Hi all,
Despite the ongoing saga which is Zooomr, I have been making steady progress with jUploadr 1.2. I’m about ready to release an alpha version that supports the following features:

Noticeably faster thumbnail generation for most photos. Most photos taken with a digital camera actually have thumbnails in them. jUploadr now reads them and displays them [...]

For those of you that haven’t been following, here’s the score:

jUploadr has been updated to deal with Zooomr mark III’s latest path updates. It is all updated on sourceforge, the release is complete and all that remains is a blog post and a switch flip.
However, even though jUploadr is complete, I can’t release this version [...]

Thomas posted an entry that gives the conditions for the release of jUploadr’s API key. Note I didn’t mention a specific time, but instead it will be released “Once we have 100% stability”.
Here’s hoping Zooomr measures stability using sufficiently small time-slices. It would really suck if they waited a year or so. I know [...]

I’m aware that jUploadr 1.1.2 does not work with Zooomr mark III. I’m in constant contact with Kris Tate about this, and have builds ready to go. When he adds jUploadr’s application key and gives me the go-ahead, I will release 1.1.3.
I apologize for the inconvenience, I know using the form-based upload mechanism is a [...]

For all those Ubuntu users with the following error:

Starting JUploadr…
Java exec found in PATH. Verifying…
Suitable java version found [java = 1.4.2]
Configuring environment…
GCJ is an incompatible version of java

Do the following:

sudo update-alternatives –config java

You will see a list of java executables. Just choose Sun’s version.

1.1.2… The release that won’t die.
So, Kris IM’d me and told me to make a release and change the api endpoints. So I did, and then this happened, so I have to change them back.
Which I did.
So now we have the third release of 1.1.2.
Enjoy… There shouldn’t be any more 404 errors.

So Kris Tate from Zooomr IMs me today to let me know that they’re releasing Mark III and I need to update the URL that jUploadr uses to connect to Zooomr. So, I rolled a couple builds of 1.1.2 and made sure to compile them with Java 1.4 –even the Mac builds.
Sorry about that, [...]

I released jUploadr 1.1.2 tonight, it’s almost identical to 1.1.2beta1, except with a small tweak for mac users. If you have 1.1.2beta1, I’d say stick with it unless you *have* to have the latest.
I’ve been working on 1.2 a lot recently, and I have to say, it’s looking very swell indeed. Once I [...]

Hi all,
I’ve maintained support for Java 1.4 long enough. I’m tired of casting everything that comes out of collections, I want varargs, and I want type safety, and as such, I’ve decided to move to Java 1.5.
jUploadr 1.1.2 will be the last version developed in 1.4. I’m not sure yet if I’ll make the builds [...]

Hi all,
I just released 1.1.2beta1 which is a minor update to 1.1.1. There are several performance improvements, zooomr rotation and a couple of bug fixes (see the release notes). Most notably, the windows version now has a native executable to launch rather than the much loathed batch file. No more command window!
Also, jUploadr has [...]
