http://www.pocketemu.com/news.php THIS IS THE LINK FOR THE NEW RELEASE TODAY...MODS FEEL FREE TO CLOSE THIS AND UPDATE THE OTHER THREAD IF UD LIKE...ITS BACK ON THE SECOND PAGE AND THERE ARE SO MANY POSTS IN IT I FIGURED IF I PUT IT THERE RIGHT NOW NO ONE WOULD SEE IT...THANKS...AND EVERYONE SHOW LOVE TO THE CREATER FOR HIS HARD KIND WORK...IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

- WM6 support only (previous WM5 support intact, new features may not work)
- Fixed broken plugin and audio manager downloading
- Changed the way appearances are stored. All appearances are now stored in zip files instead of folders to save space on your device. If you have any custom appearance sets, you must zip the files INSIDE the folder together, then name the zip file whatever you like. Take a look at the sets included for an example.
- Removed the "Pocket Hosts" method of redirecting weather. You must now be running a version of HTC Home with N2A's modifed DLL. If the entry is set in your registry, the customizer will remove it.
- Changed the weather DB location function
- Explorer dialogs are now alphabetical
- Added application downloads (only AudioManager works for WM5)
- Fixed some other minor annoyances
- Added a few sets to the repo (still working on the preview site)
- Updated downloadable Home plugins to N2A's modified for local weather

Hmm I've been looking into adding it but:

1 where is the official thread? There's many of them, didn't see a stickied one.
2. Slow downs, are they present with the recent most builds?
3. Are both easy to uninstall or will it take a H-reset to clean my system of it?
4. Will it interfere with "SPB Smart Scrolling"?
5. Having a Mogul, Will I need the Sprint HTC Home Plugin?

I did see some answers but I'm more interested in these applying to the latest builds of HTC HC & HTC Home plugin.

Thanks...

1. There's no official thread because all support is maintained through my website now (www.pocketemu.com).
2. Are you referring to system or plugin slowdown? The only time I've ever had plugin slowdown with HTC Home is when my contact's pictures are stored on a Storage Card. As far as system slowdown, I've heard about it with all versions of the plugin however have never experienced it myself with any of the recent builds.
3. Yes. When you uninstall the HTC Home Customizer all content in that directory and reg keys created by my program are cleaned. You can then manually uninstall the Home Plugin from Remove Programs. Not sure if the Home Plugin reg keys get cleaned properly, something to look into.
4. I don't use the program so I'm not sure on this one.
5. No. The Sprint Home Plugin is different than the HTC Home Plugin. It's just a bar with a couple of shortcuts to common programs. I believe it was intended for the Touch/Vogue and serves no real purpose to Mogul users.

As far as being current, all downloadable plugins through the customizer have been updated to the latest known versions for WM6 as of today. I hope that clears up any confusion or questions you have about this release.
