Acid Rain Client 0.5.0 is available for download.

Finally, after solving some problems Version 0.5.0 reaches stability.

As stated in the previous post, the main new feature is the inclusion of communications between the client and an Acid Rain server, which lets you send links to files within your public folder. It is allowed to send the link via email or copy it to paste elsewhere later.

This feature is conditioned to the use of an Acid Rain Server because it includes Mercurial plus a number of additional methods to communicate with. So, if  you use an ordinary Mercurial 
account  you won't see this option.

After releasing the ISO with the server, I thought of having the client version available in a couple of weeks, but sometimes things get complicated.

Because of this,  a preview version of Acid Rain Client 0.5.0 for Windows and some Linux distros can be found in downloads section.

Finally ARS is ready but tests on the RPM version continue. Despite of this, the ISO version is the first to come and you can download it here.

In the previous post, we talked about the work that was being done on the server and some pending issues to fix. Now, as an status update, here's a screen shot of the existing gallery in ARS.

After resting for a couple of weeks, It is time to return to work. Now is time for the server, which is suffering a few changes:

• Firstly, Acid Rain Server (ARS) will be distributed mainly as an RPM. This package is designed to be installed on any PC you have in your house with capacity to be a server. Until now It was distributed as an ISO, this was an inconvenient if you wanted to install it on a machine that you had already running.

Acid Rain 0.4.1 is available.

The main new thing is the inclusion of Mercurial 1.8.4 bundled in the installation file. This makes easier the whole installation process. In addition, there are a lot of bug fixes.

Acid Rain 0.4.0 is available. This release has been focused on improving the embedded file browser and researching the behaviour on mobile devices.

I've been silent for a long time, it does not mean I'm not working on the project. In the recent weeks I have been improving Acid Rain's file browser, in fact it has become a kind of subproject.

I'm also trying to improve compatibility with mobile devices, doing some research on qt-mobility, and thus turning a little crazy because of the different reactions in different OSs.

Version 0.3.5 of Acid Rain is now available.
