~ gubatron ~ 5 Comments

Here are the changes for 4.13.1.8:

– No more “BETA”, this is the final release of the 4.13.1.8 branch
– Included translation to Portuguese (Since our Brazilian User Base is the second biggest one out there).
– Cleaner debian installer (Thanks to the “Ubunteros” that kept complaining).
– Compatibility fix for Beryl (Thanks to the “Ubunteros” again)
– Frostwire will actually shutdown on Linux without you having to set up the Tray System settings.
– Updates on Chat Banner system. Memory Leak fixed, Banners can be targetted by language, ip range and country. (Want to advertise on the FrostWire Chat?)
– Misc Updates to the Chat.
– When music files are launched they’re automatically added to the playlist (Finally).
– Fixed bug on “Explore” button where it’d launch the file instead of the folder that contains the file.
– Dev. tools to synchronize translation files, and quick build script.
– Removed all Simpp messages.

The Mac and Linux installers (deb, tgz, rpm) are ready. We’re waiting for the new Windows Installer to be ready to do the official launch sometime this week.

FrostWire T-Shirt Prototype, “You Like?!?!?”

~ gubatron ~ 29 Comments

We’ve been asking for a while to the community about FrostWire T-shirts and FrostWire Merchandise.

What do you guys think about this design?

Would you support FrostWire by getting one of these?
Your feedback is important, if enough people are willing to get them, we can make more for less money and you can also help us by wearing them on the street and making all your friends jealous so they have to get one too 🙂

It’s too early to let you know about pricing, we need to hear your thoughts on them first.

p2pnet’s survey update

EMI (Britain), Vivendi Universal (France), Sony BMG (Japan and Germany) and Warner Music’s (US) bizarre anti-p2p, anti-consumers, anti-file sharing campaign isn’t working, their claims to the contrary notwithstanding.

Who says? Six hundred and ninety three of 737 people who answered the question, Have the RIAA sue ’em all lawsuits persuaded you to stop sharing?, in p2pnet’s week-long, 31-question Sultans of Spin online poll, the first of its kind….

FrostWire is a success in Brazil

~ gubatron ~ 9 Comments

Download portal Baixaki.ig.com.br has listed FrostWire and the number of Brazilian users has grown exponentially over the last 2 weeks.

Brazilians seem to be very outgoing about software and you can see so by reading all the excellent comments Baixaki users have to say about us.

So expect a translation to Portuguese for 4.13.1.8

Muito Obrigado Brasil!
The FrostWire Team

A few fixes coming for 4.13.1.8

System Tray fix on Ubuntu Version

Thanks to our friend Jorge Peña, a sharp and detailed oriented FrostWire Ubuntu User from California, USA, we’ve fixed two things so far for 4.13.1.8.

  • The .deb installer had some .svn remains which have been cleaned
  • When you close FrostWire, unless you have changed the system tray settings in the options, it won’t close in ubuntu unless you kill the process, now the default behaviour is to close immediatly, until we have more people using java 1.6 and we can use the new classes for the system tray, as of now, we decided to remove the system tray because people were reporting too many crashes due to JDIC

    • Thanks to our friend Jorge Peña for the heads up.

    Brasileros baixan muito FrostWire
    We have seen an exponential increase of users coming from Brazil during this last month of April 2007, this means 4.13.1.8 will include a translation to Brazilian localized Portuguese.

    If you’re from Brazil maybe you can help us make the best translation possible, just reply to this post and we’ll contact you.

    Muito Axe!
