It’s that time again. Our super-speed release code-octopi have turned out the latest iteration of the Bookmark.com browser sync application. Once again we’re ever grateful to our growing team of happy beta testers. We’re happy to see people from countries across the globe merrily syncing with Bookmark, and without your feedback we wouldn’t be improving so fast.
So, to the nitty gritty – what have we managed to roll out in the just-over-a-week since last release?
- Internet Explorer 9 support! 10 million beta testers can’t be wrong (their number, not ours…yet!). We’re really pleased to see the increased web standards support from Microsoft, and the competition in the browser market has never been stronger.
- Finding the upgrade process too ‘clicky’. We’ve streamlined it now, so you don’t have to keep answering the same questions every update. This should make life easier for our awesome beta community.
- History Sync is now tied to your auto-sync schedule. Don’t ask me why it wasn’t before, but sometimes decisions just make themselves, and have to be unmade.
- Close button now minimizes to tray on Windows. One-too-many people (myself included) kept accidentally killing our sync. If you want to exit (why would you?!) you can right-click the systray icon.
- Other stuff: crash reporting improvements, algorithm speed increases, graphical tweaks, and all the other good stuff you never see that makes the Bookmark.com experience that little bit slicker.
So – that’s about it for this time. If you’re interested what’s coming down the pipeline, our mobile app polishing process is in full swing – expect big things in the coming week or two on that front. We’re also working to add add add features to the Web Application, and development of new platform support is steaming along the tracks.
Thanks for all the support, feedback, tweets, love and everything that helps the team here know we’re working towards something awesome.
