Over the past week since Automatous' initial release, many bugs have been squashed and features have been tweaked. Here's a current update for things that are new to Automatous.

New Additions

"Invite Friends" Page

Added a fews days ago, the ubiquitous "Invite Friends" option found in many Facebook applications has been added to Automatous. This page only list friends that do not already have the application. Be sure to invite as many people as possible to help test Automatous before it's official open release.

Hacking Detection and Prevention

User privacy and hacking prevention are the highest priorities for Automatous. Recently added a back-end feature, a new system for hack reporting has been implemented to quickly identify and resolve any problems that arise. After review, the abusive user can be banned from the application. If you have any questions or concerns reguarding your privacy as an Automatous user, please reply to this message.

An (Almost) Stable Status Update Server

If you've been missing some status updates over the past week, it's probably because the server software used to do the actual status updating has been constantly tweaked. This is make it as stable as possible when bugs arise. As time progresses, update outages may occur, but a system has been implemented to watch the activity of the server. This makes bug identification and crash recovery as quick as possible.

Features to be Added

Date Timing for Updates

At the moment, only adding weekly status updates are available. But, plans to implement status updates on (and between) specific dates are in the works.

Status Resets

Currently, once a status update completes it's cycle, your status is cleared. An option to return your status to it's previous text (before the automatic update) will be added soon.

Internet Explorer Fixes

If you are experiencing problems viewing Automatous in Internet Explorer, these problems will be fixed in the future. Currently, support for IE 7 is planned. If you are using IE 6, please update to the latest version of Internet Explorer to see the changes once they are implemented. But for now, using Mozilla Firefox is a solution for viewing Automatous as it was intended. Also, Firefox is a awesome browser to keep!

There is no specific time frame for future updates, but be assured they are being worked upon.
