#AndStatus v.32.00 (205) "Sync older messages" published to the Open Beta testing channel https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.andstatus.app
What's new:
1. AndStatus now can download older messages of a Timeline. When a User have scrolled down to the oldest message of a timeline, the "Sync older messages" button is shown, which allows to request next page of older messages from a server. This may seem like a must have feature, but due to ability to store previously downloaded messages as long as a User wishes, it was not frequently requested. In fact, ability to view older messages may be needed mostly during the first day-two of AndStatus application usage, when there is not much data stored yet. #354
2. In order to simplify creation of new accounts, a long list of available "Social Networks" is divided into the three groups: Twitter, Pump.io and GNU Social. Now, when a User starts addition of a new account, he/she is prompted to select a "Type of Social Network" first. After this selection only social Networks of the selected type are shown. Actually, only one Social Network of Twitter and of Pump.io types are preconfigured after installation, so there is no need to select the only instance. But there are 7 preconfigured instances of GNU Social servers. Additional "Social networks" may be added by a User. #212
3. Another round to simplify AndStatus adoption by new Users.
* A form to add new account cleaned from irrelevant data. Added the "Home timeline" button showing a way to proceed after successful account creation.
* Added "Manage AndStatus accounts in Android Settings" item to Settings -> Accounts section.
* When you are creating new account and stay in a Web view, you can switch to another application (e.g. to lookup password) and back to continue account creation.
4. Fixed a case when Twitter message appeared truncated. #212

#AndStatus v.30.04 (198) published to the Open Beta testing channel https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.andstatus.app
Translations updated thanks to volunteer translators! (see https://crowdin.com/project/andstatus )
All known crashes fixed. Thank you for your crash reports!
In particular, we found a cause of intermittent application freezes for a second or two: loading and saving of the commands queue. Now this is done asynchronously.

@lakwnikos It is really not easy to find a cause of a Timeline freeze. The FAQ can help you: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/295
In addition, v.27.00 allows to see information about syncing, including time and error message of the last failure. Please join Beta testing at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.andstatus.app

@bulletbites In addition to what you already mentioned regarding help to the AndStatus project I want to add this:
1. Participation in Beta testing with feedback on bugs found and fixed via the Issues list at https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus (and sending Crash reports by email). Opt in for the Beta testing here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.andstatus.app As number of active users grows, beta testing becomes even more important...
I know that most of AndStatus users download it via f-droid, but f-droid repository is not convenient for developers, it is especially inconvenient for beta testing. And it doesn't even have a Beta channel...
2. Translation to different languages. Including creation of localized screenshots for https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.andstatus.app
3. Good reviews of AndStatus, based on your own experience, via different channels. Including reviews at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.andstatus.app Please share your success stories with others :-)
