A new Wauwl has been released today. Version 2.0.9 has some major improvements under the hood. As earlier version had some trouble keeping the connection alive, this release addresses that by putting the XMPP Service, which holds the connection, into a foreground process. See the complete list of fixes, new features and improvements below.

A new Wauwl has been released today in Google Play Store. Under the hood, there are some major fixes to enshure improved connectivity, cached messages when the connection breaks and restores. Below you will find the changelog for version 2.0.7.

I have tried to put the complete changelog on Google Play Store in the “Recent Changes” textarea but it only allows up to 500 characters so I have skipped the bugfixes there. Now I am currious where these recent changes will popup since I haven’t managed to find them yet :-).

Enjoy,
