Official Release of avast! Mobile Security

[George Yves]

I wonder why Avast team don't publish here, on the forum, announcements about new AMS versions with the history of changes as they do it about Avast for Windows. The information that is published on Google Play is insufficient and contains no valuable information.

[Filip Havlicek]

Current release has been done by different people than usual, that's why there was no changelog here on the forum. Although the changelog here is usually the same as on Google Play since there is often no point in posting every line of code that has changed. If I think users on the forum should know more than on Google Play, I try to post it here when release is done. I didn't really keep track of the changes from 2->3 as there were too many so apart from the obvious, I can't tell you right now what has changed a top of that.

Could you start with what's new in v3.0.6018 in comparison with 3.0.5994?

[Filip Havlicek]

As far as I can remember right now, there were some fixes and changes in the purchase part of the app, a fix for a crash on AMS dashboard, a fix in avast! Account registration process and... probably one or two more fixes, but nothing gamechanging.

Thank you but I'd like you to make a list of changes like it is done for Windows versions. Users at 4pda.ru often doesn't realize what they will see on their screens as soon as they download and install new versions, so sometimes they try to catch any gossip (for example, they were sure that AMS v3 will be completely paid). That's why I would like to supply them with the information from the first hands and to attract their attention to our forum here.

[Filip Havlicek]

You mean like here? http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=132502

Well, that's not possible I'm afraid cause unlike the above mentioned topic, we got 1 day between the updates, you can't possibly expect we'll do anything big in that time frame. And I'm pretty sure Windows versions don't list all small bugfixes as well.

Filip

[George Yves]

No, I don't think that users need such a detailed list of changes. I would like to see a short list of fixes, improvements and so on. Have a look at the pinned topic in the German section: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=90820.0 I even envy Asyn that he has all the necessary information but I don't know where he is getting it from. I could have translated his posts into Russian but I don't speak German.

[Filip Havlicek]

He only translates changes on Google Play / my posts here on the forum.

[George Yves]

Well, I opened https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avast.android.mobilesecurity&hl=ru&referrer=utm_source%3Dwww.avast.ru%26utm_medium%3Dlink%26utm_content%3Dfree-mobile-security%26utm_campaign%3DAMS and in the section "Что нового" (What's new) I can see only a list of general changes that have been made in v3.x and no information about changes in different builds. But Asyn, as you can see, has more detailed information about AMS builds.

[Filip Havlicek]

What I see is:

Google Play:
+ New App Locking feature (Premium)
+ New Ad Detector feature in Privacy Advisor (Premium)
+ Dashboard redesign, plus additional interface changes to improve user experience
+ New features inside Anti-Theft (e.g. Geo-fencing, picture taking)
+ New Backup functionality
+ Bulgarian language added

Asyn:
- Neues App Locking Feature (Premium)
- Neues Ad Detector Feature im Privacy Advisor (Premium)
- Überarbeitetes Dashboard plus weitere Änderungen der Benutzeroberfläche zur Verbesserung der Nutzerführung
- Neue Features in Anti-Theft (z.B. Geo-fencing, Foto machen)
- Neue Backup Funktion
- Diverse Tweaks und Fehlerkorrekturen

He actually missed the Bulgarian translation. And if you are talking about Anti-Theft, the changelog is written inside the app I think. But I don't develop nor release that app so its changelog is not known to me.

Filip

[George Yves]

Yes, the same list is in the Russian Google Play and it is valid for all builds of AMS v3 branch. But if you look at the next Asyn's message (and at all his messages there) you'll note that he publishes information on every build.

[Filip Havlicek]

Yes, because up to now, I published all that information in this thread. The only version I didn't publish here is first v3 (applies what is on Google Play right now) and the first update that came out yesterday, for which Asyn wrote "Various tweaks and bugfixes", which applies pretty much for every version we release.

Filip

[Asyn]

He actually missed the Bulgarian translation...

Thanks Filip, added it.

[Filip Havlicek]

Thanks Filip, added it.

No problem If you think what I'm saying here to George is incorrect, feel free to correct me!

No need to correct you.

Have a good weekend,
