jUploadr 0.8

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

I released jUploadr 0.8 today. It’s really getting solid, and there are improvements over 0.7 across the board. I added a ton of features, fixed all the open bugs, and improved the usability.
It’s a spectacularly solid release, and eclipses the official uploader’s feature set. I finally got to see the official flickr uploader in [...]

Write once run nowhere

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

With all the new activity with jUploadr I decided to go ahead and implement image rotation. When I looked at the SWT javadocs, I was pleased to see that they added a Transform object for 3.1. Now rotating objects will be as simple as

Transform tx = new Transform(event.display);

jUploadr 0.7

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

I released jUploadr 0.7 today. It supports the new authentication API so Yahoo! users can log in with their yahoo name. It also doesn’t store your password locally, or transfer it over the internet (thanks new authentication API!).
I also fixed a bunch of usability issues that were brought to my attention, as well as [...]

More good news

Wednesday, June 8th, 2005

More good news for Macintosh jUploadr users (both of you!). For a lark, I filed a bug for the long-standing transparency issues regarding image overlays. To my surprise, this bug was fixed in about three days, so now jUploadr on the Mac looks just as good as it does on Windows and Linux.
I’ve [...]

jUploadr users on Mac, rejoice. It looks like the bug that prevented it from accepting drag and drop requests has been fixed, and will be out shortly.
I didn’t fix it myself, but you can see what happened on this thread. Thanks to everyone that figured out what was wrong, and especially to Veronica Irvine for [...]

jUploadr 0.4

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2005

I released jUploadr 0.4 tonight after testing it out for a couple days. I’ve continued to further refine the interface as well as adding some requested features. The most important feature for this release is the ability to set attributes on multiple files, which should save a bunch of time for those people who upload [...]

I released jUploadr 0.3.5,
The highlights include :

Compiles and runs under java 1.5
Improved error handling

I also made different versions for different architectures, so if you’re on windows, or have a 64 bit AMD, you can download a version tailored to your system.
Go get it

jUploadr 0.3

Monday, January 10th, 2005

I got some help from John Hume who was so kind as to add threading to the uploader. He also reports it works on windows, though I don’t have the dlls yet.
I added a progress bar, pre-emptive authorization and a couple performance tweaks.
I think this is probably the first truly usable version jUploadr. Before [...]
