As Google Play only allows 500 characters in the 'What's New' area of an app's listing, this page gives more comprehensive details of each AmALfi release to date.
This listing may not be 100% complete, but we have attempted to collate as much information about what has changed between each release as possible (without boring you with the really irrelevant stuff).
For information about any known issues with the current version of AmALfi please see our Known Issues page.
