Polish and fixes after the 4.0 redesign.
▸ Photos now open at the archive's full resolution
▸ Smoother, faster swiping — even where the map is crowded
▸ Map pins keep up with panning, zooming and the year scale
▸ A shared link opens the photo itself, not the map
▸ Subtle haptic feedback throughout
▸ iPad fixes for the keyboard and zoom controls
Thanks for all your feedback — keep it coming!
