1.0.3: Nós falamos o português!

That’s it, version 1.0.3 of Swapper is out, and is available in Portuguese! em Português! Obrigado Diego for the translations :)



So today, I want to say welcome to all the Portuguese and Brasilian people. Here are a few ideas of things you can swap ;)





I hope you’ll also enjoy the very cool new features of version 1.0.3:

- FASTER messaging feature. Now all your messages are instantly sent.
- Auto-upgrade on older versions
- A BETTER email system
- And an uninstaller for those who don’t like us so much ;)



Plus, we fixed a few bugs that you guys reported on our forum (few crashes, speedbooster, email notification problems).



ENJOY!

Arnaud

Planning for future releases

WOW! We’re seeing a really good uptake in the number of Swapper users since last Thursday. Guillaume and the team did a really good job of setting up our datacenters. Except for a small glitch on Saturday night, we’ve had excellent performance and very few bug reports. On the software side (Swapper client), we’ve had a few bug reports but nothing too bad. These are small nit-picks here and there which we will get too shortly.

So what’s next? Well, first and foremost, we are going to add more languages. Having localized versions of Swapper makes a big difference, as we witnessed in Spanish and French speaking countries. Second, we are going to continue to focus on performance - namely, improving our caching engine even further to cut down on upload times. Last, there are still a few usability issues with want to address with regards to email alerts. Again, nothing too heavy, the product is pretty robust for an alpha!
