Another day, another drop.
I just posted MobileCast 2.2.4 Beta drop 113 (the numbers are based upon the svn revision) to the Installer.App via our source. There are 2 significant things about this drop:
1. Were testing out a new icon, the plan is to rotate all the mobilecast icons that have been contributed over the next couple of svn drops. This will give BETA testers a chance to experience each of the icons before they vote for the next official mobilecast icon.

Todays Icon was contributed by Gert, who has also started to contribute some code recently. Thats right folks, contributing code gets ya priority
Thanks again Gert!
2. The second thing of interest in this drop is that we’ve added yet another config setting. Again this is under the “Add Feeds” page. I swear we’ll get our own settings page very very soon! Anyways it looks like this:

The new setting is “BasicAuth on Items”, it allows you to control whether or not we send HTTP Basic Auth headers to items in password protected feeds. Some protected feeds require this, however I’ve got a feed of my own where the rss is password protected but the items sit publicly on amazon s3. Unfortunately S3 barfs when you send it basic auth headers for public items. I would have expected it to ignore them, but whatever, we have this setting now & my feed works again so I’m happy
PS - when we get a feed specific settings page this will be one of them. It really shouldn’t be a global setting like it is today.
