It’s here at last! The latest Whisher for Windows release is now available for download, with the following changes and fixes:

New features:

• Twitter auto-update when connecting or changing status.

Fixes and updates:

• The signals list could be corrupted on the login screen in some cases.
• Various memory leaks and race conditions.
• Startup time improved.
• Refresh the Twitter feed after a service failure.
• Special characters in the file name caused the shared list to not be broadcast.
• Improved copy & paste in the chat window.
• Various GUI inconsistencies.
• Automated FON login has been improved.

There are plenty other bug fixes and tweaks, too minor to list here, but we’d like to thank all the beta testers and users who have reported their experiences and issues to us, it helps us make Whisher better every day.

A new cool Twitter feature for Whisher will be released in a couple of days. Every time you change your WiFi location and/or status, Whisher will automatically post an update to Twitter with the name and location where you are connected. For example, you get to the office, open your laptop, and Whisher goes online - since Whisher knows where you are, it will post an update to Twitter automatically.

Obviously you will have the option to disable this feature in your preferences. Isn’t this a great way to let everybody know where to find good WiFi connections, while letting them know what you are doing? We’d love to hear about other things you would like to see in these automated updates - this is just the beginning!

Our Beta Testers will be able to use this new feature as of today, and as soon as they give us the OK will pass it on to all of you.
