XCSoar 7.45.1 is out.
This is a maintenance release on the 7.45 line. It adds a few small features and fixes crashes, weather overlays, map drawing, glide calculations, and device support reported after 7.45.

Highlights
Linux can now control the systemd service and display brightness from XCSoar. macOS has a standard application menu. Display type, text size, resolution, and rotation have moved onto their own Display page, separate from Layout.
Fixes
Android no longer crashes when leaving the app, or when restarting it immediately afterwards.
iOS uses the system keyboard (with a Paste button) and the system font, saves settings when the app moves to the background, and restores other apps’ audio after XCSoar plays a sound. Full-screen dialogs no longer leave a thin white frame at the display edge.
USB HID remotes such as SteFly keep working on OpenVario after the stick re-enumerates. Condor 3 UDP now follows ground track in a crosswind instead of heading. LXNAV polar sync no longer zeros the vario polar when crew or empty mass are sent before the device polar is known.
SkySight overlay times use UTC, and stepping weather layers no longer re-downloads forecast metadata in a way that could hit the API rate limit. Map labels no longer show a ragged white halo on high-DPI screens, and the live snail trail keeps circling detail as the map follows the aircraft.
Density scaling no longer inflates MacCready, so best-glide and speed-to-fly at altitude stay correct. Circling wind works again on paragliders and other aircraft without airspeed or a gyroscope. ADS-B ground speed no longer wraps above 457 km/h, and no-position FLARM targets show on the radar and map.
