[ Updated on October 19, 2011 with new beta release download links. Fixing Facebook connection, new Layout engine, ... Enjoy. ]

We’ve been (and still are…) working real hard at improving our Socialzine concept and implementation, and we are excited to release a new beta version that will enable you to view and read your social networks updates, as well as information feeds in a beautiful magazine style layout.

What’s new since the previous release that was described in this post ?

Well, it’s no longer just your social networks, we have added many news sources, like Google News, Digg,  Reddit, HackerNews, … from which you can pick the ones you like.

And of course they all can be displayed in a magazine style layout, enriched with more text, photos and videos than the original feeds.

Each entry can be opened in a click to get the original article.

Below are the links to download this release if you would like to become a beta tester.

If you were already using a beta release, we suggest you first uninstall it but please be aware that:

- uninstalling will require that you set up your accounts again when you install the new release.

- if you have a Yoono username, and are using Yoono with this account on more than one computer, do not choose the option to delete the account when uninstalling. That would make your other computer unable to connect and would require you to uninstall and install again on each of them.

Some changes between the two beta would make your experience temporarily less satisfying if you just installed over the previous one.

To launch Socialzine (Firefox or Chrome):

1. Ensure you have at least one Facebook or Twitter account connected to Yoono
2. After installing the new build and launching, click the small magazine icon in the thin bar at the left hand side of Yoono (immediately under the Menu button with the wrench on it)

The Yoono Team

Hi, dear fans and users,

We just released on our web site the new versions to fix the Facebook issues you reported.

It’s the issue that displayed an error message on Yoono when you tried to add Facebook.

There is another one, but it needs to be fixed by Facebook (they told us they are working on it), it’s the one where Yoono keeps waiting for you to login on the Facebook page, even after you have typed your login and password. Facebook then displays your account without notifying Yoono.

To work around this, all you need to do is to have the settings on your account security page: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=security set like this :

Secure Browsing Secure browsing is currently enabled.

Login Notifications Login notifications are disabled.

Login Approvals Approval is not required when logging in from an unrecognized device.

After you finished adding FB to Yoono you can switch them back to the values you like.

Many other bug fixes are also included:

- loop issues on Linkedin Pages with Firefox add-on

- Twitter conversation are back (when twitter make them available)

- url bar resetting issue on Firefox when typing an url

Please update from http://www.yoono.com

The fixed releases are:

7.6.12 for the Firefox add-on (will be available in a few days on the Mozilla Add-on repository)

0.2.6.12 for the Chrome extension

1.0.0.12 for the Chrome Web App

1.8.12 for the Yoono Desktop application on Windows, Mac and Linux

The iPhone version is pending validation by Apple and should be available toward the end of this week.

Thanks for your feedback, patience, and support !
