The original bugginess had a lot to do with memory management and has been reworked completely to correct these problems. In addition, the new Shovel app (3.0-ish) includes much more intelligent story loading and is much faster in browsing between multiple stories and accessing the stories themselves (through an in app browser window).The current build features access to Instapaper and Facebook and has features in place to allow digging up/down as well as leaving comments which will be made available as soon as Digg releases these features through their API. Overall the rewritten app feels much more streamlined and quick, and I expect current users of Shovel to experience a massive boost in speed and usability when they upgrade to Shovel 3.0Key Notes: -The 3.0 release will have a free (ad supported) and paid version. -Overall memory management has been vastly improved -A more extensive debugging process has been undertaken with this release -Digg has NOT released digg up/down features to their API as of yet -These features have been written into the new Shovel app already, all that remains is the API functionality to interact with the Digg website The shovel app is currently being rewritten and is very close to release.

The current build features access to Instapaper and Facebook and has features in place to allow digging up/down as well as leaving comments which will be made available as soon as Digg releases these features through their API. Overall the rewritten app feels much more streamlined and quick, and I expect current users of Shovel to experience a massive boost in speed and usability when they upgrade to Shovel 3.0

Key Notes:
-The 3.0 release will have a free (ad supported) and paid version.
-Overall memory management has been vastly improved
-A more extensive debugging process has been undertaken with this release
-Digg has NOT released digg up/down features to their API as of yet
-These features have been written into the new Shovel app already, all that remains is the API functionality to interact with the Digg website
