Hello Again,
We noticed we were preventing some of you from taking a picture of your beautiful self while signing up. This has been fixed! We'd like to extend our humblest apologies and encourage everyone to now selfie away.
We're also adding a new Pretty Darn Fantastic, or PDF, feature! It's PDFs! You'll now be able to view PDFs from messages. Wait that is confusing; our new PDF feature is PDFs? Yup, but the Portable Document Format kind. I definitely didn't know what PDF stood for before this. Enjoy!
Besides PDFs, what is something you find pretty darn fantastic? Let us know that or if you've seen any bugs in Bonfyre at support@bonfyreapp.com!
** Bug fix: There was a hiccup in viewing the PDFs. They are now ready to be viewed at your leisure! **

Greetings from your favorite electronic pesticidal developers!
We've got a major new feature in the oven and it is ALMOST ready to be released. Soon, so very soon! In the mean time, we've been fixing some bugs too and we'd like to get these out to you as soon as possible.
First up, we fixed a layout glitch in the Community Terms of Use dialog that would block users from entering a community.
Next up, we rewrote some code that was keeping a few users from being able to submit Surveys and Quick Polls. The upside is that submission is faster now!
Also, we fixed how the #hashtag view displays so that it properly matches themed Bonfyre communities.
And, we fixed a bug that did not allow some password resets to proceed.
Lastly, we made some minor tweaks to some of the interactions in the sign up views and fixed another rare crasher.

Remote greetings!
We’ve got some bug fixes and some major maintenance updates which you should simply not even notice.
First up, we fixed a sporadic bug where creating a new Bonfyre community would not be possible because our code to check that the name was unique was not working right. We got it right this time. We promise! party-hat-emoji
Next up, we fixed a mistake (mea culpa) in how our new Chat-Translation feature is implemented so that it was not available to client employees. face-palm-emoji
And then we updated all the things. In technical terms, we’ve been using old iOS frameworks marked as deprecated. This means they work, but at some point, our favorite fruit flavored technology company is gonna remove them. Some of these are approaching 5 years old, so the risk of them being removed was getting very real. So we updated the code. hooray-emoji
We updated the framework used for accessing the camera and your photo library. We also updated the framework used for processing remote push notifications. And lastly, we went through our code and fixed all but a few of the instances of other deprecation warnings. computer-emoji
Fascinating stuff…to us nerds. To you, this just means we cleaned out the refrigerator and replaced some old things. spring-cleaning-emoji
So all in all a pretty boring, but substantial update. More cool stuff in the next update! anticipation-emoji

Hello from my super quiet home office chair!
It was getting squeaky so we ordered some silicon based lubricant and, OH WOW, it is so quiet! My spouse is even happier than I am. I like to bounce a lot when I am rocking out to some EDM while I code! Anyways, I digress. You're not here to read about my sheltering-in-place practices. You want to know what is up with this release of Bonfyre!
Here's the lowdown:
- We're working on a new feature that is partially done, but not all the way done. So look for it to be announced in the next release. It is trés magnifique!
- We fixed a bug in how we handle deep links so that emails with links to Bonfyre will ONLY open Bonfyre if the app can handle them. CSVs will now open in Safari. Safari should ask if you'd like to use another qualifying app on your phone.
- We fixed a bug where the bottom border of Announcements with images would not be drawn when there was a trailing comment.
- We fixed a bug where Friend Requests would not display in the Friend Requests view.
- We fixed a bug where using the keyboard swipe to type feature would freeze and crash the app.
- We upgraded some older libraries to newer versions using the Swift Package Manager. You should not care about this, but this is super cool to us!
So basically, we're working on improving the quality of Bonfyre and adding new features. But sometimes those features are just not all the way done. We are working trés rapidement on this new feature, so hang in there we'll have something new real soon!
Have you seen any trés unfortunate bugs in the app? Maybe something less than optimal? Or just an update on your shelter-in-place situation? Let us know at support@bonfyreapp.com!

Greetings from the home office! (I mean the office at my home, not the home office of Bonfyre. Gosh, I miss that place! Getting to see my co-workers, to talk face-to-face with other developers and designers, account managers and sales people, leadership, HR, the marketing peeps who have no idea I am writing this, and even the other people from other companies in our building who we see coming in or going home. I miss the fun peeps at my fave sandwich place at Daggett and Macklind. Hmmm, the Spicy Daggett sounds SOOO good right now!)
I have a feeling you know how I feel! Thankfully we both have Bonfyre! I am not out of the loop, that is for sure!
With this update, we've got a bug fix, a couple of fixes for infrequent background crashers, and a minor enhancement that came about as a result of some maintenance.
First up, we discovered a bug in our handling of links in the app. If you tapped some links, the app would ask if you wanted to accept an invitation to join a Bonfyre community. We fixed it so this doesn't happen. Truly, even if that was not a real invite, we love you and wish we could invite you to join our favorite Bonfyre communities!
Next up, we fixed a couple of background crashers. In these two cases, when the app tried to process link previews or parse chats with some special formatting in the background (when your phone is locked or you happen to be using another app. *gasp*) We fixed this. So Bonfyre should now be faster to launch those few times these background crashers would previously happen. Hooray for fewer crashes, even when you don't really know they're happening!
Lastly, we updated and streamlined what is called the polling utility. This feature basically just uses a timer to talk to our server so you know when there are new chats, surveys, or broadcasts while you are in the app. We've been wanting to do this for a while, and finally, we did it! SUCCESS! As an added benefit, when you are in the Activity tab of the app, we increased the frequency so that the badging is more up to date. Aw yeah!
I want to thank you for reading through my long, wordy, and unnecessarily detailed release notes. Seriously, thank you. You are the best!

Greetings from my couch!
We've got a small mixed bag of updates for you.
First is an enhancement. We've revamped the Bonfyre Community Welcome message to be a little cleaner. Additionally, it will now reflect the Large Text Accessibility setting.
Next up, we fixed some defects, one in the layout of surveys, another in an infrequent crasher, and lastly, videos from YouTube will now properly display a preview in the chat feed. Hooray for quality!
Lastly, we continued on-going maintenance of the app with some changes with an eye towards future work.
We've been distancing ourselves and missing our office. But we're doing our part and hope you are doing yours too!
Stay safe and report your Bonfyre bugs to support@bonfyreapp.com!

So if you experienced a crash while editing your skills list, viewing announcements, or experienced just an untimely crash, please update to this new release and try again!

Greetings from a distance!
We’ve been hard at work trying to make the Bonfyre experience more useful! We’ve got some enhancements and bug fixes for you.
First up, we’ve fixed a number of minor issues from our last major update. Mainly related to chat posting. Nothing major, but a few minor weirdnesses.
Next, we added some robustness to the account switching experience to reduce the likelihood of being accidentally logged out completely.
Lastly, we fixed a bug where the drop shadow on the last Survey or Quick Poll in the Survey Chooser view would be clipped. Important stuff!
Last year, we revamped the Activity tab of the app to better expose useful activity.
We continued that effort
- by adding all company recognitions (not just yours) to the Recognition feed
- renamed Broadcasts feed to Comms
- by moving Announcements from the Community feed to the Comms feed
We also enhanced the user experience by making infinite scroll work more seamlessly and added animations when switching feeds.
We also completed some maintenance which should not affect you, dear user! We upgraded some code from using older iOS frameworks to using newer ones. We also improved our crash logging to report better information on app state at the time of the crash. And we made yet another set of tweaks to our push notification implementation. This last one includes a new prompt for users who have switched phones without doing a restore from backup. This will allow all users, not just new users, to easily enable push notifications in Bonfyre.
Did we miss anything? Of course we did! Let us know when you find it at support@bonfyreapp.com!

Greetings from home!
We’ve been busy trying to make your social distancing feel less isolating and with this release, we’ve got some nice fixes. Nothing really new, just lots of rock solid quality for you!
First up, we revamped how your session in the app is managed. So now when you switch accounts, leave the app, come back to the app, ya know, basically do all the things, you stay logged in.
Next up, we re-examined all of our code around remote or push notifications to make sure you get your pushes if you want them.
Next, we had a very odd bug that only occurred occasionally, and we had a lot of difficulty reproducing. The solution was to completely revamp the code behind our Survey and Quick Polls feature. We then proceeded to test it. Then tested it again. And again. We’re pretty happy it is solid. We also tweaked a few things here and there, so submitting a survey will move along a little faster.
We had a couple of features we no longer supported that had vestigial representations of themselves in the app. We removed our fun, but chaotic Mystery Image feature completely. Yeah, we’re sad to see it go, but we’re not sad to have to delete the occasionally unwanted image. Next, we removed LinkedIn integration. We’re sad to see this go, but it had limited utility and was no longer working.
And that is not all. We reviewed our crash reports and fixed our 5 biggest crashers over the last few months and also fixed some small isolated bugs here and there. And did I mention we tested all of this?
Did we miss anything? Of course we did! Let us know when you find it at support@bonfyreapp.com!
You, dear user, are simply the best! Stay distant. Stay healthy. Stay engaged with Bonfyre!

Happy March!
In this release, we have one bug fix to make sure you get the push notifications you asked for us to send you!
Sadly, we broke this with an upgrade a while ago that breaks this with every upgrade since then, even though you might have re-enabled them. This should fix that for all users.
We're terribly sorry!

Welp, we heard from some users that sometimes for no reason at all they would need to login to Bonfyre again. This is not a great experience. I mean, our login experience is pretty neat and all, but if you just used Bonfyre, it should be ready and waiting for you to recognize a co-worker, make an announcement, take a survey or Quick Poll, share a thought, share a photo or video, get caught up with what your co-workers are up to, react to a message, or, well, anything Bonfyre can do!
We fixed at least one way this was happening and are keeping an eye on the situation to make sure this is fixed. If not, look for another update soon!

Happy Groundhog Day!
We've got a small feature enhancement in this update that merely makes sure you don't have a really bad password.
How does this work? Simply put, we securely apply a set of rules to your password to determine if it is a very bad password. If so, you just need to choose a new one! What is the easiest way to choose a good password? Use a Password Manager. Since you are right here in the App Store, do a quick search!
Have any fun password stories, questions about good password security, or any bugs to report? Let us know at support@bonfyreapp.com!
