We are happy to announce the immediate availability of Winslew 1.0. Compared to the last beta we now have favicons displayed next to the items (if a favicon is available for that site), some minor bugs fixed and finally the license code checker is included so if you buy a license you now have a place to put the license code in 🙂

The trial version which can be downloaded has the exact same feature set as the licensed version but only displays 10 items at once (and will give you one single hint to buy a license).

• I just updated the download page and added the option to easily buy an unlimited license of Winslew for only 2,99 EUR.
• Softpadia and Softsea already included Winslew in there download directories and approve that the downloads are checked.

We are very happy to announce the immediate availability of the first public beta release of Winslew 1.0. Go and get it on our download page and let us know what you think about it. This beta release has a built in expiration date at March, 31st 2010.

Changes since the Beta 2 include:

• Expiration of beta version set to March, 31st 2010
• Main window position and size now remembered and restored on new start
• When adding a new page the “updating cache window” is now shown to show what is happening
• The cache of an item can now be updated manually
• Added About window

During the first beta tests of the beta 1 some bugs have been found and killed. Those bugfixes mainly address issues if you started Winslew with no internet connection available. Now the collection is saved upon closing the upon and can be loaded again if Winslew encounters being offline on startup time.

And more important: Winslew now has a complete automated installer and uninstaller 🙂

Beta 3 is planned being the first public beta and to be released very soon. If you want to try the current beta 2 in closed beta just send me an email and I’ll be happy to hand over you a download link for it.
