Version 3.0.8 Released
Posted on Friday, January 22, 2010 by Ian Drake
A new release is available today. Version 3.0.8 contains a few fixes and small improvements.
- Ad alert emails are now in a better format with the ad title in the subject. I removed most non-essential info.
- Alerts can now be replied to directly to respond to the ad poster (assuming an email address was provided somewhere in the ad).
- Ripped out the fancy NotifyWire email relay system that prevented spam because Craigslist started blocking some emails from NotifyWire.com. The "Reply to Ad" button now launches your default mail program like any other email link would. I'm working on a feature to allow you launch email directly to your online email (gmail, hotmail, yahoo mail, etc...).
- On the server there was a bug in the search engine that monitors craigslist. In a few scenarios this bug prevented many alerts (but not all) from being sent. This has been fixed on our server.
I didn't get as much in this release as I would have liked. There were a few unexpected bugs that I had to work on instead of adding features. Not to worry, new features are coming soon.
