You all seem to be liking it so far – thanks for all the useful feedback. Some people have commented on the practical use of the map, so I think it’s worth responding that:

• It’s a spinny map. That bounces. That was justification enough for it to exist for me
• All system and station info should be available without having to navigate via the map – if there’s something that’s missing then let me know and I’ll look into it.

The Bad

Initial start-up time on first launch with the new version is slow. This is a one-off hit whilst iClone upgrades existing data, mainly adding indexes to make a few of the data views much quicker to load, but can take a few minutes – sorry!

There’s also possibly an issue with API Key importing – I can’t reproduce it, but am investigating, so if you’re having issues then please use the contact form to give me details.

The Ugly

A few (minor) graphical glitches have sneaked in on iOS 4, which I’m fixing at the moment. Also, I seem to have gotten Ice fields and Asteroid Belts confused. D’oh.

Fin

I’m at the EVE BBQ next weekend, so no patch release before then to fix the above issues, but hopefully one not too long after – If you’re at the BBQ then that might be a good time for feature requests…

Keep the feedback coming, it all helps make iClone better!

There are a couple of potential outstanding issues with regard to industry job statuses sometimes displaying incorrectly – I’m still looking into these. Also, a few of you have reported adding accounts is behaving less smoothly than it ought – I’ll be trying to improve the documentation surrounding this area, especially with regard to syncing with Windows machines.

One change that won’t be popular in this release is the dropping of support for iPhones and iPods with 2.x firmwares. This was a tough decision to make as the new features available in the 3.x SDK didn’t make the choice an automatic one, even if they generally make life more pleasant for both user and coder alike. In the end the lack of simulator support in Snow Leopard, along with the lack of personal devices with the old firmware to test on made the decision for me. If this change affects you then I apologise, but recommend you upgrade as the new firmware features are worth it in my opinion – fingers crossed the recent proposed changes to the US accounting rules mean that Apple can drop the ridiculous iPod update charge.
