Skyfire Makers Today Released
A Minor Update To Its Popular Web Browser

Just a quick heads up that Fring dev team today announced minor update to its popular free to download and free to use mobile phone application, related to minor bug fixes and general stability improvements.

As you remember, Skyfire has released the version 1.00 a couple of weeks ago and their R&D team has been hard at work going through users’ feedback, and they are pleased to release first update that should solve the bugs you reported and make the browsing experience even smoother and easier.

Perhaps the most significant improvement is reduced memory footprint which should help folks reporting issues on memory constrained devices such as the Nokia N95-1.

According to official Skyfire blog, there are also number of other minor improvements, bug fixes and security enhancements and it is highly suggestible to update it immediately by going to http://get.skyfire.com with your device.

Fixes in this release

• History is presented in the proper order.
  
• Cookies in the UK data center are handled more reliably.
  
• Sharing links via SMS are handled more reliably.
  
• Reconnect correctly loads the last page in history plus we’ve improved reliability.
  
• Site specific issues have been resolved for Rooftopcommedy.com and thefind.com.
  
• Zoom buttons behave properly and disappear after a couple of seconds.
  
• Default browser setting works more consistently.
  
• Text entry on Symbian has been improved with one caveat below.

• Multi-line text entry on Symbian: Skyfire might exit the text entry mode when the user is choosing a word from the predictive text list. Plus, using the down key might NOT get you out of text entry mode. If this happens, use enter or center OK. Issues 7149 & 7112
  
• Superbar state on Symbian: Under some circumstances, exiting the Superbar via the ‘cancel’ option will navigate to the previous page. Issue 7158
  
• Change connection on Symbian: Choosing the search WLAN option might not change the WLAN connection. Issue 6633.
  
• Samsung Jack (AT&T): Because of a security policy on this device, it will not allow uninstall of Skyfire if there is not SIM card in the phone. Simply insert a SIM card.
