We spent the last few weeks polishing off our latest release which went live on the 25th. It’s got some great new stuff that adds speed, stability and some cool new features.

Highlights:

The Messaging Windows are MUCH faster and have some slick new features. The grey title bar now has an icon to remind you what network you’re messaging on and you can size the pane where you type messages by dragging the three dots.

The application is much more stable in general and you’ll see some big improvements in keeping your connection alive.

There are some new graphics in the friend list and reliability of AIM away messages is much better.

There’s also a cool new ‘Zoom to Location’ feature. Right click (CTRL+click on Safari) on a picture in the grid and you can select ‘Zoom to Location.’ This will zoom the map right to the location of that person. Give it a whirl, it’s really cool.

And a slew of bug fixes to make using radius much easier.

The next release will be in a week or two and include:

MORE SPEED! We’re making some changes to the app which will make it run much faster..especially in IE.

Some tweaks to the look and feel. With each new release we take a fresh look at the app and think of ways to make it easier to use. Look for some new graphics that should make things more intuitive.

Improved support for ICQ and Jabber.

These days we’re hard at work moving radius closer and closer to beta and today’s release is a big step in the right direction. We’re excited to share it with everyone and hear what you guys have to say.

Highlights of the release today are:

• More love for the Safari web browser crowd - works much better!
• Easier sign-up process - less info from you and get to the app right away
• Timestamps for offline messages - good to know when they were sent
• Login is WAY faster
• IMing on the other networks (AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, GTalk) is much more stable
• Cool lat/long URL so you can auto update your location when you log in. This link, for example, positions you at Whistler after you login.

As always, pass along any feedback and let us know if you see anything funky.
