In the last one or two weeks I’ve been getting a lot of questions about Sweeter Home progress and “when is it being updated?”. I got in touch with the developer yesterday to find out. He got a little waylaid at Google I/O with another project and has just got back into the swing of Sweeter Home again. He said to expect Preview 2 in “weeks” not days.
Sweeter Home Preview 2 will introduce a new theme format that isn’t backwards compatible with the Preview 1 format. The old format was a binary format that wasn’t durable or flexible. The new format is XML-based and should be very flexible
This means Preview 1 will receive an update to a “bridge” version, allowing you to save your Preview 1 themes into the upgraded Preview 2 format! Cool, we don’t lose our themes.
There’s some other cool stuff too which will surface soon. In the meantime myself and others are testing a closed beta of the bridging P1 version which is basically exactly the same as P1 but with the extra export option in the menu.
So YES, updates are coming!!!
I'm really looking forward to the next release of Sweeter Home. I hope they make skins installable as packages you can publish to the Market.
Yeah man! More video once the new version gets released!
