New desktop client milestone release 0.4: major performance improvements

Inbox2 Support Team Apr 01

Hi,

We just released a new version of the desktop client. You can update your desktop client in a couple of ways:

  1. Inbox2 checks for an update after 5 minutes after start (and then every hour) and will install this update the next time you restart
  2. You can force an update from the options screen (click the tool icon in the top bar of the application) and then on the options tab, click the "check for new version" button
  3. You can uninstall the application and then reinstall it from www.inbox2.com

A big thanks to everybody for submitting questions, suggestions and issues!

Here is an overview of what we changed:

Memory usage

- Replaced chromium with IE again due to chromium memory pressure
- Fixed a couple of memory leaks

CPU usage

Inbox2 now uses 0% cpu in idle state, we will still be optimizing CPU usage during send/receives etc:

Contact combining

We have added a feature for adding profiles to contacts you are viewing. This means if Inbox2 isn't able to combine a contact for whatever reason you now have the tool to fix this:

We hope you like it, do let us know what you think!
