Oh That Busy Friday!

Another busy week is over. During this week we received some valuable recognition from our users and I would like especially mark David Herron and his analysis of the BlogBridge performance evolution. It is always inspiring to hear responses of this kind. Thanks, David!

Advanced Installer and Mac

13 October 2005 ⋅ 1 min read ⋅ blogbridge

Today I was busy with creating a BlogBridge distribution package for Mac OS X and had found that Advanced Installer supports only ZIP-packages and there’s no DMG support. Not that it distresses me, but the fact that an application bundle will look slightly different from all other native applications makes it all being a little less fun.

Busy Time

12 October 2005 ⋅ 1 min read ⋅ blogbridge

Busy time has come. We are seriously polishing our product — the BlogBridge — for the rapidly coming BlogOn 2005 conference. We have lots of new features and fixes put into the latest builds. If I took the application as I knew it a week ago and compared it to what we have have today, most likely I would have been shocked and completely paralyzed till the end of my days, so big and significant those changes are.

New weekly build has just been deployed and it will be announced in a while on our official site. I won’t list the changes here as it’s a privilege of the main site. If you are reading these lines from within BlogBridge 2.3, my immediate suggestion is to restart it and get the updated version of weekly build right now.

What? Still reading? Don’t waste any more time — restart and enjoy!

BlogBridge 2.3 Reloaded

8 October 2005 ⋅ 1 min read ⋅ blogbridge

I’ve just finished uploading an updated version 2.3 to our Java Web Start deployment location. This fix pack incorporates one important fix which hit the users, who prefer to sort articles in ascending order where oldest come first.

The other patch is connected to a navigation. When you hit “go to next … article” command and there are some folded groups on your way, an invisible article will be selected instead of the next visible one.

And the last fix adds back (did you know about it?) “copy article text” functionality which was unintentionally lost. Now you can select a text of an article with mouse and use standard CTRL-C (or whatever analog on Mac) to copy the selected piece into the system clipboard.

Enjoy!

BlogBridge 2.3

6 October 2005 ⋅ 1 min read ⋅ blogbridge

Wonderful things are happening all around us… We have just released another BlogBridge version (2.3) featuring shining new photo feeds display and lots of small yet dead necessary fixes. I have never seen in any other aggregator available nowadays with such a pleasant and useful feature, like an iPhoto-like view for photo blogs (feeds).

BlogBridge: Version 2.0 Released

17 August 2005 ⋅ 3 min read ⋅ blogbridge

People of the World, Listen! Today we have released another long awaited final of BlogBridge for your enjoyment and unlimited pleasure. We were working hard for more than four months to deliver tons of new features and fix known loose ends. This release features so many features, that I wouldn’t even try to list all of them. I simply have not enough memory installed on my laptop to work with files of such lengths. For your statistical pleasure I will outline only major updates.
