Hey Folks!,

It’s been a while since we last spoke — over a month, in fact. I’m happy the say that the extraordinary gap of time was not time wasted, but in fact, time well invested.

I’ve been working on the next release of Flow, version 1.0.3. While it does have some new features, they’re not what took so long — this release took so long because architecturally, it’s a lot more stable, fast, efficient, cleaner, and more maintainable than any previous release of Flow. Good stuff.

I did mention a few new features, though. Namely, Flow 1.0.3 adds support for Amazon S3, and adds a navigation banner (back/forward/reload/address field) to Flow’s LivePreviewing in the editor.

This new version of Flow is available as a nightly release. Make sure you check out the release notes to find out known issues, what’s changed, and what’s been fixed. After roughly a week or so of testing (I need your help!), I expect 1.0.3 to be available as the official release.

It’s also worth mentioning that as far as support is concerned, we’re experimentally trying out Get Satisfaction; Extendmac’s support page has been updated to reflect this.

I previously mentioned wanting to move in a more open direction in terms of support, allowing you guys to give your opinions on suggested features, and easily let us know that they you’re experiencing the same issue that was previously reported, for example. I’ve stated a discussion on Get Satisfaction itself to keep track of what you folks think about all this. I encourage you to let me know!
