A couple minor new features in this version.
First off, it tells you if you need to set up your username and personal key. Previous versions would just try to ask jaiku for username ‘unset’ and expect you to figure it out when you always got bad results.
Secondly, you have more ability to browse around jaiku. Specifically, when you are browsing your overview, you can go to the selected post’s author’s page. From there, using the ‘back’ command (also the ‘escape’ key on your blackberry if you are using one), will take you back to the overview without pulling the page over the network again. It was a cheap enhancement to make, so I made it.
Here you can see the feature in action. In my overview, my cursor is currently on a comment from user raiglstorfer, and the context menu has a command allowing me to pull up all of raiglstorfer’s recent jaikus.
… all this, on top of all the other great features that version 0.4.1 had! And it’s free! Can’t beat that. As always, you can get the latest version from my software page. Still trying to find the energy to package up more of my software so you can play with it. Maybe next weekend.
As always, I’ve provided the JAR/JAD files which should work on a variety of java-enabled mobile devices. I’ve also given the ALX/COD files I built with the BlackBerry JDE 4.1. You can install it via the desktop manager. I’m sure these work on my 8700c, and have no idea which other blackberrys will be compatible. The source code is also there, if you want to change it, or build it specifically for the device of your choice.
Enjoy!
