Also, a rare issue was fixed where the main window might become unusable if a URL or a title with multiple adjacent spaces was entered, then the link was posted while still having either field focused. This was due to the way Pukka auto-trims extraneous whitespace before, after, and within the text of these fields. In the event that Pukka's "hide after submit" feature was enabled, triggering this issue could make the whole application unresponsive.

Also, a minor issue was fixed on Tiger where the about box application icon would occasionally show up smaller than normal.

• Removed a check on the local Spotlight cache that would run 30 seconds after launch and could cause unresponsiveness in the application. The Spotlight caching mechanism has been updated to perform in a more incremental fashion to avoid the need for this.

• Pukka now waits at least five minutes between API requests of all bookmarks, preferring requests of the latest 15 bookmarks, to ease strain on the API and to avoid getting throttled. This includes between restarts, since quitting and relaunching Pukka quickly could sometimes cause strain on the API.

• Added CFBundleShortVersionString to app bundle, which will make Pukka's version number show up in Finder's Version column.

• Upgraded Spotlight metadata format to store bookmark data in folders organized by username instead of one big folder. This improves performance during local cache updating.

• Resolved a Core Data issue that may have caused a delay between when bookmarks were cached and when they appeared in the application.

• Changed the interval used to check for bookmark updates online from one minute to three minutes. Although this was a very slight hit on the API, it was reduced in the interest of scaling back a bit because we can.

• A Growl notification is now shown when the bookmark cache on disk is updated. This occurs whether all bookmarks were re-parsed or just the latest 15, and for each account.

• The successful post Growl notification was updated to include the page title and the account posted to.

• A specific error message is shown if a post fails due to API capacity issues or throttling, as opposed to a general error when posting (network, internal server error, etc.)

• Any kind of posting error shows a panel with a "critical" alert style to indicate that data was not saved and may be lost if the application is quit.

• Fixed two small memory leaks related to tag sorting in the bookmark menus.

• On first run, a modal panel is shown as the bookmarks are cached for the first time. When this panel was hidden, the animation would continue. For cleanliness, this has been stopped.

• Trivial about box updates: Two issues were tweaked with the icon animations. The randomness of the selected animation was made better and a PNG representation of the app icon is passed to the animation instead of the .icns file directly. Lessons learned from Ironcoder ;-)

• The HTTP timeout for sending posts was reduced from the default of 60 seconds to 10 seconds to avoid making the app unusable for up to a full minute in the event that the link can't be posted.

• A bug was fixed in the debugging console which prevented it from always scrolling all the way to the bottom on appending new content.

• During posting problems, we now report exactly the message that was received from the API to the debugging console.

• a hang at launch time when using Bonjour
• a possible crash when caching bookmarks in the background
• the inability to autocomplete tags after using a comma to select the first completion

• Ready for Leopard
  Pukka is ready for Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard". For more information, see the blog post.
  
• File -> Close works as expected
  The File -> Close menu item would not work on the preferences or about windows if they were in front, but instead would attempt to close Pukka's main window. This has been fixed.
  

A bug existed that would prevent Vienna from passing RSS items to Pukka. This has been corrected.

Also, to clarify, only NetNewsWire currently sends selected item text as the description (or the whole item body if there is no selection). NewsFire sends the entire body all of the time and Vienna sends no text for the description, regardless of selection.

• Truncating of RSS reader and bookmarklet highlighted text by default

  Pukka now truncates descriptions passed from RSS readers and the bookmarklet to 255 characters by default.
  
  After Pukka 1.5.1 introduced the proper passing of highlighted descriptions from RSS readers, many users noticed that not highlighting anything would pass the entire news feed item body as the description, often with thousands of characters. This is because the posting protocol doesn't distinguish between highlighting the whole body and not highlighting anything. While we are working with the developer of NetNewsWire to enhance the posting protocol to overcome this, we hope that this addition will provide a reasonable default in the meantime.
  
  This default can be overridden by performing the following command in Terminal:

  defaults write net.codesorcery.Pukka AcceptLongDescription -bool true

* Mouse-over help tooltips have been re-added to the preferences.

* Many memory optimizations have been made, which should result in a faster startup time as well as lower overhead while running.

* A new introductory screencast has been added and is suggested to first-time users. [Help -> Watch Intro Screencast]

* Keystroke shortcut for changing accounts made easier (now Command [ and ] and no longer requiresthe Shift key).

* The self-update framework has been upgraded and now features the ability to skip an upgrade as well as a periodic check (every day) for a newer version.

* Minor bugfixes: menu item enabled/disabled states, Bonjour tweaks

* There's a new option to hide immediately after submitting a link, which defaults to off. If enabled, Pukka will hide immediately and only alert you if there is a problem. This can be combined with the Bonjour notification or can just use the sound effect, or even no notice at all.

* Added a new (final?) application icon.

* Anytime you send a URL to Pukka, whether by opening a link file, dragging a URL, or posting from NetNewsWire, Pukka comes to the foreground and is ready to post, regardless of whether you had a window open already or not.
