Unfortunately, this reduction was not as efficient as I expected. Data
structures used for these devices are also used for calculating and
publishing so the structures have to be preserved. :-( The application
modes, however, are removed.

The only preserved identification is the keyboard.

The option was changed to Adding competitors to the local startlist.
Relevant only when (4) is on.

A) Unlocking with NFC chip was removed.
B) Unlocking with PIN is the only possibility. In TOP, you can define
   an unlocking PIN for the race. After configuring for such a race,
   the app has menu locked automatically.

Similarly to (1), the particular parts of the code cannot be removed
because the same code is used when choosing course part in the e-card
mode. So, this will be kept.

It seems that migration to iOS is not yet an issue.

Well, the very first build of 4.12 was sent to Google play and I guess
it to be available today. I hope we will have enough time to test it
before the season start. Please, when you have time, try to test it
and send me any issues that you discover.

Martin, also test the issue we were solving in Goteborg, please...

For the new features, see https://ant.yq.cz/releases.html...
