An update on FrostWire 1.3.0 for Android

[Angel Leon]

Out last update was back in december, and we've been working on a lot of stuff to make the app better.

We're getting close to a release and I'd like to share the most important updates so far:

FrostWire 1.3.0 - APR/09/2014

 - Upgraded BitTorrent engine with latest code from Azureus project.

 - Added uTP packet congestion support.

 - Upgraded Android SDK target to Ice Cream Sandwich's API (15 - Android 4.0.3).

   Users on Android devices running older versions will have to use FrostWire 1.2.3

   or upgrade their operating system to +4.0.3 to receive further updates.

 - Removed cling library for Local peer discovery, switched to JmDNS compatible with

   frostwire for desktop 5.7.1.

 - Considerable memory handling improvements, lots of leaks fixed which should lead

   to very little out of memory errors from crashing the app.

 - Added optional sponsored search results by Appia.

 - Minor upgrades to audio player and Frostclick.com's free promotional downloads.

 - Added TPB search, search results available only when on a Wi-Fi connection.

 - Added Monova search, search results available only when on a Wi-Fi connection.

 - Multiple bug fixes.

Before we release we're going over this list of bugs
https://github.com/frostwire/frostwire-android/issues?milestone=1&state=open

We'll soon be releasing beta .apks for you to catch more last minute bugs and we should have a  major release.

Then after this, we'll be working HEAVILY on a user interface update. I'll attach a couple screenshots of our current designs so you see where we're headed.

Cheers

FYI, there's a beta installer available now for all of the members in this group on Google Play.

Feel free to make it crash, freeze as much as possible (as long as you send back those crash reports)

Cheers.
