The new Wii Phone cycle, 3.0, is here!

Changelog v3.0:

  • Animations Hub! 🎉
    It's an in-app platform that lets you upload, browse and download animations from other users! More info at #announcements
  • Apps listing!
    Now you can hold the Wii Menu button in order to list all your apps, and open them directly without a channel!
  • And more!
    Many changes around the code in order to make the app more stable and faster (opening your list of animations shouldn't murder your phone anymore, for example)

Changelog v3.1:

  • Animations Hub's filters!
    You can now use 3 different filters in your query (for example, you can search ONLY for animations that use App Icon, or HIDE all static animations!)
  • Hub's Guidelines!
    Because of the huge amount of animations uploaded to the Hub, we've decided to implement some quality guidelines, and removed those animations that didn't fit them.
    You can find them at #hub-guidelines.
  • Many bugfixes!
    • Fix bug where review menu appears when clicking on author's name
    • Fix bug where page number gets overriden by reviews' page number
    • Fix bug where you needed to reselect icon/banner when updating it
    • Fix bug where leaving an animation without saving changes creates a Popup loop
    • Discard textures when query changes, so Unity doesn't run out of memory
    • Delay thumbnail retrieval, max 2/4 at once, so the query doesn't stay without thumbnails for several seconds anymore
    • Fix bug where icons stay white
    • Added warning in the animation platform for animations using a video, rather than actual animations, since they were more likely to crash the app

Changelog v3.2:

  • Removed Unity splash screen!
    You can finally say goodbye to those 2 -very annoying- seconds during startup.
  • Export / Import data functionality!
    Now you can easily import and export your Wii Phone data! This is specially useful for those migrating from the old Wii Phone v3.1 launcher version.
  • Asset optimization!
    The way Wii Phone handles many of its assets have been changed, in order to attempt to reduce RAM usage and lower the crashes. Let me know if it works well!
  • Many minor features as requested by the community!
    • Added cursor toggle to Android version!
    • Added an update checker! It'll automatically let you know if there's a new Wii Phone update after loading the app.
    • Added a debug console!
    • Added new translations system! Now the translations are pulled directly from the server.
    • Added Russian language!
    • Added an option to modify the black transitions speed! Now you can access most menus faster, if you want to.
  • And finally, bugfixes!
    • (#23) App crash on animation loading
    • (#31) Launcher not installing since the package names conflict
    • (#32) Disc Channel's banner issues
    • (#33) Popup appears for a few frames when downloading an animation without a Wii Phone account
    • (#34) If your login credentials expire, you can't use the Hub until you log in again
    • (#35) If your phone is in Arabic, your app names are displayed as squares
    • (#36) The Hub download counts are ONLY increasing with registered users' downloads
    • (#38) Banner animation border has some strange holes in it
    • (#39) If you rename a channel animation, it won't load into the linked channels next startup
