Change log:

No shutter sound on some phones that had it.
Fixed an error in the telemetry command that prevented some data from being returned.

Fixed many errors in the ZIP archiving and uploading functions
The active GPS tracker can now be disabled. It is now off by default. This should help improve the battery efficiency of BSR.
Fixed an error with adding interrupted recordings to the upload queue.
All photos are now made to a hidden folder, to prevent them from appearing in the Album.
New auto-uploading option: WebDav. Tested on Yandex.Disk.
For an additional donation, a new feature is now available: Auto-Snapshots. BSR will make camera snapshots every X seconds and upload them automatically.

Added the setting field for the FTP server port number
Added the ability to launch the hidden app using a secret code. The code is mentioned in the security settings in the app.

Many new features:
Read all application settings through a remote command
Edit any app settings through a remote command
Active updates on the GPS location
Getting the list of connected cellular towers. Geolocate them on a map using a new tool on the website.
New telemetry info: queue lengths - uploading, deleting, archiving, etc.
A lock-file is now created when a recording is started. This helps find the interrupted recording and send it for uploading in case of the app crash or system reboot
The «current log» command now sends the log text base64-encoded, which might help eliminate errors with this command
New remote command - upload the latest log files
New check-box - «Upload only when connected to a power source»
Turn phone recording on and off using a remote command
Phone recording on/off status in the telemetery

New feature: stop recording when the screen is on. In the settings, «Background Recording», there is now a new checkbox: «Screen-Off Only». When the checkbox is set, BSR will record only when the screen is turned off. This will help to prevent conflicts over the microphone access between BSR and video camera, voice messaging, etc.

New telemetry data: GPS location.
New remote control command – take a snapshot from the camera (main or frontal). The image file will be stored in the recordings folder and automatically uploaded as per the uploading settings.

Remote Control functionality added! You can control your BSR from this website. Go to the Activate / Control page, select an access ticket, click «Remote Control» and follow the instructions.

Added the READ_CALL_LOG permission in order to read the caller's phone number on Android 9
