IITC 0.16.0 and IITC Mobile 0.10.0 have been released. This update is required to work with the latest changes to
the standard intel site. This update took a fair amount of work due to major changes
in the network protocol used behind the standard intel website, hence the longer than usual delay for the update.
</p>
<p>
As well as IITC itself, nearly every single plugin broke in some way due to these changes. Due to the amount of work
needed to get everything possible working again, some plugins have been disabled for now. You can see the list of these
disabled plugins in the download list - they're in the 'Deleted' category with a description of 'PLUGIN CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE'.
</p>
<p>
Shortly after the Niantic changes that broke IITC, there were reports of IITC users being banned. This seemed strange at
first, as IITC was not even functioning at this time, so why would people be using it and getting banned. The conclusion
that was reached was that a few people who tried to use the broken IITC Mobile app triggered either a bug in IITC that
caused excessive requests, or triggered some kind of alert in the intel servers. Changes have been made to IITC now
so this unlikely to be an issue again.

<h4>11th November 2013</h4>
<p>
IITC 0.15.0 and IITC Mobile 0.9 have just been released. This update fixes things to work with the latest changes
to the standard intel site. Also
<ul>
<li>Support for Jarvis shards (and other future artifacts)</li>
<li>New base map plugins - for <a href="http://maps.stamen.com/">maps.stamen.com/</a> and Bing maps.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h4>7th November 2013</h4>
<p>
IITC 0.14.6 and IITC Mobile 0.7.7.2 released. Another change needed to match a minor update to the standard intel site.
</p>
<h4>6th November 2013</h4>
<p>
IITC 0.14.5 and IITC Mobile 0.7.7.1 have been released. This contains a fix to work with the latest intel site updates.
Other than this, it is identical to the 0.14.4/0.7.7 release.
</p>
<h4>29th October 2013</h4>
<p>
IITC 0.14.4 and IITC Mobile 0.7.7 have just been released. A critical update required to work with changes made to the
standard intel site. Changes include
<ul>
<li>Fix to geodesic circle drawing. They were not correctly distorted, leading to incorrect link ranges drawn on the map.</li>
<li>Bookmarks plugin: add layer and highlighter to indicate bookmarked portals</li>
<li>Player tracker plugin: markers fade for older activity, and separate layers for each faction</li>
<li>The 'About IITC' dialog now lists which plugins are installed. This may not work correctly for 3rd party plugins at this time</li>
<li>Mobile:
<ul>
<li>Custom fullscreen preferences</li>
<li>Install to SD Card</li>
<li>Cache move to SD card option (hence the new permissions)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>... and, as always, various bugfixes and improvements.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<b>3RD PARTY PLUGIN AUTHORS</b>: The plugin wrapper code has been modified to pass through the additional version
information. While existing plugins should continue to work, I highly recommend updating the wrapper code in your
scripts to match.
</p>
<h4>16th October 2013</h4>
<p>
IITC 0.14.3 and IITC Mobile 0.7.4 have just been released. This is a critical update required to work with the latest
changes Niantic have made to the standard intel site. Additionally, the draw-tools plugin now snaps points to portals
when creating lines/polygons/markers (was actually in 0.14.2 release), a bugfix relating to IITC not realising who
'you' are, causing some highlighters to break, and a handful of other tweaks/bugfixes.
