Some new initiatives #1

Hi guys,

I think I mentioned that we were working on some new stuff at Lunascape, and would like to share that with you.

One of the initiatives is about feedback loop. We'd like to learn more about what users think and had set up uninstall survey. Not that we want you to uninstall it, but if you must, we'd like to know why. It would be great if you could participate, it takes less than 1 minute.

Another initiative worth mentioning here is the community. We are setting up Lunascape facebook page. We have support forum, but believe there are more ways to interact with you wonderful users! We intend to use it as an integrated platform for users all over the world. So don't freak out if you see languages you don't understand.

It is still rough (I learned it is not so easy to find the right apps for a page...), but we'd love if you could become fans and participate. You can leave comments, communicate with others, and upload files you created wrt Lunascape.
We'd love to see you all out there and will appreciate any suggestions or comments.

We have more stuff cooking - but that's for another time.

Until then,
Yuki

5.1.5 is released with the latest engines

Hey guys, we hope you had a wonderful summer.

I know you were waiting for this as it's been a little over a month since the last version update. Let me tell you, it's worth the wait!

Just released 5.1.5 comes with Gecko version 1.9.1.3 (same as Firefox 3.5.3) that fixes some more vulnerability such as Chrome privilege escalation with FeedWriter. Webkit version is 532.0 and that achieves 20% faster JavaScript speed compared to its previous version included in 5.1.4.

And we fixed A LOT of bugs that you’ve reported to us. Thanks for your great input. There are too many to list out here, but it includes default browser setting, correct title bar, IE history issues, and smoother install and uninstall etc.We have also added some new features such as tab activation options using a mouse wheel.

Additionally, we are kicking off some new initiatives to improve Lunascape experience, which I'd write again in a few days. So please stay tuned.

Go ahead and try out the new version. You can go to Help > Check for updates or wait for version update notification. And don't forget to let us know what you think!
(Note: I was told that manual update may not be available for today due to traffic control. Sorry for the inconvenience)

Summer gift from Lunascape - Ver 5.1.4

Yet again, we released new version. We have updated Gecko engine to revision 1.9.1.2 (same as Firefox 3.5.2), which overcomes some more security issues. Furthermore, we have fixed bugs related to title bar buttons, freeze during server connection dialog, and occasional crash at closing the last tab while using Gecko.

There are 2 released versions for 5.1.4. If you downloaded on Aug 7, you might have 5.1.4.4. On Aug 10, we have done subsequent release as 5.1.4.5 due to another important bug fix. The bug is related to deleting IE history while changing current directory. It is not a common problem, but we encourage everyone to update it to 5.1.4.5.

To make it easy, we have renewed update patch system so that you won’t miss our latest version any more. This might be a bit shaky in the beginning, so please let us know if you have problem. I will keep my eyes on it.

During the hot summer season, we hope browsing with Lunascape is at least a breeze for you guys.

Just released 5.1.3

Hi guys,

I wasn't kidding when I said that dev team in Japan never sleeps. Today, we released version 5.1.3.

This includes the latest Gecko engine (same as Firefox 3.5.1), which overcomes vulnerability issues. And yes, this also supports HTML 5 including native support for Ogg Theora encoded video and Vorbis encoded audio.In addition, we have fixed some bugs related to Windows Vista/XP and crash issues specific to Gecko.

Check it out and let us know your thought as always.

Updated version 5.1.2 is out

Thanks for those of you who downloaded our official release 5.1 a little less than 2 weeks ago. I hope you are liking it.

Well, we don't stop there. Today, we released a bit of update. We have fixed issues regarding occasional crashes and freezes that you have kindly taken time to let us know. And we have improved speed in page load. You will feel it is much snappier with this new version.
(I think the dev team in Japan never really sleep...!)

For those with 5.1, you will receive update notice shortly, so make sure to click on it. For the folks who have not tried Lunascape yet, you really have no excuse ;-) Try it yourself.

As usual, please let us know what you think (good or bad) via comment here or at our support forum at http://en.bbs.luna.tv.
