We are excited to release our newest version of Skyfire for Android today. The update is available in Android Market and the full version number is 2.3.1.19478.
Fixes for 2.3.1:
- Fixed streaming performance issues for Droid X and Droid 2 Devices!
- Proper Streaming support for HTC EVO (found a workaround for EVO device specific issue)
- Improved overall streaming performance for all FroYo devices
Enhancements in 2.3 release:
- Fixed streaming performance issues for Droid X and Droid 2 Devices!
- Support for Fix for some Android 2.2 related issues found on the HTC EVO.
- Video playback: We improved our overall video streaming reliability, thus you should see a much lower occurrence of video timeouts with this new version. More enhancements are in the works, so video reliability will continue to get better.
- YouTube: On July 23, YouTube changed some of its APIs, causing YouTube videos to fail occasionally. This release resolves that problem.
- Desktop/Mobile switch: When switching between Android and Desktop mode of a page we better preserve the original page URL to reduce confusion due to page redirects.
- Video startup time: Video playback start time improved as much as 5 seconds.
Fixed in 2.3 release:
- Startup Crash: For some users, Skyfire would intermittently force close startup. Fixed.
- Battery optimization, especially when Skyfire is in background
- Samsung Galaxy S: Better support for Flash 9 to co-exist with Skyfire Toolbar.
- Find on page: functionality fully working now
- Exit Skyfire in Android 1.5: On Motorola Backflip and HTC Magic it is now possible to properly exit Skyfire via a long-pressing the ‘back’ key.
Thanks,
Your Skyfire Team
