This release mainly addresses some issues with regards to the USGS site changing some of their urls and paths. I have updated the applet in order for all urls to load correctly and direct you to the right web page. You can download it here: Equake GNOME applet v1.02

I am happy to announce the v. 1.01 release of the Equake GNOME applet. You can download it here: Equake GNOME applet v1.01.

Changes since v. 1.0 are:

- A change in the preference file will now be noticed and propagated in the application for real, this happens at the time of an update (either the timed update or through the menu)
- Added “Region:” string to the map label and url, added some punctuations

Earlier this year I released version 1.04 of Equake and Equakelite on the Android market:

Besides a number of bug fixes and improvements in performance I added a lot of new features. Such as:

• Sorting of a list of earthquakes by magnitude, region and date
• Quick navigation to top or bottom of a list of earthquakes
• Ability to reconfigure app while it’s running (also for the Lite version)
• Added option to increase readability using a semi transparent background (also for the Lite version)

In addition the Lite version will now load a tab with information about the earthquake when you press the info button, instead of loading the market to show the full version.
