Howdy folks,

We recently have had a new colocation facility come online with more distribution servers. So downloads of services and the platform installers should now be faster worldwide.

We've had some complaints in the past especially with latency in Asia and various locations in Europe. So test out your latency and throughput to BrowserPlus servers (like, for instance, downloading the installer).

And if you ever notice "slow performance", drop us a line, we'd love to hear about it, and fix it!

Howdy all,

We're very pleased to announce today the availability of a new version of the BrowserPlus platform - 2.3.1. Many important bug fixes went into this version that were reported by the community, and we're deeply appreciative of all the time that people have taken to drop us a line and help us improve the platform.

In addition to several bugfixes, the following features have been added for this release:

• Administrative permissions are no longer required to install BrowserPlus
• Improved translations and several bugfixes for localized systems
• Smoother win32 uninstall flow
• Improved installation flow (check out the firefox/osx flow for a taste of how good it can be).
• More servers in more collocation facilities coming online in the next weeks.

These features should reveal our present focus - BrowserPlus should be...

• accessible to everyone
• absolutely bullet-proof
• the easiest software to install on the planet

So pull it down and have a look! And stay tuned in the coming weeks for some exciting new services...
