Remko Tronçon: Swift 1.0-beta6 released

Remko Tronçon — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 19:54:58 +0000

It’s been a while since we released the previous Swift beta. As a result, the sixth beta is quite packed with bugfixes, speedups, and general improvements. The list of changes is too long to describe here, so head on over to http://swift.im/releases/swift-1.0beta6/ for details and downloads of the last Swift beta, and let us know what you think in the MUC room – swift@rooms.swift.im.

Remko Tronçon: Swift 1.0beta2 released

Remko Tronçon — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 19:08:15 +0000

It’s only been 2 weeks since we released the first public beta of Swift, and we already got a lot of feedback. Thanks to all of you who joined the MUC and sent us their comments and bugreports!

We decided that, before moving on to implementing the remaining missing features, we would first fix a bunch of small-yet-annoying ‘papercut’ bugs, and quickly release a new beta. This way, we hope to make the Swift experience a bit smoother for our valiant testers while we are busy implementing some of the larger changes. So, if you’re running Swift on a frequent basis, or would like to jump into our beta feedback cycle, head on over to the Swift 1.0beta2 page, and download the latest beta (we even have Ubuntu packages now!)

We are aiming to put out new betas on a regular basis, so stay tuned for more Swift goodness!

Remko Tronçon: (Still) Hard at Work

Remko Tronçon — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:26:13 +0000

Several people have been asking us about the status of Swift lately. Rest assured, we’ve been hard at work in the past months, despite all the job changes, house movings, and marriages slowing us down sometimes. And we have proof: below is a Gource visualization of the Swift Git repository from the past months (and we definitely wouldn’t fake that). Swift is getting very near to the beta stage, so stay tuned for more updates!

(Note: For some reason, the video starts out a bit flaky, but it gets better after a few seconds)
