Where’s 1.7 at?

It’s been over a month since my last post – and in that time Microsoft have officially unveiled the Windows Phone 7.1 “Mango” update to the world – very exciting news for developers and users alike.

But if you’re here I guess more importantly you’re wondering where Springy 1.7 has gotten off to? After all, it was initially meant to be out late January / Early February?

Well, it’s coming, next week! Finally! There’s just one little set of bugs to fix and then it’s off for certification.

But what’s taken it so long? Well, every single page in the application has had major code rewrites, for both performance, memory and aesthetic reasons, as well as code clean ups. Infact, the Profile & Inbox pages have been rewritten over 4 times each in the last few months, with me trying out various ideas to squeeze al those extra drops of performance out of the system! It’s been a lot of effort, but it’s going to pay off… well, even if only ever so slightly! Winking smile

Hang tight fellow Formspringers, it’s not long now!
