    0.5.11 is not out yet…. but a new feature showed up at the last minute that Flock engineers didn’t even have to weary their eyes and tired fingers on.

    cleanups are still coming, despite trials and tribulations with what it means to merge.

    0.5.9

    Filed under: Testing — rslomkow @ 1:35 am

    Getting ready for a release, New build for a new flock exprience.

    1. New Blog editor, back in the tab so it doesn’t look like a popup
    2. new top-bar manager
    3. new photo top bardsc00099.jpg for people not getting enough sulfar in their diets.
    4. New photo-uploader to make it easier than ever before.
    5. the new map topbar to keep map notes about all the hotels I am staying in this month
    6. there are never technorati conversations about my blog, but the topbar shows interesting stuff for other urls
    7. the shelf is now a topbar, and it works pretty nicely there
    8. rss view really rocks, especially if you put a few things into a collection and sort by topic, a little bit of statistical text analysis and similiar articles are lumped together
    9. Collection based top-bars have more dragging and dropping.
    10. tag photo, blog posts

    Really there are more cleanup and features than I can remember, but it is a fun new release.
