 in the station list.
App feels more stabile. Better UI. Bluetooth deactivates after 10 seconds which is alot better then before, for me at least. The autoscan is good.
It would be nice if the Prev/Next buttons reset after tuning into a good frequency in a scan. When a scan is started, the buttons are depressed (light color) but stay depressed after tuning in. tapping them to move to the next channel resets them to original position/color.
The deb changelog file is in the package or visible here: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/debian/changelog?root=fmradio&view=markup --- I avoid using the XB-Maemo-Upgrade-Description field as long as bug https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6187 isn't closed.
Is there a changelog? As far as I've seen there's a new UI, you are now able to scan within .05 intervals, and the radio doesnt stop anymore when you've locked the device.
