Barometer updated to fix the access to the barometer sensor. Due to the iOS 17 update, apps need to request permission to motion and fitness related data.
iContacts+ app updated for iOS14 to version 2.8
A required update of the iContacts+ is now rolled out as version 2.8. In iOS14 the old API was not supported anymore and the updated app uses the modern Contact framework. Still, to access the creationdate of the contacts we have use a tiny set of the previous AddressBook framework.

New look
After having a look into different CMS systems our homepage kernel went from a self developed Java/J2EE web application to a simple wordpress installation. We added a new style based on the current twenty-twelve theme. While implementing we learnt about modernizr (www.modernizr.com) to programmatically check for browser support of specific CSS styles / HTML features. This homepage applies it to determine the browser support of the border-image css style.
Another nice online tool is browsershots.org. It allows to check how your homepage renders on different browsers. Beware you have a limited amount of shots per days there, so i would recommend starting with the browsers of interest first.
