wq.app 1.3

wq.app 1.3.0 is the first stable release of the wq.app 1.3 series! Be sure to check out the latest documentation and the release notes for wq 1.3 when upgrading.

This release stabilizes the new UI introduced in wq.app 1.3 alpha, with a particular focus on improving mapping & React Native/Expo support.

Note: While wq.app’s React Native / Expo support is already being used in production apps, not all components supported by wq.app’s web build have working native equivalents. Complete native support and documentation will be provided by wq.app 2.0.
