fruux v0.6 & public beta
Although we are a bit late, we are pleased to announce fruux 0.6. This version still contains no iCal syncing (sorry for that), but we changed a ton of internal stuff, that allows us to include new features in the next version, give you even better performance and reliability as well.
public beta
This version allows new users to join our beta test. Just download it and register a fruux account yourself (you need a valid emailadress, otherwise you wont be able to activate it).
Changelog:
- (FEATURE) self registration feature (allows new users to create a fruux account)
- (FEATURE) fruux autoupdater (allows us to deliver new features to you)
- (FIXES) A ton of bugfixes and performance optimizations
If you are are current fruux betatester, this is (hopefully) the last time you have to update your fruux client manually. Please download the new client version and follow our update instructions.
Please contact us if you need help, experience bugs, have a suggestion or simply want to tell us how much you love fruux 
If you are interested in speeding up development, feel free to support us and please suggest your top priority feature!

3 months and no features? I understand the auto updater but self registration? I’d hoped for tons of new features, not the least bookmark (Safari, Firefox and cross browser please), preferences and keychain syncing. I’ve been using Fruux for several months now and the address book syncing is wonderful and flawless, but the lack of features is driving me to Apple’s mobile me.

We suspected, that our decission (investing in the foundation, before investing in new features) wouldn’t be that popular, but we still think that it was the right decission.
Performance and reliability is a very important aspect for our project and we already did a lot of work behind the scenes, so probably you wont have to wait another 3 months until our next release.
Please also keep in mind that this other project you mentioned (mobile me) belongs to a company, which has “slightly” more resources than we have
Hope you’ll stay with us and look forward for our next release.

If you want to keep your users you will have to offer them some features. Then again they have to work reliably too, I agree with that completely. It would be great if we get some more features sooner than 3 months. I am looking forward to it already!

Great, that you are still in the loop!
As I said a some days before:
“probably you wont have to wait another 3 months until our next release.”
The next release (including new features) is really imminent
