These images are processed to optimize download time and storage requirements and hosted by Midnight Planets. They appear automatically in the app for archived sols that Midnight Planets has processed. For Opportunity, archived images are released after a few months' delay; for recent sols "raw" images are displayed. (Some archival data for Curiosity is available, but processing it is going to require additional effort.) - Disabled auto-zoom on image selection. Image selection now works in a more standard, predictable way. Double-tap images to quickly zoom and center them. - Added a scene brightness setting in view options. - Important bug fixes and performance improvements. - Updated app icon. - For advanced users: there is now a 'missing images' option in the manual view settings for MER, which displays images which are not available but for which metadata exists.
