BillMinder 1.2 Submitted for Review

Because of a funky version numbering issue, we’re skipping 1.1 and going for BillMinder 1.2. We’ve just submitted the build to Apple for review. It contains all of the features that were promised in BillMinder 1.1.

We’ve tentatively planned the following features for BillMinder 1.3:

  • Password protection
  • Account and confirmation number fields

CastCatcher 1.2 Released

We’ve just received notification from Apple that CastCatcher 1.2 has hit the App Store. There’s usually a delay of 2-3 hours, but look for it. This is a huge release in terms of both features and bug fixes. Please let us know what you think via reviews on the App Store and our forums.

CastCatcher 1.2 Resubmitted to Apple

We’ve just pushed a new, final build of CastCatcher 1.2 to Apple. It features all the great stuff it did before, minus a few minor bugs, plus some major feature enhancements. Pending Apple’s review, it should hit your iPhones in about a week.

CastCatcher 1.2 delayed for a few days – Extra Features Added

So there was a bug in CastCatcher 1.2 (I didn’t trim spaces off the end of URLs) that caused stations to display an error instead of playing if users added a space to the end of the URL. It’s been fixed. I’ve not yet submitted 1.2 to Apple because we’re going to go ahead and roll the 1.3 update into 1.2. This means you’ll get the following in 1.2:

  • Added support for Icecast streams (still .pls files)
  • Fixed crash caused by incompatible metadata (stream plays, metadata ignored)
  • Support direct playback of mp3 files
  • Squeezebox server (SlimServer) playback support – add the mp3 url to CastCatcher
  • Support for direct playback of Shoutcast stream URLs (e.g. http://stream.radiojavan.com:9000)
  • More accurate error reporting on stream failure
  • Increase text size on now-playing screen
  • Improved Icecast and Nicecast Support
  • Station details (bit rate, name etc), if provided
  • Auto Reconnect on connection loss (attempt every 5 seconds)
  • Nifty buffer level indicator

Here’s a screenshot of the current beta. Note that it is subject to change.
