New build for Chrome!

Post by par »

Well YoWindow 3 rush is over.
And I have spent some time on our Chrome extension that required some face-lifting :)
I have replaced YoWindow icons.

But there was one more important change.
When connection to the Internet was slow, YoWindow window was opening with a significant delay.
It matters when you need the weather fast.
It was 5 - 20 seconds depending on connection quality.
In this build the problem is solved.
The window is expected to open in less than a second, always, no matter how fast or slow the Internet connection.

Friends, please give it a test as soon as possible.
I can't wait to roll out new Chrome update to 80,000 users :)

I'm in a working mode now, I will answer your emails and posts hopefully soon.

Hi Pasha,

Chrome window is opening fast on both my WinXP and Win7. But I do want to mention a few things.

On my WinXP, I had to download the new RC twice. The first time, I had to cancel the download as it was taking 10 minutes!! I then cleared my cache and started over. This time the download took only seconds (the way it should).

From your description above about what has changed, I don't think you made any changes to the landscapes. But I found a minor issue with Oriental while testing on my Win7. There are 2 spots in the landscape while watching Millie that you will see a flash of missing motion. When Millie is directly behind the middle of the bridge, you see a little flash and a piece of motion is missing. When Millie gets way over to right by the pinetree, while turning, you see the same flash and there is a piece of motion missing.

I have tried amelie and fiesta. They are working okay. I will do more testing later.

Hey, Marty, as always you are here to help as soon as I ask, thank you :)

1. I think there was something wrong with our server or with downloads caching in Chrome. Mystery. Don't think it is related to build quality.

2. I was not able to repeat the flash. Is it stable? However I've seen missing turn motion when Millie reaches the right border. I will investigate it as soon as I have time.

I'm going to release the new build.
Let me know if you to find any more problems.
