Socialite 1.3.3 release notes

· News & Updates

This update focuses on stability and bug fixes but also includes some important features and changes, such as Facebook links now show user’s message, URL shorteners updates and better text contrast.

  • NEW: Show user’s message to Facebook’s link status before the link description.
  • NEW: Added subscription to Socialite newsletter from within the app. Access from Socialite menu, below ‘About Socialite’.
  • CHANGE: bit.ly and j.mp URL shorteners have changed the API. If you used these services with login, you’ll need to enter your account name instead of email and API key instead of password in Socialite’s preferences for them to work. The legacy Bitly API-key page is no longer available; these instructions are retained as historical release notes.
  • FIX: Don’t loose currently read event what new events arrive and the container is set to show only unread statuses.
  • FIX: Don’t remove read events from view when the status was in more than one container (for example, in retweets and twitter timeline). This caused annoyance when reading with Space key (next unread).
  • FIX: URLs that had the # character in them couldn’t be shorted using is.gd and possibly other services.
  • CHANGE: is.gd URL shortener updated to newer API for future compatibility.
  • CHANGE: Increased text contrast in status updates.
  • FIX: Fixed Google Reader folder synchronization bug.
  • FIX: Fixed numerous data-related bugs
  • Performance improvements

The version has been submitted to the Mac App Store as well

Thanks to all the people who were patient and helping us with finding bugs and solving their issues.

    Hi, I'm currently trying socialite... It's really a great piece of software, but in order to buy, I really need an improved facebook support... Are the support for Private Messages and Notifications planned? And what about the support for seeing who "likes" publications? Private Messages is one very used feature of facebook, and it's really a pity that socialitie doesn't implement it. In addition, a great thing would be to propose to delete our publications only from the client, or on both client and server (ex. tweets, facebook status, etc.) Thanks a lot

    Aouh, one more feature suggestion... In terms of usability, on thing which could be great would be an option to minimize / close the main window when clicking on the "Mark all as read" button (to have the same behavior than the trash bin : when clicking on "empty", the window is closing... and this is a detail, but which is damn useful... because actually, most of the time, when we click on mark all as read, this is the normal thing we do then : closing the window) Thanks

    Oups, I apologize, this last feature is already existing :)

    Excuse me, I'm sorry, I'm here yet to spam your blog :S The feature is here, but maybe it's behavior is not so polished : I think it would be better that it closes the windows only if we are in the "Unread" section... Because when clicking on "Mark all as read" in a subsection (ie. in Twitter account), it only mark as read all tweeter notifications... So I don't want that closes the window... Only we I am in the Unread section, because it turns all contents, in all subsections, to read... In addition, I think there is a bug in the "don't show in HUD" feature... I disabled this feature for my RSS and Google Reader accounts, because I receive a lot of news... But it continues to appears in HUD....... The worst : when I'm starting the software after a sleeping night, it fulfill my screen with HUD notifications... Outch. And a last thing : is there any setting to start the application minimized? I can't find this... Ans since my application launches with the system, I would like it start minimized... Sorry :) and many thanks

    @cebelab, indeed instead of writing in the blog, it's better to start discussions in the support system at http://support.apparentsoft.com You're right about "Mark all as read". It really shouldn't close the window if we're not in Unread container or maybe simply if there are still unread items left. Regarding HUD, I think you mistake Growl notification for HUD view. To see what HUD is, go to Window menu and the select Heads-up Display.

    @cebelab Regarding starting application minimized on login, I think you can change this in Mac Preferences, in Login items, check the checkbox near Socialite in the "Hide" column.

    I bought Socialite in the AppStore and it says "All your apps are up to date" although I still have v1.3.2. When is the update available in the AppStore? I tried to do the update manually by trashing Socialite in my Applications folder an dragging the new version in. By doing this the AppStore looses track of Socialite and I would have to buy it again. i restored the trashed app, so I'm back to v1.3.2 again. :(

    As I wrote in the post we only submitted it to the Mac App Store, together with the release here. Now it depends on Apple's review times. Lately Apple has been faster with reviewing applications on the app store so I hope it'll be available in the MAS in a day or two.

    Thanx for informations... Indeed I was mistaken... Almost perfect. Just facebook private messaging support and the little "Mark All as Read" issue. Thanks a lot!

    Hello, I am a user of Socialite from EventBox times, and although I am generally satisfied with the application. I think it is urgent for the application optimization is not so slow sometimes unstable. I hope to address this recommendation and we will have a great application. Greetings.
