The new 0.6.3 version of LauncherPro Beta is now available in the Android Market. It focuses mainly on bugfixes, stability and performance, but also adds a couple of new features.
Here’s what’s new:
Removed some useless memory usage in the dock. Should improve stability.
Fixed a bug when scrolling to a dock that had all its shortcuts set to Blank.
Fixed a force-close issue when installing/updating/uninstalling apps from the Market. I haven’t been able to reproduce this problem so I’m not 100% sure it’s fixed, but it should be.
Fixed force-close when choosing custom dock icons on certain phones (mainly HTC Sense phones)
Fixed force-close when scrolling the app drawer before it had finished opening (I think that was only a problem on Android 2.2).
Added a “Motorola Droid hack” option under General Settings inside the preferences. If you have a Motorola Droid or Milestone, you should check this for improved scrolling performance. If you’re running a custom ROM, you might want to check the performance with this on and off, if there’s no visible difference in scrolling smoothness, disable it.
Fixed the dockbar sometimes randomly switching to a non-default dock, even if dock scrolling is disabled.
Fixed the dockbar switching to the default dock on orientation change.
New option to select the number of docks. You can choose 1, 2, or 3 docks.
The “Enable dock scrolling” option has been removed. If you want to disable dock scrolling, set the number of docks to 1.
New option to use your phone’s trackball to switch homescreens. It’s under Homescreen Settings in the preferences.
