1.0rc2 is out, a bit new..., 2010-08-07 01:24
There we go, version 1.0rc2 is now out on the market. No saved data is changed so you can safely upgrade and resume your game in the new version.
As I wrote in the last blogpost there is not a lot for you as a player to notice about the upgrade.
But I stumble into some interesting stuff when I was browsing the developer pages. There is now an API for the backup manager (See code.google.com/android/backup/ for more info about that) and since it sounds like a nice feater it's now implanted in the game.
If you ever factory reset your phone, root and install a new rom, buying a new phone or just delete the game, all your hard work is gone... But now when the backup manager is in play, all you need is to download the game again from the market and all your saved data is magically back as if you never deleted it!
Please note that this feature is only available on phone running Android 2.2 using Google servers and having a backup transport on the device.

Next version: Nothing new!, 2010-08-04 20:43Soon there will be a new version of astroCommander, 1.0rc2, the last in a long chain of beta releases. All releases after that will be deemed as full versions.
And the news in it? Absolutely nothing :)
Well, the truth is that it will of course contain some new stuff, but nothing that you as a player will notice. The gameplay will be exactly the same and all of your saved data will be intact when doing an upgrade.
It will have some internal changes as I try to clean it up a bit after all changes made to the source during the test period. The most important change for me is that it will send your upgrades when submitting/updating hiscores. With this data I will have a better view of where the coins are spent and if I notice anything wrong (From my calculated "normal game experience") the upgrades will have a tweak in version 1.0.
Due to the nature of how the hiscore data is stored on your phone and how the update works the upgrades will only be sent after you have got a new hiscore. This I hope will not be a big problem since most of you out there have an ongoing hiscore in your current game or start from a saved restart point and dont have that long to your hiscore from there.
And version 1.0 will be out not long after that. It depends on the amount of new data that I receive and if I need to act on it or not. So please break your hiscore and send it in asap when you install rc2, the faster I get your data the faster 1.0 will be there...
