From Pushover.net: "Messages are currently limited to 512 characters, including a title of up to 100 characters. Supplementary URLs are limited to 512 characters, and URL titles to 100 characters." - Fixed user images not properly showing in settings. - log of events now properly displays watched % at each snapshot. - Fixed logs not properly rotating. - Added Recently added support. - Added Twitter support. - Added Facebook support. ``` ---

I'm still running 0.0.0.70 because every version since then that I've tried has unusually high CPU usage; always a minimum of 50% CPU usage on my dual core compared to negligible 5 - 10% in cycles in 0.0.0.70 and earlier. I've tried toggling quite a few of the settings but can't seem to put my finger on the issue, any ideas? I'm not running the webserver in these newer versions, and in fact the only notifier is Pushalot. ---

Can I just ask (as have been on holiday out of the country), is the webserver side still under development so we can see all activity online or should I be able to see this now from the "Web" tab settings in the application. I still receive the same error when trying to activate the web server. "The system cannot find the path specified" "For more information about the error, run iiexpress.exe with the tracing switch enabled". Regards Tylor ---
