The following sections list notable new features and bug fixes in iOS.
New Features
Support for using a Ti.Blob object to set the Ti.Map.Annotation.image property. TIMOB-6895
This feature is also supported on Android.
Support for repeating backgrounds on a view. TIMOB-4690
Setting backgroundRepeat to true causes the view's background image to be tiled.
This feature is currently only supported on iOS, and will be added to other platforms in
subsequent releases.
Support for getting current latitude and longitude delta from a MapView. TIMOB-6831
This feature allows the application to determine the current zoom level of the map view. This feature is currently only supported on iOS, and will be added to other platforms in subsequent releases.
Support for disabling animation when setting the contentOffset on a scroll view.
To set the content offset for a scroll view without animation, pass a dictionary
object as the second argument, with the animated property set to false:
myScrollView.setContentOffset(newOffset, { animated: false } });
This feature is only relevant to iOS, since Android and Mobile Web do not support animated scrolling.
Bug Fixes:
Database migration fixes. TIMOB-6756
Databases not symlinked on install. TIMOB-6081
Two module fixes:
Native JS modules detected by compiler. TIMOB-5815
Modules not building on Lion. TIMOB-7001
If you are working on iOS modules, see Updating Native JS Modules for iOS to see if these fixes apply to you.
Two fixes to HTTP header handling:
A regression in 1.8.0.1 that caused an exception to be thrown when setting a request
header to null. TIMOB-6828
The getResponseHeader method incorrectly used a case-sensitive match on response header names.
TIMOB-6832

Fixed Documentation Issues in JIRA
Building Android modules on Windows requires the following:
Android Native Development Kit (NDK) r7.
Ant (http://ant.apache.org/)
ant and gperf must be in the user's path.
You may need to update your iOS modules if either of the following applies to you:
You are working on OS X Lion. Modules created prior to this release did not build on Lion with Titanium Mobile 1.8.0.1.
You have a native iOS module that includes JavaScript code which uses Titanium APIs. Due to the issue described in TIMOB-5815, applicatons using your module may fail to compile if the module references APIs not used by the application.
If either of the above conditions apply, you should update your module's build.py file
and rebuild your module.
Download the build.py patch file from: https://gist.github.com/1586163
From the top-level directory of your module project, run this command to
patch your build.py file:
patch -p4
Rebuild your module with build.py.
Note that new modules created with release 1.8.1 do not need to be patched.
