notes for 0.6-beta

Mar 22, 2010 00:34


Current users can use the "Check for Updates..." menu item under the "asLJ" menu to get this update.

DOWNLOAD (This is beta software-while it has undergone months of testing, it may contain bugs with unpredictable results, and is provided as-is. Use with caution and at your own risk.)

NEW:
  • Changed the bold and italics format commands to use and tags, respectively.
  • Format commands now maintain the text selection or place the cursor inside the tag(s) when there is no existing text selection.
  • The moods drop-down list and the tags drop-down list are now resizable, initially set to 10 items, and the resized length is saved from session to session.
  • The friend-group selection area of the "Security" panel in the drawer is only displayed when "Custom..." is selected as the security type.
  • When browsing past entries, the preview panel that can be displayed now automatically logs in the account being browsed so that you can preview private/locked entries; this login does not affect any other web browsers and is not saved in any way.
  • The size and position of the entry window is now saved.
  • New entries saved with "Auto" checked under "Date and Time" will load with "Auto" checked.
  • Added "My Friends" and "My Communities" submenus in the "Format" menu-with an account selected, these provide lists of friends and communities to simplify inserting lj-user/lj-comm tags.
  • Added "Word Count" command (in the Edit menu).
  • The asynchronous loading of userpics is now uses a maximum of 20 threads. (This means slightly slower but less resource-hungry first-time loading of userpics for accounts with lots and lots of userpics, but no significant difference in load times once the userpics are cached.)
  • Loading of previously-used tags is now done asynchronously in the background to shorten the time between selecting an account and being able to compose an entry.
  • asLJ is now a "signed" application bundle, so this upgrade should be the last time for a while that you'll have to click "Always Allow" on those keychain access dialogs.
  • asLJ is now a 32-/64-bit universal binary.
  • Fixed issue on 10.6/Snow Leopard where the floating userpic preview was blank.
  • Fixed error when loading a saved entry that did not have an account selected.
  • Fixed behavior when selecting "(Select an Account)" from the account selector in the toolbar to more cleanly deselect any account.
