FaceBrick 0.5 has been pushed to extras-devel just now, and should be available for download within the hour.

Changes:

• Add a settings dialog
• Add a setting to change refresh interval of newsfeed (#9)
• Add a setting to change text size (#7)
• Fix non-ASCII characters causing problems in updates again (#2)
• Work around Facebook permissions problem (#4)

#4 will cause a dialog to flash up each time you start FaceBrick. It may linger if you have a bad internet connection, but it should go away afterwards. If not, just cancel it yourself.

This is (for the moment) unavoidable to ensure you have the right permissions. Patches welcome.

I'd like to thank Brik for her input into this release.

I'd also like to take a moment to remind everyone that we are accepting donations for FaceBrick, please see: http://rburchell.com/projects/donate/ if you are interested in helping out.

Thanks, and enjoy!
