Bluyah Development Blog

Version 0.4.4 of Bluyah was launched late Friday night (thus the reason I’ve taken so long to post the announcement).  This release introduces some really great features, chief among them is support for Google Docs spreadsheets.  The complete list of enahncements / bug fixes is:

• Fixed bug with ‘bad decrypt’ on user Connector passwords [Ticket #105].  All connector passwords are encrypted and that encryption algorithm is tied to user’s own Bluyah account.  We discovered in testing that if user changed their account password, their connector passwords would become unreadable.  We’ve fixed this. 
• Fixed a bug whereby changing a column’s displayed name in the Report Edit screen would prevent user from retrieving any columns they had previously removed from the report. [Ticket #134]
• Fixed an error whereby if a user tried to hack the URL for a report export, the app would display an internal error rather than a friendly message informing them that the export they were looking for could not be found. [Ticket #85]
• Clarified and posted the Refund Policy for new accounts.  The Refund Policy is now part of the Terms of Service.
• Fixed an IE7 only issue affecting users attempting to login from the wrong sub-domain.  Now IE7 users are auto-routed to their correct sub-domain - regardless of which domain they initiated login. [Ticket #39]
• Google Docs support (Yeah!!!).  Bluyah now can read any Google Docs spreadsheet provided it meets the following prerequisites:
  • The email address you use to access the Google Docs account is a ‘GMail’ account (hosted domain accounts are not yet supported - but coming soon!)
  • The spreadsheet is in a tabular format with columns and rows.  Columns without named headers will not be imported.
• More intuitive Map Editing screen.  The map editing screen is now WYSIWYG.  You see what the map will look like as you’re defining which data you want to display on the map.  (See Fun with Google Maps for a more thorough explanation of the features)

As always, feel free to Let Us Know what you think of the latest feature set.  If you want to see some additional features in Bluyah, please submit a feature request!  If we don’t know about it, we can’t build it.
