Ostrich 0.3
I’m hoping this one works as well for you as it does for me and all the beta testers :)
Features:
- Direct Messages (Viewing and sending)
- User Profiles (Basic info and stats, last tweets and Follow/Unfollow)
- Image Upload
Bugs Fixed:
- Connection to the server should persist or reconnect automatically if it dies;
- When putting your laptop to sleep or losing the wireless connection, it should also reconnect on its own within 15-30 seconds;
- The styling of the app should be more consistent across websites. Though it’s not great yet;
- Ostrich’s window will now only open at boot if you’re not authenticated (should not happen often, if at all).
Pretty much all other bugs I could find on my own and with maybe 5 testers have been squashed.
The reason for such a slow release is the ridiculously huge rewrite of how the app works (again.) Now using cutting-edge technologies to deliver tweets with less resources and more reliably.
Sadly, I can’t guarantee it’ll be 99-100% reliable yet. I’ve been working on this version for weeks now and to me, it’s the best yet. I will be working hard on the next version as soon as I can and I will update you on the details on the next release.
