FreeRange Feedback

[David Boyd]

Changes for version 1.0.2
Release version

Application

- Improved performance by 35% on all phones and even more on Blackberry!
- NEW FEATURE: Added a "Send to Myself" option which will send an article to your own email address.
- NEW FEATURE: Added the option to delete all the articles that have been marked "Read" on a per-feed and global basis.
- NEW FEATURE: Article search results now appear as a psuedo-feed at the top of your feed list
- NEW FEATURE: Implemented the ability to drag the scrollbar on touchscreen phones
- NEW SETTING: "Download -> Direct connection", for the Blackberry Corporate build. If turned on it will allow FreeNews to work on Nextel.
- Fixed major stability and crash ("MONTY KERN-3") problems on SonyEricsson P800, P900 and P910's. One was from a bug that the phone has (P800 and P900) and another was due to the heap running out of memory.
- Fixed the "Stop" menu which I had inadvertently broken in release 1.0.1.
- Now allow less than 4 characters when searching for feeds by url.
- Fixed it so that if you manually add bogus feed url, and the server returns an error about it, that feed will be cleared so you don't keep resubmitting it again on every subsequent Update.
- Implemented trial question when you first download and your account is set to "guest". It allows you to go straight to entering your account information or go to the guest feeds instead.
- Fixed bug with Nokia 40 series where font size wouldn't change if you changed it in preferences
- Fixed scrolling for the question window.
- Fixed a bug where deleted articles were never getting deleted on phones that had lots of free storage. Now deleted articles get physically removed first thing during an Update.
- Fixed a bug where calling Delete in the abstract of an article wouldn't display anything.
- Got rid of showing InvalidRecordIDException when deleting a record.
- Article abstracts in the Later psuedo-feed now show feed name and category, subcategory where the article came from.
- Fixed a bug found my "mmenti" on the forum with the last feed was misssing on Feeds view
- Fixed bug on SprintPCS and the Sanyo RL-4920 where a user was getting a "905 - Data mismatch error"
