Do You Have To Guess What's Under The Fog?

** LINE SUDOKU **
Line Sudoku, our new sudoku app, may be OUT now... we can't control exactly when the Apple and Android releases happen but it should be at any moment!!  

Line Sudoku is an app we've been working on for over a year and it features sudokus by some of the world's best sudoku setters (including Phistomefel, Clover, Jay Dyer, Qodec, zetamath, etc).
 
** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Today we try a new Fog-Of-War sudoku from gdc in which our task is to locate 5-cell renban lines in the grid.  Sounds easy but it's seriously interesting and definitely not trivial to do it properly :)

Play the puzzle at the link below:

https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/su...

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The grid is covered in fog. Placing correct digits reveals clues in the surrounding 3x3 area. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (ie one is double the other). Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all possible dots are given. Digits on a line form a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits - these digits can appear in any order. All lines are exactly 5 cells long, don't branch, don't share cells with other lines and only move orthogonally.
