A million thanks for the quick turn around on bug reports found on the RC1 installer.

We got to fix a lot more (bugfixes on the bittorrent core will come for 1.0.7, those are a little harder to fix). 

Here's the updated changelog:

FrostWire 1.0.6 - APR/08/2013

 - Faster search results. Search architecture revised and improved.

 - Includes search results from archive.org, which indexes millions

   of public domain and creative commons works from all over the

   internet.

 - Reduces CPU and battery consumption up to 84%.

 - FrostWire won't disable screen locking during audio playback.

   It's now up to the user to set longer auto-locking timeouts if

   they want to use FrostWire as an audio player in their vehicles.

 - UI fix, media player screen is correctly updated if a song starts

   while the screen was locked.

 - Updated icons and graphics.

 - Improved mime type detection.

 - Supports WebM video search results.

 - Updated UPnP cling libraries for better Wi-Fi sharing discovery.

 - Multiple crashes and freezes fixed.

 - Opens .torrent files from urls and from any file browser.

 - Faster hashing and checking of ongoing and finished torrent downloads.

 - Fixes a crash when sharing files from third party apps like FileKicker

   which pass filepath uris instead of android provider uris.

 - Fixes double audio playback issue with third party media playing apps.

 - Fixes bug where the app would force close and restart on phones without SD cards.

 - Fixes bug on Android 4.x where finished document downloads wouldn't appear under

   documents.

 - Avoids crash caused by AdMobSDK and WebView's cache being null.

 - Fixes bug where sharing files from a third party app would open FrostWire

   in a way that hitting the back button would take the user to the desktop and

   not back into the third party app.

 - Replaced navigation menu for a better one that presents itself with a smooth

   brief zoom-in animation.

 - Navigation menu and transfer screen looks properly on Motorola Razor

 - More efficient use of Bitmaps should cut down on the number of Out of Memory errors on most devices.

(Travis Rhodes, please let us know if with this version you still get a force close when trying to open the nav. menu, this bug is pretty big if we didn't fix it for the Samsung Note 2)

Anybody got a crash or freeze with this version?

Hi Angel,

I have had no issues at all at this point. Will continue to test, but looks good at this point. I downloaded a almost 1gb file last night with no problem. :)

Well I got good news for ya. Whatever you did seems to have fixed it. No more force closes on the menu any more.

[Angel Leon]

Yes! Thank you Tim and Travis, great to find the force closes aren't there anymore, it was a good move

replacing the menu control.

We'll be releasing in the next hours, we'll be moving other fixes (and a few new features, the most important will be searching the files shared on wifi) to the next update.

Also lots of planned updates to make the file browsing experience better, namely picture browsing will be a lot better.
