JSMS 4.0.3 released!

Meteor completely revamped the back end of their website yesterday. This change forced us to make a unscheduled release of JSMS...

Unfortunately, we haven't had a chance to test this release even remotely as thoroughly as we would like, so please forgive us if this release doesn't meet the normal quality standards that we usually try to aspire to; here's the deal - if you report bugs quickly, we'll try to fix them quickly!

One thing that I have noted is that the Meteor website still occasionally returns an error. JSMS will always tell you when it can't send a message and simply trying again seems to work...

We've been busy (well Finbarr has been busy!) since the last release, as the following list of features will highlight...

  • Added a phone book manager and a button to launch it from the main screen. Multiple contacts can added to a group by drag and drop or multi-selection.
  • Redesigned Login window.
  • Added ability to export and import contacts (great for backing up your phone book).
  • Contacts can be searched by typing their name.
  • Updated message window and made background colours configurable, just like the fonts are.
  • Added message log showing message history since JSMS was launched.
  • Updated JSMS to work with Meteor's latest website update.
  • Fixed bug where user could only enter a manual number up to 10 digits long (needed for O2 users).
  • Updated installer and "About" box images and fixed bug where the installer crashed on certain Linux platforms.
  • Temporarily removed broken "sendToGroups" functionality.
Enjoy - and please report any bugs to us at jsmsirl@gmail.com

Regards,
The JSMS Team.
