Software Update: LochJournal 2.2

It’s not an unknown story in the open source scene: a program that started as a hobby project but is becoming a lot more popular than its creator ever thought. It happened to Linus Torvalds with his Linux operating system and it also happened to Mark Smith with his LiveJournal client LochJournal. It’s that latest piece of software that reached version 2.2 yesterday, the first stable release in its 2.x series. For a story with advantages of LochJournal over alternative programs you should here to be. On that same page we find a short piece about the new release:

This version features the long awaited checkfriends support. This gives you the ability to know as soon as someone posts an entry on your friends page! LochJournal now supports this feature through the Edit Alerts menu within the Profile menu.

This version also sports a full featured installer, much like earlier 1.0 series versions. It makes it very easy to install!

As always, please let me know what you think![break]The new version of LochJournal is available at SourceForge to pick up†
