|---|---|
| 2.1.22 (185)Thu, 15 Jul 2010 | |
| Compatibility fixes for recent changes to MySpace. |
|---|---|
| 2.1.21 (184)Wed, 14 Jul 2010 | |
| Support for new profile versions. |
|---|---|

| 2.1.20 (182)Fri, 09 Jul 2010 | |
| Compatibility fixes for changes MySpace made to approving friend requests. |
|---|---|
| 2.1.19 (180)Wed, 07 Jul 2010 | |
| A profile's full name is now imported and can be used via variable substitution. The variable is ${NAME-FULL} and will substitute the first name based on some algorithmic magic. A license is required to use this feature. |
|---|---|
| It's now possible to clear the sorting for a list view by choosing View > Sort By > Clear. This can be used to work around a bug in Mac OS X 10.6 that can cause a rare crash when sorting is used. Hopefully Apple will fix it soon. |
| It's now possible to demo the Song Plays and Video Plays Increasers if you don't have a license or have a standard license. |
| 2.1.18 (177)Thu, 24 Jun 2010 | |
| Improved robustness of the Song Play Increaser. Some people have profiles containing bad HTML which prevented the correct functioning of increasing song plays. Now in most cases this is worked around. |
|---|---|
| Improved reliability of re-posting bulletins. MySpace will translate certain characters which prevents successfully matching them and deleting the old bulletins before re-posting a new bulletin with the same content. A new matching algorithm will detect this in most cases. |
| 2.1.17 (175)Tue, 22 Jun 2010 | |
| Fixed crashing problem that could happen if you canceled a workflow. |
|---|---|
| Fixed problem with the song play increaser where it would get stuck trying to reload a profile if it couldn't find the necessary information to complete a song play. |
| 2.1.16 (169)Mon, 21 Jun 2010 | |
| The Song Play Increaser will now show progress for intermediary steps between hits. |
|---|---|
| Increased max number of file descriptors that can be used on Mac OS X 10.6 (the method of setting this changed from Mac OS X 10.5). |
| Failed logins are tried two times before an error is displayed. Lately MySpace has been incorrectly showing error messages for successful logins. |
| 2.1.15 (163)Thu, 17 Jun 2010 | |
| Fixed problem where file descriptors could be exhausted after several hours. |
|---|---|
| Fixed problem where Spyder Helper would hang around longer than it needed to. |

|---|---|

| Fixed possible hang when sending friend requests, messages, or comments. |
| 2.1.12 (143)Wed, 02 Jun 2010 | |

| 2.1.11 (139)Sat, 29 May 2010 | |
| New options in the Help menu. Ability to request technical support directly in the application. |
|---|---|
| Improvements to the Song Play Increaser. Song plays are now performed realistically and they will now show up in your artist dashboard. As a consequence each hit will take much longer to complete than before and each hit includes a profile view automatically. If you have an Elite license and are using proxies it is safer to use a smaller amount of delay. Spyder is the first to feature this unique new technology that will improve your rankings in the charts. |
| Login issues fixed. It appears that MySpace changed some people's home page to omit the sidebar with alerts on the left part of the page. This could just be a temporary bug with MySpace. |
 | Fetch limits are now set at 10,000 by default. You can change this in the Data Storage preferences at the cost of using more RAM for large user libraries. |
| 2.1.10 (136)Tue, 18 May 2010 | |
| Video Plays Increaser support added. Works with all profiles that have videos. |
|---|---|
| Proxy support added for Song and Video Plays Increasers. |

| Your last selected sidebar item will be selected the next time you open a user library. |

| New feature allowing you to automatically skip connections that get stuck due to errors. A lot of friend requests to China get stuck (probably due to the Great Firewall of China), this will help you skip those problem connections.

| Compatibility update for recent MySpace changes to searching. |

| Event invites are now supported (through the MySpace calendar). |
| 2.1 (104)Sun, 24 Jan 2010 | |
| Support for friend categories. You can now create, and edit your friend categories. This is useful for organizational purposes as well as sending event invites. Now that MySpace uses Social Plan to manage their events there are some limitations in place that affect the arbitrary inviting of users. Social Plan knows about your friend categories and can mass send an event invite to any of your categories. |
|---|---|
| Support for groups. You must know the groupID in order to import it, simply copy/paste a valid link to a MySpace group to accomplish this. |
| Ability to import users that sent comments to you or other users. |

| Fixed issues with duplicate messages being sent to users in certain rate situations. |
| If you are using Mac OS X 10.6 your user library will automatically be updated to support the new features. It may take an extra minute to open. If you are using Mac OS X 10.5 your existing user libraries won't be able to support groups or friend categories until they are updated. You can update them by opening them with Spyder 2.1 on Mac OS X 10.6, they will still work on Mac OS X 10.5. Any new user libraries you create will be able to support all the new features. |

| 2.0.63 (98)Mon, 02 Nov 2009 | |
| Fix for importing friend requests when you have more than a 1,000 pages to import. |
|---|---|
| 2.0.62 (96)Sat, 24 Oct 2009 | |
| Formatting fixes for sending messages. When you send a message without any HTML tags break tags will be added for the newlines. MySpace will still compress multiple new lines into one newline though. If you need specific formatting for comments continue to use HTML which is automatically stripped when sending comments to people that don't accept HTML comments. |
|---|---|
| 2.0.61 (95)Wed, 21 Oct 2009 | |
| Compatibility update to recognize when messages are sent. |
|---|---|

|---|---|
| 2.0.55 (86)Mon, 28 Sep 2009 | |

| Sent messages aren't synchronized if you have that option disabled in the Account preferences. |
| 2.0.54 (84)Wed, 23 Sep 2009 | |
| Compatibility update affecting the approval of friend requests. |
|---|---|
| Work-around problems in broken MySpace pages affecting the import of sent friend requests. It appears that the paging links are no longer visible when looking at sent friend requests with a web browser. Fortunately Spyder can work-around this. |
| Work-around problems in broken MySpace pages affecting the import of friend requests. The same problem that affects sent friend requests has now infected the paging of friend requests. Perhaps MySpace needs to hire some quality control. |

| Fixed issues with importing some users. With the new MySpace method of looking at user profiles [http://www.myspace.com/###] the ### could either be a text string of the users choosing or their identifier. As it turns out someone could choose any number of their choosing that overlaps with someone's identifier causing the wrong user profile to show up when you click on the GoTo button in the user list view. |

| 2.0.39 (64)Mon, 22 Jun 2009 | |
| Improved compatibility when browsing users photos. Now all the photos from all albums will be downloaded. |

|---|---|
| 2.0.27 (46)Mon, 20 Apr 2009 | |
| Work-around fix for some issues with KVC and KVO in Apple's frameworks that could cause stuck connections. This doesn't mean that if you have stuck connections this was the problem. It's still the case that 99% of stuck connections are a network issue, usually related to how intensely you are using your bandwidth. |
|---|---|
| 2.0.25 (44)Fri, 10 Apr 2009 | |
| Support for MySpace's new "No More CAPTCHAs" feature. If you don't plan on using "No More CAPTCHAs" you can disable the new login methods in the Advanced section of Spyder's preferences, or leave it on. |

| 2.0.20 (37)Thu, 05 Mar 2009 | |
| Fixed problem where sending duplicate messages could occur even if the option to stop this was enabled. Note, that in order for duplicate messages to be blocked Spyder needs to know what messages you've sent. Now when you have the option to block duplicate messages selected when sending messages Spyder will automatically pull your sent messages. |
|---|---|
| Fixed problem where a hang could occur when canceling a workflow in progress. |
| New options for controlling which parts of an account are refreshed when you perform synchronization. You can find these options in the Accounts Preferences under Advanced. |
| Added two new Pro only features, you can now download someones new friends only, or their top friends only. This is useful if you are only interested in locating users that are likely active. You can initiate these actions by selecting a user and choosing the corresponding action from the Action menu. |
| Improvements to Smart Folders. The country predicate now has a popup button with all available countries you can filter by. Previously you were required to enter the 2 digit country code. There is a new predicate "friends with" that allows you to tie filtering to people that are friends with a specific user. Enter their identifier in the text field. |
| 2.0.19 (36)Tue, 24 Feb 2009 | |
| Compatibility update for MySpace changes that affected retrieval of messages, and sent messages. This is related to the new V2 messaging system MySpace has changed to. |
|---|---|

| 2.0.18 (35)Mon, 23 Feb 2009 | |

|---|---|
| Truncate selection feature added (you can find it from the main menu: View > Selection > Modify > Truncate...) |
| Added option to Sidebar preferences to supress creation of "Skipped..." folders. |
| There is a known issue in Mac OS X 10.5 with hangs occurring during a save ( rdar://problem/5705356 ). Apple is aware of the issue and is taking the matter seriously, hopefully 10.5.7 will have a fix for this. Unfortunately they've informed me that there is no known work around I could implement. From my experience trying to work through this issue I've discovered that you may improve your chances of not running into this issue if you avoid manually saving the document. Spyder will automatically save periodically and when you close a document or quit the application anyways. |
| Fixed bulletin editing. The correct bulletin will now come up for editing instead of the last one in the list. |
| Hopefully dates will now show up in messages for users in different locales other than the US. |
| Fixed random crashing bug when entering CAPTCHAs. |

| Compatibility fix for version 1 profiles and recent MySpace changes. |
| 2.0.7 (16)Wed, 07 Jan 2009 | |
| Improvements in the way the main menu Action menu items are enabled. Should be less confusing for most people. |
|---|---|
| New additions to smart folder predicates. You can now filter based on if a user has a preview picture and if the user is or isn't in the black list folder. |
| Improved handling of CAPTCHAs when sending friend requests over multiple connections. Essentially you should see fewer CAPTCHAs depending on how many simulataneous connections you allow. |
| Now allow increasing profile views without also increasing song plays in the Song Play Increaser window. |
| Importing and sending event invites now work with recent MySpace changes. |
| Various fixes affecting stability. |
| Possible fix for login issues if you are in a multi-language locale (parts of Switzerland, Belgium, etc). Although I'm not it one of these regions so I'm not able to test it... Hopefully this will fix locale settings for anyone having trouble with dates not being imported also. |
| 2.0.6 (14)Wed, 31 Dec 2008 | |
| Improved memory usage and performance when importing large amounts of data. Completely re-wrote the underlying network connection layer in Spyder to avoid using NSURLConnection which was the cause of many memory leaks and crashes. |
|---|---|
| Updated browsing to work with recent MySpace changes. |
| Fixed crasher that would happen when dragging users from the user pane when Friend Requests was selected in the sidebar. |
| Fixed anomlous behavior at startup when Spyder wasn't the front most active application. |
| 2.0.5 (13)Thu, 18 Dec 2008 | |
| There is a known bug in Mac OS X that leaks memory when many NSURLConnection objects are used simultaneously. The problem is being worked on and I hope to have a solution soon. You will experience this issue if you are importing a lot of user profiles, usually the process will crash due to running out of memory at some later point. You can some what reduce the possibility of a crash by only importing a few user profiles at a time, and by reducing your maximum number of connections. (rdar://problem/6455535 and rdar://problem/6452901) |
|---|---|
| Worked-around Mac OS X bug that would sometimes cause a crash when Spyder first launches. |
| MySpace changed how their friend requesting code works and Spyder has been updated to be compatible with it. |
| MySpace rolled back their new event invitations code to the older method, thus Spyder has reverted to using the older code as well. |
| Fixed bug that caused hang when deleting friend requests. |
| 2.0.4 (11)Mon, 15 Dec 2008 | |
| Improvements to memory usage when importing user profiles. If you continue to have problems with this try lowering the maximum number of connections in the Network preferences. The more simultaneous connections you allow the more memory that is required to be held before it is written to the database file. |
|---|---|
| MySpace has recently updated their login procedure to now (finally) login using encryption. It seems that sometimes their server certificate isn't in the root certificate authority and this could cause an error during login "bad server certificate". This has now been fixed so that it doesn't care and login continues as usual. |
| Fixed bug that could cause a hang when deleting messages. |
| 2.0.3 (10)Thu, 11 Dec 2008 | |
| Significant performance improvement when importing a lot of users. You'll notice that users now update in batches of one hundred instead of each individually. |
|---|---|
| Significant performance and memory improvements for large documents. |
| New Pro only feature: now you can delete your friends on MySpace. Choose "Delete Friends" from the "Action" menu. |
| Fixed a problem that could sometimes cause sending comments to fail if you had the "Avoid sending duplicate comments" checked. |
| Importing your events works again, and so will sending event invites. MySpace recently changed how their events work and now it appears you can only send event invites to your friends. |
| 2.0.2 (9)Wed, 10 Dec 2008 | |
| Sending and replying to messages works again. Overnight MySpace changed their message code to include an additional submit button, I think something to do with attaching a video in a message and this was causing the problem. |
|---|---|
| Friend requests work again. |
| The "Strangers" sidebar item is now a global special item (just like the "Black List"). This should clear up any confusion it had earlier with sending friend requests. "Strangers" is now the inverse of the "Black List" which means when you are working in "Strangers" you should always be able to send friend requests. |
| Fixed some instances where a previously opened document wouldn't open at startup (if you had that option enabled). |
| Fixed some cases where the application would get stuck on errors from MySpace. |
| 2.0.1 (6)Sun, 07 Dec 2008 | |
| Added option to allow Spyder to open the last used documents on startup. |
|---|---|
| New preferences "Data Storage" which allow you to control how much data you are storing in your files. |
| Added an option to perform a partial upgrade of an older Spyder 1.4 user library. A partial upgrade will copy over only user's identifiers and the custom folders you had them in. Once you have them in a 2.0 format database you can then refresh their details from MySpace directory. It may be necessary to use this option if you are running out of memory when trying to do a full upgrade of a previous user library. |
| Window locations, and list views column widths and sort orders are now saved. |
| An alert will be displayed if you are trying to send friend requests to users that are all in the "Black List" sidebar item. |
| Improved the "Strangers" per-account sidebar item. Now only users you can send friend requests are listed wich means the "Strangers" sidebar item will now only show users you aren't friends with, haven't sent a friend request to, and aren't in the "Black List" sidebar item. |
| Fixed incompatibility when people with over 999 pages of friends would cause only the first page to be downloaded. |
| The "Black List" sidebar item contains users that are friends with any of your accounts, that any of your accounts have sent friends request to, any of your accounts have received friend requests from, or that you've manually added. |
| Using Little Snitch and Spyder will cause Little Snitch to crash and Spyder to hang indefinitely. This is a problem with Little Snitch not Spyder. The only known work-around is to uninstall Little Snitch. |
| 2.0 (1)Mon, 01 Dec 2008 | |

|---|---|
| Improved user interface navigation. To view other users friends (assuming you have them downloaded), double-click the user in either the list or icon views. Use the back and forward arrows to navigate the relationship history. |
| Event invites are now supported. Before you can send event invites you must load them either by synchronizing or selecting the appropriate action. To send event invites select some users and then either choose the appropriate action or control-click to bring up the contextual menu. |
| Sidebar improved to allow smart folders, automatic tracking folders and now lists all known accounts. Also included is the Black List special smart folder which automatically excludes users from being sent friend requests. |
