Waveboard 1.1 for Mac
With the introduction of Safari 5 an update of Waveboards browsing engine was needed to improve stability.
When Safari 5 was published by Apple most Waveboard users experienced an error message on the Google Wave page. It turned out that the cause was that Safari 5 when run in 32 bit mode was not compatible with Google Wave. Even Apple was surprised when I discussed the issue with them on the WWDC in San Francisco last week.
Waveboard has been using this 32 bit mode to support the Google Gears plugin which needed this mode. To fix the problem I needed to update to 64 bit mode, but also drop the Google Gears support. Anyways the Gears plugin was is not supported by Google any more since HTML 5 features making their way into most browsers now.
On the Google IO conference a lot of new features have been added to Wave. I am planning to add support for those features like custom domains for business and advanced notifications in a next major release. If you are interested in the latest releases you might want to turn on ‘ Include beta releases’ in your Waveboard prefs.
Thanks for your support.
