Snowl 0.3pre3, the third preview release of the next version of Snowl (the messaging-in-the-browser experiment), is now available. This version includes a few new features and a number of bug fixes.
In the river view, you can now see a day, a week, or a month’s worth of messages via the time period picker in the toolbar:
In the list view, you can now see how many new/unread/total messages you have, and both messages and collections can have icons indicating various states (new, refreshing, error, etc.):
Other enhancements include performance improvements and better support for searching for messages in non-English languages.
This is the last preview before the final release of 0.3. From here until that release, the focus will be on bug fixes and polish.
Try out Snowl 0.3pre3 and let us know what you think! But don’t forget that this is a preview release of a labs experiment, not a stable release of a finished product, and there are bound to be bugs and other issues.
Post your thoughts on Snowl to the discussion group, and file bug reports on the problems you encounter. Or join us for discussion in the #labs IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org. And if you’re interesting in hacking on Snowl, check out the source code.
