Cutting Edge: Network Diagnostics

Friday, February 22, 2008

As a new goodie, the "Network Diagnostics..." tool found in Safari has been integrated. If you can't connect to Google, a new button (Network Diagnostics) will be shown on the "Authentication" window. It opens a window where you can diagnose and solve the network problem.

Cutting Edge: Improved Authentication

As the authentication code and dialog box were modal, no "check for updates" could be performed before Google authentication.

The authentication part of Mailplane is now completely new: Mailplane will automatically check for updates, even if you can't sign in.
The dialog is now a "dialog sheet" attached to the main window, and the login procedure can be cancelled at any time.

Plus: If you have many accounts, startup is now much faster.

Cutting Edge: Apology for a bad release

Saturday, February 16, 2008

The "cutting edge" version (1.71.5) published yesterday, was a bad release. Some users reported that it just didn't start after the update procedure. It looks like only MAC OS X Tiger users were affected by the problem.

The error has now been fixed, and a new update has been released a minute ago. Use the "Check for updates" feature to load it.

If your Mailplane doesn't start, you need to download the latest version manually: Please use the download page to either download the stable or "cutting edge" version.

I deeply apologize for any inconveniences this might have caused, and I will work hard to make sure I reduce the likelihood of this happening again.
