Birdfeed 1.0.1 Submitted

Just a quick note to mention that we submitted Birdfeed 1.0.1 to Apple last night. This release is quite minimal, and is mainly focused on solving the dreaded “Account Amnesia” problem. One of the most frustrating things about iPhone development is, of course, that, thanks to Apple’s approval process, we have no way of knowing when this fix will see the light of day. While we’re all waiting, though, you can rest assured that we will be pushing hard to address the other issues you all have been reporting in a 1.0.2 release. Thank you for your patience and continued support!

Update: Birdfeed 1.0.1 is out, and it fixes the Account Amnesia problem.
