Mac version update has been released

February 6, 2007 posted by Mike Puchol

Greetings,

We have just posted a new release of the Mac version (2007-02-05) on the website for download, which fixes the following issues:

- Scrolling in user search results would not scroll the actual text.
- User would not be logged out when computer entered sleep, and this also caused a freeze on the signals list. You could still see a delay between connection and the client showing that you are connected.
- High CPU usage seen after idle for a long time or connection to server lost.
- High CPU usage after error message box is displayed.
- Client would stall due to no internet connection.
- Login related crashes.
- Speed improvement when logging in.

The new release can be downloaded here and should simply be installed on top of the previous version.

Since the Mac version was a bit more unstable than the Windows version, we have posted this update so that participants in LIFT can get a much improved experience. Towards the end of the week a common update to both versions will be posted.

Hi,

Towards the end of the week we will be posting a general update, so please bear with us - we are working hard to make Whisher as stable as possible. Also, please make sure you are indeed downloading and installing the latest release, we have reports that some download sites still offer or link to the first release.

Hi Paco,

What is the error message? Do you have an working internet connection on your WiFi with Whisher? If you still have problems let me know the SSID of your WiFi so I can check if it has been left in private mode.

What is the SSID? The name of my WiFi is Libreria El Virrey and I register in Whisher.

Thanks.

I’ll let you know how it goes. I must confess I was reluctant to keep the up on all the time. I need a stable system. Kudos!

The week is over, but i don’t see the expected update of the Mac client.
We really need WPA support, i can’t add my Airport Express right now.

Hi Steve,

We expect to have an update today. During the course of last week, we received other bug reports we wanted to look at and fix, so the release will be more complete. I apologize for the delay, but Friday’s build was not as good as we expected, so we’d rather wait two or three days, than push a release that has not been well tested.

Regards,

When a GNU/Linux version?

I think Whisher is a god idea, but I can’t download a GNU/Linux version. :(

But go on.

It would be nice to have a mac beta section with more frequent updates than the main releases. On another note, cool software!

Ok, I think they got stuck somewhere since they’re delaying so much the release of the mac patched version.
