It was very quiet during the last weeks, but today we release build #15 - a small sign of life.

The most obvious change can be found on our homepage. A new front- and a new about-page including a small screencast. But also the applications itself got some small new features:

• A collapse/expand all button in the left menu bar
• New keyboard shortcut (”e”) to collapse/expand nodes
• An image “load-indicator”
• The birdview now is resizeable

Image export was delayed a bit - but will be online very soon - promised…

This build is primarily a bug fixing release. We’ve fixed some bugs with IE (import javascript error, getting stuck in map move mode), added some more number icons, support of https:// links (without adding an unnecessary http:// prefix), fixed the bug that hidden children have been selectable using the keyboard and fixed a bug concerning image links.

A new little feature concerning collaboration: Users now can remove shared maps from their map list. If a user got plenty of collaboration invitations the list became longer and longer and the user wasn’t able to do something against it because the mindmap creator was the only one who could reset the collaboration. Now also the invited user can remove the collaboration.

And finally some sweet stuff concerning the node editor:

• UTF-8 support
• Implicit apply

UTF-8 support finally enables it to create mindmaps in languages like traditional chinese. And the implicit apply means, that you don’t have to press enter or click “Apply” to save the changed text. The text will be applied implicitly when clicking another node for example. This should fix the minor bug described by lwein in a comment to this blog.

P.S.: PDF & image export coming soon!!
