The addition of a Twitter output in Jing is clearly a noticeable update. However, two more changes coming on December 8th might go unnoticed by most people.

On Mac, Don made improvements to the History that will be especially appreciated by anyone who has their History filled with hundreds or thousands of captures. It has to do with speed and memory improvement and Don will talk more specifically about those later.

On Windows, our uber-intern, Dennis, refactored the code for the capture selection window and it's dramatically improved.

I sat down with Dennis to learn more details. Check out his Jing Art glasses.

Mike: Dennis, I'd love to tell our readers about your improvements to the selection window...but I don't really understand it. Can you explain what you did?
Dennis: I significantly reduced the lines of code, but more importantly the code is much easier to follow now.
Mike: What does your work mean for our users?
Dennis: Essentially, the idea of improving the code in the selection window was to improve the user experience of both selecting an area to capture on the screen and make it easier and safer for any future modification or improvement we may wish to make as developers. Key points are:

• The best thing is that future modifications of this process for us will be easier and less risky
• You might see minor speed improvements
• The selection process should feel somewhat more natural and stable
