Build 0.5 (3)
November 6, 2024
This update includes new localizations for zh-Hans (Simplified Chinese), zh-Hant (Traditional Chinese), zh-HK (Hong Kong variant). Along with improved effect and filter transitions, updated color science, and preset tweaks.

Build 0.5 (2)
October 30, 2024
This update is heavily focused on performance and stability. And to that end, the camera output and image processing pipelines have been overhauled. In terms of processing, much of the rendering is now handled by Metal to free up processes that may be CPU-bound. As for memory usage, new auto release functions have been added to improve stability and to prevent leakage and spikes. For high resolution capture, processing times are now up to 4 times faster while consuming less resources.
Image saving is now done in the background, so the photo will be saved to the camera roll even if you exit the app.
New info screens have also been added to offer clarity on camera features and provide context.
Interface and localization improvements have also been introduced.

This update introduces a new level indicator. Prism blur now reflect saturation and vibrance values, and Control Pad logic has been updated to better reflect effect variations. Grain and bloom filters now better reflect what is displayed in the viewfinder.
Other quality of life improvements have also been added, such as animation fixes, improved Preset and Filter logic, and blocking spam captures to prevent device hangs.

This one is for the older phones and users experiencing crashing. Going forward, Potte will require iOS 18 or above for stability reasons. Image capture and camera processing has been rewritten to further reduce the chances of crashing.
Additionally, Potte now supports physical lens switching. This feature detects the available camera lenses and switches them based on zoom level. A selfie camera option has to been added.
Further interface improvements and optimizations have been introduced as well.
