0.10.2 released

Again a bug-fixing release. The client seems to work pretty well now. I've noticed some oddities in unread message counters but that'll be fixed in next release. Please report any issues you find.

0.10.0 released

Siilihai 0.10.0 has been released. Main features:

- Got rid of SQLITE dependency as switched to simpler XML database. Starting and quitting is now much faster.
- Authentication dialogs work now much smarter when there are several forums needing authentication (for example when syncing for first time).
- Forums download their parsers ASAP, meaning shorter start time. I've got more speedups in mind but currently startup seems to be quite fast.
- Many clean-ups and bug fixes not visible to the user.

0.10.0 is still beta quality - there will be bugs and they will be fixed. Report any you found to e-mail address found below.

Next release coming soon

I'm working on the next major release, 0.10.0. I have got rid of the SQLITE database and replaced it with XML files. This is much simpler and faster. Also there will be a lot of architecture changes which are not visible for user.

I had to delete last release from Launchpad, as the source package contained some extra build files not needed. Unfortunately Launchpad also deleted the binaries so currently the PPA is not working. I'll upload 0.10.0 as soon as it is stable enough. If you really, really need last 0.9.24, let me know and I'll see if i can upload it.

More info on 0.10.0 as soon as I finish it.

0.9.24 Released

This version contains some architecture changes making Siilihai more stable and probably a little bit faster.

- Forums with update errors are now shown with red icon.
- A lot of bug fixes in updating, syncing and UI logic.
- Graphics are now included in the binary, no need for external image files.

There has also been some minor tuning on server side.

On the downside I've noticed that the sqlite database storage is slow especially when quitting Siilihai. In next release it will probably be replaced with plain XML file.

Ubuntu's Launchpad has been busy for last 24 hours so the update is not yet available. Windows version can be downloaded from the download page.

New release coming soon

I've been working on the next release, 0.9.24 which will contain a lot of new fixes and improvements. Stay tuned.

Ps. I deleted old forum "MuroBBS" and fixed the working "MuroBBS (toimiva)". I renamed it to just MuroBBS. Looks like
server changed me to be the owner of the forum so i couldn't notify the original author about the change.

0.9.21 released

Long time no news. There have been some minor update releases for Ubuntu lately as I've been fixing any remaining bugs. 0.9.21 is the first release which is built in release mode - i.e. without debug symbols and with compiler optimization.

Siilihai should now be faster (by compiler optimizations) and the windows installer shrank from 100 megs to 14 megs.

This will probably be the last release for Ubuntu Maverick as I'm upgrading to Natty soon.
