/b/tard bug release 1.2.1

On 15 August, 2011 by Eric

After every feature release expect a bug release sure to follow.

In this case it’s not related to any of the new features although the new download code probably lead to exposing the problems more often.

Anyway I was having OutOfMemory errors after loading a LOT of thumbnails. I’ve switched to storing the compressed thumbnail instead of the bitmap itself, with bitmap creation being done on the fly. This slows down scrolling speed on slower phones but overall I’m happy with the result. I’m sure the slower phones weren’t swimming in free memory anyway.

And also covered up some problems with the lazy loading of thumbnails. Will have to address it specifically with a new implementation this week if I see any more trouble.

Other than that, getting stuck into wordpress for the next part of the project!
