preview: draw the car screen straight into a SurfaceView
...
Each frame used to be copied into two new full-size bitmaps on the main
thread, so the bigger the preview, the further taps lagged. The display now
draws into the preview's own surface, the way the car's encoder gets it,
and turning the phone hands the surface over without restarting the car UI.

screen size: fix a car that reports the wrong size, and size the preview
...
Some head units report a size their screen isn't, then crop or squash the
picture onto it. Settings, on the phone and the car, now take the screen's
real size and how the car fits it. Crop keeps the UI and taps inside the
part the car shows, like a car's own margins. Squash draws for the real
shape and stretches it over the frame on the GPU, map apps included, so
the car's squash puts it back.
The car preview can also draw at the last car's size, this device's whole
screen, or a size typed in, for head units running Gearslip on their own.

logs: share a log from an earlier launch
...
Opening Gearslip after a crash starts a new log, so the one that saw the
crash could only be pulled with a computer. Logs now has an Earlier button
listing past launches, newest first, marked when they crashed; tapping one
shares it. The newest 30 are kept.

nav bar: can hide while navigating, or until the screen is tapped
...
Set in car Settings. Off "Always show", the bar floats over the map, so
hiding it never resizes the map app's surface; the app is told the bar
covers the bottom while it shows. The arrival card no longer counts as
covering the map, so Waze's speedometer sits level with it.

navigation: directions in short bars, measured so apps keep their map clear of them
...
OsmAnd centred its arrow across the whole map because we only told it about
the arrival time, and Waze's speedometer sat under the map buttons. The turn
is now one short bar across the top and the arrival time one line along the
bottom; both bars and the button column are measured where they land and
left out of the area the app is told it can see.
