HP webOS Developer Blog

I’m happy to announce we’ve released a new version of the SDK and it’s now available for download.

This version is primarily aimed at fixing the installer issues that have been reported on Windows and Macintosh. The  “rollback” issue and the problems some people had with the installer on XP with DLLs being replaced improperly leading to BSOD problems are fixed, as is a problem installing on a Mac when the emulator wasn’t properly uninstalled first.

There are no changes to the Linux SDK, and no functionality changes to the SDK itself, so if you’re currently up and running, there’s no need to download and install this update. You can get more details in the Release Notes.

Downloads of this new release are available on the download page.

We have released Palm webOS 1.1 and your phones will be asking you to install the update.  You can get more info about the update from our press release and from the list of new features.

This release brings the phone’s OS version in sync with the SDK, which will simplify device testing.

I’m very pleased to announce that effective today we are wrapping up the webOS early access program. We are doing this because today we opened up the program to everyone and released our new public developer portal at http://developer.palm.com. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work by a lot of people here at Palm, and I want to be the first to thank them for making this happen.

This is one more step in delivering webOS to all developers and providing the tools they need to build great applications for Palm phones.
