It'll be in extras-devel shortly. I don't release things until I'm ready, I just like teasing you in the meantime :D

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

v0.3 released!

Also known as the "I went off and got a life but I'm still here honest" release.

Uploaded to extras-devel (non-free as usual, MohammadAG seems to be looking at fixing packaging for me so I can remain lazy - other volunteers welcome!), so it should be available shortly.

One of the most popular changes for this release is a slightly tweaked news*feed* UI - entry is back at the top (as with the 0.1.x releases) and new newsfeed items appear at the top. Comments have not changed. This means the UI is now pretty much the same as Facebook. Thanks to everyone who voted! More votes will be coming.

Another largeish feature is *EXPERIMENTAL* support for viewing application posts, including link/photo/video thumbnails etc. This may break and eat your dog - you have been warned.

Last but not least, a bug with user avatars occasionally not loading has (hopefully?) been fixed.

Features
- UI changes to newsfeed, newest posts are at the top
- notification of like/unlike success (sadfist @ tmo)
- [EXPERIMENTAL] applications/shared link/video/image should do something (deans6571 @ tmo and others)

Fixes
- Avatars apparantly not always loading. could be a problem with too many requests at once? (netoak @ tmo)

Known Issues
- Posting a comment without having posted a newspost (= lacking stream_read permission) = error 200 no access from facebook (eean / various @ tmo)
- White on yellow information banners: this is a Qt bug, which will be automatically fixed with (PR1.2)
- Long names can be 'cut off' by the time since the post/comment was made.


I'd also like to say thanks to sadfist, deans6571, and all the people who voted in the recent poll - for their suggestions incorporated in this release.

Feedback, flames, and comments welcome as usual.

Enjoy!

......can you just clarify this?!!!

I will admit to not being a 'tester' as such but have always been happy to install 'developing' apps (have never bricked any of my devices so far - luckily!!!) but here you're saying that there IS a good chance that it may actually brick it - is that correct...?!!

Personally, I wouldn't even know where to begin if this actually happened! I know apps in 'Extras Dev' do have a warning - and I have installed a few so I must be lucky so far - but would it be generally safe to install this latest update or shall I hold off....?!!

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Bad humour on my part, sorry.

Take everything I say with tongue in cheek, unless I have it in capitals or something like that generally.

It will work fine, if there are problems, they will be related to the app exclusively.

Nice work w00t.

The photos....are a bit small though...not easy to see or really usable....can the siz ebe increased, or the ability to select the photo to download it and open it the N900 photo viewer app?

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I may increase the size. I don't know for sure yet, I want to give it some time and see how it goes.

I will probably add the option to download/view directly in the future.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

it would be nice if we could see who a person is talking to. you know like how certain conversations show up on your newsfeed

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Totally agree, nice work w00t!

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

FaceGo is a better name for this application or name it as "Facebook for Nokia N900" like the Black Berry devices!!

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

......loving the update!!! w00t - you're a star...!!! One weird thing a have spotted (not overly important!) is that although we can now view posts from Facebook applications( i.e. Farmville, Mafia Wars, Zynga Poker to name a few) , if I have friends who have levelled up or completed a specific task on one of these applications - Facebrick still shows an empty post from these friends?! Again - not a massive problem but would be nice if I could view what these friends had actually done!

On a side note - I know you've specifically tailoroed this app for Facebook but I for one would seriously love this exact same app to use to sign into Twitter.....!!!!!(there is a Twitter app that uses the UI of the N900 - but it hasn't been working for months - for me at least!!)
