Master Tour build 1486 is available immediately. This is a required upgrade for syncing. As always, simply restart Master Tour and you will be prompted to download. We recommend that all users upgrade at your earliest convenience.

The primary feature of build 1486 is a fix for certain dates past March 14 (US) and March 28 (UK) being off by one hour on the iPhone and iCal feeds due to DST (daylight savings time).

Due to the nature of tours, timezone handing is a critical part of Master Tour. The typical tour is moving across timezones every day. The crew consists of people traveling with the tour as well as staff at the home office in locations across the globe. We have gone to extensive efforts to ensure that syncing “just works” across timezones. DST awareness is another part of the magic that has to happen under the hood. Dealing with dates is surprisingly complicated but our goal is to make sure you never even notice it.

We’d like to give a shout-out to Dave (w/ Hedley) and Dale (w/ Norah Jones) for helping us to nail down this DST issue. Thanks again for the feedback, please keep it coming!
