admin | March 21st, 2008 | 5 Comments » | Beta, New Features |

After a few weeks working on the back-end of Wixi to optimize the speed of various operations, we are now glad to announce the upload of a new revision today, which includes several new features and bug fixes!

First of all, the overall loading speed has been improved (by compressing the javascript files and caching some more data), so the whole desktop should load faster.

Here is an exhaustive list of the most noticeable changes on this new Wixi version:

• new topbar layout: added links to access directly latest contents by type: (Video | Music | Photo | Game) and search quickly on the whole Wixi network



improved presentation of the sidebar: storage bar shows user space and available free space addition of RSS2 feeds on desktop: topbar, sidebar, search results and Friends Activity window modified some tooltips to be more explicit changed default browsing mode of folders to “list” view

added a “Share now” link at bottom of any window, to directly open the “Send to friends” window

showing the status of any AJAX request: at top right hand corner, you will know if your browser is loading information (the red “Working…” label) or an error occured

• new feature on search window: search in your wixi or on whole wixi network

We have also been listening to our users’ feedback and remarks on the forums and fixed numerous bugs, including:

• better detection of files status after upload (files should be faster available and ready to play)
• removed the warning message when you want to visit another wixi (only appears if you are uploading)
• correct detection of “premium” status of an user
• improved compatibility with Internet Explorer 7
• cut friendship is no more available on “last visitors” and “most popular wixies”
• duplication of Wixi TV folder from another user: it is now handled as a normal folder on your desktop
• fixed incorrect results on Search Users feature
• various bugs on javascript errors

We hope with this version to have simplified again the sharing and made the navigation more comfortable!

Give us your feedback as usually on the forum, and be prepared for even greater changes on the next revision we will upload!
