webNotes 1.2 addresses a few bugs:
- The "Add notes" button often disappears when re-entering the notes view. This has been corrected
- The web image and the loose-leaf background was a bit distracting, and so it's gone
One other thing to note is that for reasons that are unclear to me, Ubuntu One's notes sync service is unresponsive every so often, which will result in synchronization failure. At first I thought it was on my end, but it was affecting Tomboy as well the last time I noticed it. When this happens, unfortunately, all we can do is wait for the service to come back online and sync then.
Version 1.1 brings bug fixes and login improvements.
- There was an issue with a crash when in an area with poor network connectivity that should be fixed in this release
- The login screen gives more feedback when login errors occur
Version 1.1 addressed a few bugs and completely overhauled the EPUB parsing for more reliability.
Version 1.2 brings new features and a new look. New features:
Word 2007+ (DOCX) support
Now modern versions of Microsoft Word is supported. The previous versions supported older versions of Word (DOC), and now DOCX is supported as well. Like the other supported filetypes, a separate icon will distinguish these files from the others, so you always know what kind of file you are working with.
Jump to Percentage
Now you can jump to any point in a file without having to read to it. Now that the reading page shows your progress as an exact percentage, you can always jump straight to where you want to go. Your progress will still be saved, of course, but now you can move back and forward through long files quickly and easily. If you accidentally reset your progress, this can get you right back where you left off. It is also very handy for skipping the tables of contents for E-Books.
Easier E-Book Downloading
Ebooks can now be downloaded from inside the app from a variety of sources, including Project Gutenberg. Previous versions required you to go to various places inside of Safari and then send these files to iRSVP. This is still possible, of course, but now you can download supported file types without having to leave the app.
New Interface
Much of the interface has been overhauled, and streamlined for a more attractive experience. See screenshots below
Better, easier help
Using the idea of "show, don't tell" the new help is graphical and succinct.
