Version 2.2.8 released

Installation

- From your phone's browser, enter http://mwap.at

Note: For Blackberry upgrading from version 2.2.6, it's very important to uninstall the application first, before installing 2.2.8.

Changes

Blackberry:

- Took out scrollbar and replaced with the standard Blackberry scrolling arrows at the top and bottom of the screen.
- For "Flash LED" option, now flash for 60 seconds instead of 10.
- Added support for Blackberry Email. It's available within the Send menu and also can be set as the only approach via "Settings -> Only use Blackberry Email for Send".
- Fixed slow launch time. It now starts instantly.
- Space key will now always do a page-down, even if app is set to scroll-by-line. Alt-Space now does a page-up instead of move-to-background. Move-to-background is now Alt-Del.
- Added new setting: "Download -> Notify when new articles are downloaded after Update". Its options are: "None", "Play sound", "Vibrate" or "Flash LED".
- Added support to capture trackball scrolling on the X-axis in image zoom (in addition to the Y-axis).
- Added rollover icon support

J2ME:

- Added new setting: "Download -> Notify when new articles are downloaded after Update". Its options are: "None", "Play sound"
- Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception that could happen at startup
- Fixed icon size for Nokia Series 80 phone

Both:

- Added the feed url to feed properties. This allows users to copy-paste urls.
- Added new option in "Settings -> Display -> Open links with". You can choose the default, which is to choose each time, or to always go to the internal or external browser.
- Changed "Update this feed" so that it forces the server to go and look for updates. This is good news if you know a feed has changed and want to look at the absolutely newest version.
- Fixed Next/Previous bug that appeared when there was only one article in a feed
- Fixed lockup up bug if "Access Links" was selected in Full Story and there weren't any links visible on the screen.
- Fixed bug encountered by user with Google Reader integration where Send and Delicious weren't correctly handling negative article ids.
- Change Feeds and Articles view to scroll by line if "Scroll by page" is turned off.
- Added new setting in Display: "Enable 'Access links' always in Full Story". This will force the app to start in "Access links" mode when viewing a full story.
- Reduced memory consumption when downloading data
- Added support for our new FavIcon loading mechanism. It's much faster and more resource efficient.
- Switched the secondary question view items to be left-aligned instead of centered.
- Now in "Add Feed by Url", you don't have to enter the feed title
- Fixed a bug where full story was deleted only after both the later version and article itself was deleted. Before it would delete the full story if either of them were deleted.
- Fixed bug in Feeds view where naming folder 8830 and/or starting feed name with a single quote doesn't display right
- Fixed up colors for some themes, especially the "Darkness" theme.
- Improved application performance slightly
