Current Version: 0.9 beta

Updates
A List of things that have been accomplished in this version release:

  • Connection Detection and Handling
    We now detect whether you have the Internet connected and automatically pause the photo slideshow. And yes, when your Internet connection resumes, we resume the slideshow as well.
  • Asynchronous, asynchronous!
    Everything (all Internet traffic) happens asynchronously, now. For the rest of you who don’t get that, the gadget will now not stop responding, while it’s getting information and photos from Flickr. Which is good. :)
  • We’ve got wheels.
    Whenever the gadget is talking to Flickr we show a (shhmoooothly, if I may add) rotating wheel on the photo. You may like it, you may like it not. Tell us what you think.
  • Other fixes
    The known issue where the options frame’s buttons wouldn’t highlight to show the selected tab. Click on options on the remote to figure out what I’m talking about.
    Better labels for the start with windows option.
    Other miscellaneous fixes that I really don’t wanna go into for sake of brevity.

Great going guys!!

I have been running the flickr gadget on my machine for more than a day now and it has been working perfectly without any errors. I think we are ready to go!

Dhiraj, we sure do need to change the spinner, it looks horrible.
