Traffic Android Blog

This is just a quick update for those of you wondering when the 1-4 update is going to be available.

Having had a lot of people using the program and a whole lot of feedback, bug reports and reports on how people are using the software, I’ve had a good chance to evaluate exactly what the shortcomings of the program are and what needs to be done in order to not “paint myself into a corner”, so to speak.

As a result, the 1-4 release has taken longer than anticipated to get out the door, but I think the delay will be a good thing as it means better longevity for the program, better reliability and will make it easier to implement the suggestions people have been sending in.

The main reason for the delay has been due to testing of multiple ways of evolving the task system and adding more tasks. It’s important to consider that Traffic Android has to interact with a lot of different websites and seeing as the idea is to get the software talking to a lot more than it currently does, you can imagine that any issues with the currently-supported set of sites will multiply dramatically once a whole lot more sites are added.

To address this, I’ve been working on making sure that Traffic Android handles communication with each of these sites in the most streamlined way possible and that the mechanism it uses to do so does not cause huge headaches after a lot more sites have been added to the supported list. I’m fairly sure I’ve worked out the best way of doing this, so please bear with me while I get things upgraded.

Traffic Android is not going anywhere and is only going to get better. I am determined to make this the best system of its type available anywhere.
