We’ve just submitted Folio 1.2.2 to Apple for review. It primarily addresses the crashing issue when opening single-page PDFs on iOS 4 devices. We know there are other issues, but this was a big one.

Folio 1.2.1
For your Thanksgiving week PDF reading pleasure, have a new Folio release. This is a minor bugfix release that addresses the following issues in 1.2:
Renaming files now uses the currently displayed name for the file (either the file name or the document’s title, if available)
Folio now remembers your location in the document browser even after being forced to exit while in the background

Folio 1.2 — Coming Soon
Hello everyone. As some of you know, we said Folio 1.2 would by out by the end of September.

Folio 1.1.2 is Available
We’re sorry for all of the update traffic; we promise it will slow down soon. Folio 1.1.2, which corrects the “dump my entire library and re-add it” bug, is now available on the App Store.

Folio 1.1.1 Hits the Store
Just a tiny minor update, but an important one. This update makes the internal browser auto-scale web pages, but more importantly it brings a marked improvement to the sharpness of rendered pages.

Folio 1.0.2 — Rejected
On the subject of updates, we’re sorry there hasn’t been one for Folio recently.
A bit over a week ago we submitted Folio 1.0.2 to Apple for review. As this release contained only minor bugfixes, we expected that it would be approved in short order. It turns out we were being optimistic. Eight days after we submitted we received this friendly note from Apple:

Welcome
Welcome to the Ballistic Pigeon blog. Our goal is to primarily post new product and update announcements, but expect to see a little news now and then between updates.
We’re going to try to keep the opinion posts to a minimum, although we’ll probably do the occasional “numbers” post as we think those are beneficial to the iOS development community at large.
