0.2 版釋出! [0.2 released!]

很高興地通知大家，我們從上一版 0.1 的內部雛型版本釋出後，經過一年的努力開發。終於釋出 0.2 版。雖然這來得有點遲，而且許多主要功能仍無法完成，但我們還是決定先行釋出以取得更多使用者的聲音。

我們的程式簡單來說，可以通知你，你感興趣的網站更新，我們把這稱為一筆追蹤。你也可以知道其它人分享你追蹤的網站；你可以知道其它人在追蹤些什麼；你也可以和他們討論這些網站的內容。最重要的是，你不必再每天像得了焦慮症似地一直去同一個網站或某一個人的部落格看有沒有新東西。一切都將自動化，你只需要加入追蹤，然後等程式告訴你什麼時候可以去看了。其它時間，你可以閒下來，去看更多的網站，或者來場魔獸。

0.2版分為2大部份，也就是線上版和程式版。程式版主要供個人單獨使用，而線上版則是整合每個人的資訊。所以告訴你什麼網站有更新是程式版的功能，而線上版就是提供大家一起分享和討論的平台。你可以知道哪個網站現在大家都感興趣，或是你的朋友都在看些什麼。當然，你願不願意讓你的朋友也知道你在搞什麼鬼那是你可以自由設定的。

雖然各位從沒見過0.1版，但這裡我還是簡述一下0.2版的重大更新：

1. 線上版的網站！（是的，0.1版根本沒有線上版）
2. 程式版的全網頁追蹤和比對功能。
3. 程式版和線上版的功能整合，你可以在程式版內快速操作線上版才有的功能，當然，完整的資訊還是線上版才有。
4. 簡易的瀏覽器工具列，讓你可以在上線的同時加入追蹤及分享追蹤，和看到別人的討論。

注意到第2點的「全網頁追蹤比對」了嗎？我們目前程式版尚在努力開發中，較為實用的功能是「細部網頁追蹤」。我想你已經混亂了，簡單說，如果你想知道林志玲的最新圖片，所以你用google，打入林志玲，然後選圖片，接著追蹤這一頁。那麼你可以在每次有林志玲新圖片時就通知你。但是注意一下這網頁上有個 共費0.04 秒，你每次去查尋，都不會一樣。那麼全網頁追蹤會一直和你說有更新。但事實上，你才不想管它花幾秒鐘找到結果咧，只管給你圖片就對了。

這就是「細部網頁追蹤」可以派上神妙之處的地方了，你可以去掉那個該死的秒數，接著一切就會是你所要的結果了。這是我們接下來幾個版本會努力實現的功能。

當然，這不表示這一版本就不適用，事實上它仍可用在許多地方。例如維基百科。好吧，找個不那麼深奧的例子。例如你想買這件胸罩，但你想要知道任何新的出價資訊，新的問與答。那這時候0.2版就可以工作的很好了。這樣的例子還有很多，只要那一頁沒有一直不斷變動的無意義資訊，那麼你就可以試用看看。也許你還會神奇的發現，有人在和你搶那件胸罩，因為它竟然是熱門追蹤！

我想到目前為止，你已經很清楚我們的程式在做些什麼了。你可以試著下載程式，安裝，並立刻新增一筆追蹤來玩玩看。

我們還在努力的開發下一個版本，從這一版開始，我們每完成一個大功能便會釋出，0.3版相信不會太久，至少不會再是一年。目前大家都很關心我們什麼時候才能有更完善的版本，我們計劃是在年底，至少，我們得趕上明年四月的資策會競賽。

在那之前，你的任何小小的回聵，任何意見，任何問題回報，都會是幫助我們早日完成的重要參考。我們需要你的關注和幫助！請試用我們的程式，並告訴我們應該改善什麼，我們會非常感謝你的幫忙。另外，未來如果有一天，我們正式成立公司時，你們會是擁有優先認股權的早期使用者。當然啦，那有點先講得太遠了，下載來試試吧。

We are very glad to announce the 0.2 version has been released after one year hard work since prototype 0.1. Although this version released a little bit late, we finally decide to release it for more user's opinions.

Briefly, our program is used to notify the update of the web site you interested, we call that a 'trace'. You can know others share the web site you traced; you can know what web sites that others traced; you also can discuss with them for these web sites. Most importantly, you do not need to go anxiously to the same web page or blog continuously to see what's new in it. Everything will be automatically done for you, you just need to create a trace, the program will notify you 'there is a new update'. The rest of time, you can freely to see more web pages or play a Warcraft.

There are two important parts of 0.2, online version and program (desktop) version. Program version is for personal usage, online version is a platform to integrate everyone's public trace information. So, the notification function is provided by program version, the online version provides you to share trace and comment it. You can know what web page is hot or what web page your friends interested. Of course, you can decide to public your trace or not freely.


Although you guys never see 0.1 before, I still describe what's new in 0.2:

1. Online version web site! (Yes, 0.1 no online version)
2. Whole page trace and compare in program version.
3. Integration between online version and program version, you can do some interesting things at program version directly. But of course, complete information is online version only.
4. Simple browser toolbar, it makes you be able to create a trace, share it and see comments while you browsing.

Did you note the point 2 mentioned 'Whole page trace and compare'? Our program version is under hard work, the more practical function is 'Partial page trace and compare'. I think you are confused already. Briefly, if you want to know the latest images of Jessica Alba, you can type 'Jessica Alba' on google, click 'Image' button and create a trace to this page. You will get notification when there is a latest image for Jessica Alba. But please note there is a damn '0.16 seconds' on top of page. Every time you query for that, it will give you a different result. The whole page trace and compare function will notify you there is a update every time, but actually, you don't care about how many seconds google spent. Just images, please.

So, this is the function 'Partial web page trace and compare' works for. You can skip that damn seconds, everything will be what you want as you wish. This is the main function we will work hard at next few versions.

Sure, this does not mean this version is not useful. Indeed, it can be used at many web sites, for instance, Wikipedia. OK, let me try to find a easier example. If you want to see what's new of photo sets in this user of flickr (OK, this page is no RSS offered), 0.2 will works fine. There are many examples, you can try it if the web pages do not contain meaningless and always changed information. Maybe, you will find the page you traced is hot trace!

So far, you should know what our program do clearly. You can try to download, install it and create a trace to try.

We are still develop next version hardly. We will release next version if there is a important feature available. 0.3 will be released soon, at least, not after one year. Now, everybody cares about when we will done a completed version, we planned at end of this year. At least, we must try to release it before the contest.

Before the completed version, all of your little feedback, opinion and bug report will be very helpful for us to complete final version earlier. We need your care and help! Please try our program and tell us what should be improved. We will be grateful for your help. Download and try it!
