• New icon! (Actually something we created ourselves)
• Ability to cut off friend list on distance or last update time. (Clean up entries of friends that don’t use Plazes anymore and/or use klinkr just as a radar.)
• Support for timezones (Should get all the times right in a nice readable format)
• Update the distances if you change plaze
• Couple of (layout) bugfixes

Unfortunately, we don’t have Linux support yet.

And, in case you’re wondering why we hit version 196 after only two weeks: that number represents the version of our repository at the time we released.

Update

A couple of small bugs were found, one of them in the new timezone feature (we got the timezone difference calculation backwards), which prompted a new release: 211.

Furthermore the sorting on distance is fixed (it ignored the part after the dot).

We also started on refactoring the code, making it easier (and more fun) for us to work on klinkr. As a user you won’t notice anything about it (if everything goes well) except maybe tiny performance improvements.

Anyway, we managed to get something decent done and now release our first version! With stunning features like

• Instantly see where your friends are
• Innovative UI to sort your friends
• Intelligent Centering™ to see both a friend and yourself on a map

Note: klinkr shows your friends, but doesn’t ‘plaze’ you, you still need to run the Plazer for that. Alternatively, you can make klinkr open Plazes in your browser when your network connection changes.

The big difference with the current Plazer is that klinkr does away with the ‘activity stream’ and simply flattens it to be a kind of ‘friend radar’, the feature we loved the most of the old Plazer (Aaah, remember those days?)

We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do, so, go download it!
