nWire 1.3.0 Beta Updated

April 21st, 2010

We launched the nWire 1.3.0 Beta about a month ago (read our previous post) and got some good feedback. Today we are releasing the second beta, which is faster and more stable. It also further improves the usability, more details hereunder. This release is stable enough, so we recommend you try it out and let us know what your think. Please send your feedback and bug reports to support@nwiresoftware.com, visit our forum.

What is new in the second beta of nWire 1.3.0?

  • The search accuracy and sorting was improved. It works in a more "fuzzy" manner, trying to find the most matching results. Try it out and let us know what you think.
  • The navigator elements will load asynchronously, without delaying the user interface. A spinning wheel is shown while the navigator items are loading.
  • nWire loading is now done in the background after the Eclipse workbench is open. Thus, nWire will not delay the Eclipse startup.
  • The scanning of files for changes which was done after Eclipse starts is now optional. You can turn it off in the preferences. You can manually invoke such a scan from the nWire Tools menu (right click on a project in the Project Explorer).
  • The rebuilding of the search index which was done after Eclipse starts is also optional. You can turn it off in the preferences. You can manually invoke such a scan from the nWire Tools menu (right click on a project in the Project Explorer).
  • More performance improvements

Please use the following update site URL to install the new beta: http://update-beta.nwiresoftware.com.

If your trial license expired, don't worry about it: you can activate and start another trial with the new beta.
