Added features and modifications include:

- just fixes the little bug in 2.1.14 that was crashing devices with outdated iOS 8.3 or 8.4 when opening the new config menu.

Please note: there is a crash bug in version 2.1.14 of Walkout Song DJ that only occurs with devices running iOS 8.4 or 8.3.

If you have one of these devices and have upgraded to version 2.1.14 of Walkout Song DJ, please upgrade the device to iOS 9.0 and the problem will go away. 

I have submitted another version 2.1.15 to the app store that will also remedy the bug.

[Fix zombie music player crash bug]

The following improvements are included in Walkout Song DJ release 2.1.9 which was released from the app store on Mar 17, 2014

Fix zombie music player crash bug
There was an opportunity for the music player to callback to an invalid zombie object when a new song was started while a song was already playing.  This generally led to an application crash and restart and occurred more frequently with very busy devices.  A proper wait was added when stopping the existing song to allow all callbacks to complete before destroying the player object.

Corrected the cropping on the Walkout and Pregame tab bar icons
The iOS 7.1 release removed some display cropping from the icons in the tab bar and this allowed the walkout and pregame icons to overlap the caption of the tab bar icons in a rather unattractive manner.  The icon images were trimmed to what had been displayed in earlier iOS versions which eliminates the overlap.

Smoother fade logic
Changed the fade algorithm from straight linear decay to square root decay.  This will drop the volume quicker in the beginning of the fade but with longer sustain.

Version 2.1.8 was based on a new audio player structure to support the manual fade functionality.   That new structure appears to have a rare instability generated by some devices or some songs on those devices (2 devices out of 170 updates), that causes a crash of the app during transition between playing songs.

The source of the problem has been found and fixed and a new version 2.1.9 was submitted to the app store on Mar 14th.

The app store typically takes 4-5 days to complete the review process. 

There is an expedited review process available, but this bug does not yet appear to be prevalent enough to request the process. 

If you haven't upgraded yet, then I would recommend waiting for the next update instead.

[Manual Fade Button:]

The following improvements are included in Walkout Song DJ release 2.1.8 which was released to the app store on Mar 13, 2014.

Manual Fade Button:
There is a new button in the header of the app that will allow the user to immediately fade the playing song. This is very useful in cases where the batter is ready earlier then planned or the inning break ends faster than average.

Option for automated voice announcement of batter after walkout song (iOS7):
There is a new toggle switch in the Walkout Songs pages of the iOS settings app entitled "Enable Player Announcement".  When this toggle switch is enabled, there will be a computer voice automated reading of the player number and name after the walkout song begins to fade.  Obviously, the quality of the reading depends entirely on the accuracy of the player data entry.  You may also need to adjust the spelling of the name to get the correct pronunciation.  Also note, although the toggle switch exists for all iOS versions, the automated voice is only available only in iOS 7 or greater.

Grey out 'between innings' song titles that were already played that day
As you play songs from the between innings page, the titles for the songs are marked with a lighter grey font.  This allows you to quickly determine which songs you have already played on that particular day.  The song items will reset to the normal font if the between innings page is opened on a new date.  There is also a reset button in the table header to allow you to reset the titles whenever necessary.

Scroll the player cell into view when editing
Prior to this version, when you tried to edit a player or situation name that was at the bottom of the table, the iOS keyboard would cover the entry so you were forced to type blindly.  This has now been corrected by scrolling the entry into view.

Change from stop button to pause button in app header
The icon image for the toggled play/pause in the header of the app was changed from a square stop image to the traditional pause image.  The functionality has not changed and the player state has always been pause when that image is displayed so this change just brings consistency to the UI.

With the new 7.1 ios update, Apple seems to have eliminated some cropping of the tab bar icons that has been done since 6.1.

This allows the walkout and pregame icons to overlap the caption of the tab bar icons in a rather unattractive manner.

A fix is already prepared to submit to the app store, but the app store has still not finished with the 2.1.8 release and that release has important feature changes.

Rather than delay the features for a purely cosmetic fix, a new update for the icon ugly will immediately be submitted to the app store once 2.1.8 has been approved.

To prevent incoming calls from interrupting Walkout Song DJ, you will need to do the following steps:

- open your iPhone settings app
- tap and open the 'Do Not Disturb' option page
- set the 'Manual' option at the top of the page to ON (moon icon appears on notification bar)
- set the 'Silence' option at the bottom of the page to 'Always' so it will block calls when the phone is locked or unlocked.
- set the 'Allow calls From' option to 'No One' so it does not allow calls from your favorites to get through.

That should do it.

Of course, don't forget to turn the 'Do Not Disturb' option back to on when you are finished with the game so you don't miss calls :)
