X-Lite, The Blog

Some of you have probably noticed a new button on the last beta of X-Lite 4.0. It’s located in the toolbar area, and is on the far right. This button will bring up the new X-Lite dashboard, where we plan to introduce a few new web-based features in the near future.

Right now, you can search for local companies in various companies, browse the CounterPath store on Amazon, view this blog, and also access our support forum. We’re going to be trying to add a few features in this area that we think will help people use X-Lite. One of the main benefits of this approach is that we can continue to make adjustments to the features in this area without having people download a new version each time to utilize some of them.

If you’ve registered X-Lite as your default SIP handler during the install process, you should be able to place calls directly from the dashboard. We’re going to be improving the functionality of this feature at some point, and will hopefully allow people to store contact lists, call history and other information in these panels.

Feel free to browse around. We’ll undoubtedly be refining this content in the near future, but the dashboard will definitely be in the new X-Lite 4.0.

If you want to check out the store, you can visit this link. You can also purchase accessories from now on by using the link on the sidebar.

Here’s a relatively new build for X-Lite 4.0. This version contains only bug fixes. As I mentioned in another post, we’re still modifying the look and feel, and will be releasing a new version with UI enhancements soon.

Download the Windows version here.

We whipped together a neat little mashup to show everyone where all our X-Lite users are currently located. Hundreds of thousands of people use our product each and every hour, and we thought it would be pretty cool to show where they all were.

If you’d like to take a look, head on over here to take a look.

Sorry for the delay in posting everyone. It’s easy to work up quite the appetite changing the world, and most of us spent the long weekend up here refilling ourselves with turkey dinner instead of blogging. That said, we’re back at it and continuing to do improvements with X-Lite.

First off, thanks everyone for all of the feedback so far with regards to our new X-Lite version. Lots of people emailed and said they absolutely loved it. A few people were concerned that the UI looked a little flat, and I just wanted to let everyone know that we’re making changes as we speak. Hopefully I’ll be able to post something to the blog here in the next week or so allowing people to test it out.

I’ll also be posting a slight refresh for X-Lite 4.0 shortly (this will not include the new UI elements, but contains a few bug fixes), so look for that today or tomorrow.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please drop me a line. I’m also working on a real-time map of where X-Lite users are located, so everyone can see the usage from the blog. Look for that shortly as well.
