Fossil Lite 1.3 submitted for review

We submitted Fossil 1.3 for review today.

Version 1.3 provides support for French language in Fossil.

We were hoping to pack few features that users have been waiting for sometime now. But in the end, we decided to put those through at least one more week of beta testing.

We expect version 1.2 of Fossil to hit app store any time soon and we plan to immediately start work on version 1.4 to get these features to the users.

Fossil Lite 1.2 submitted for Review

Just so you know …

We have submitted  a new version of Fossil Lite for review. As you may know already, we renamed Fossil Icebreaker to Fossil Lite.

We are very excited about this release as it provides the support for German localization for the first time.

Also, Fossil Lite 1.2 is built on the feature set  in Fossil 1.1, which we submitted for review sometime back and so all the enhancements and bug fixes in the paid version of Fossil are now available in Fossil Lite. We also fixed few new localization related issues reported by the users.

So, grab your free copies as soon as it hits the App store. And of course, do not forget to let us know your feedback and comments.

Fossil 1.1 submitted for review

We are excited to announce that we have submitted  a new version of Fossil for approval.

Fossil 1.1 is not very heavy on features but we still have managed to add few things which will delight a few of you there. Without much ado, here it goes:

Features:

  • SDK 3.0 compliance: Fossil 1.1 is fully compliant with iPhone SDK 3.0 and it uses some of the new capabilities in SDK to make the views more faster and animation much smoother. You will notice an appreciable difference in the animation in the editing mode in Fossil.
  • New Tab Bar Icons: We have completely overhauled all the existing tab bar icons and replaced them with new “pixel perfect” icons.
  • Backend optimizations: We tinkered and tinkered and then we tinkered some more with the backend to make data scrolling faster then ever!
  • Inline Mail Composer: Sending Reports over email does not exit Fossil anymore, thanks to the support for new in-app mail composer in this release.
  • Carbon Theme updated: Do you know there are more than 1 themes supported in Fossil? You can set the themes from Settings app. We tweaked “Carbon theme” a little bit under the hood to make it even more awesome.

Bug Fixes : We also managed to squish a few reported bugs in this release.

  1. Badge count aligned correctly
  2. Changed Button Title for Overlay Menu. Previously it showed “Cancel” instead of “OK”.
  3. Minor updates in inbuilt help

Hopefully, it should take standard 2 weeks for the updates to hit App store.

We would also like to thank glpyhish and pixelpress for their awesome free tab bar icons that they have made available for anyone. Thank you guys!
