- New feature that allows Quick Compose to be used in the lock screen mode – Nice!
- Added support for “delivery receipt SMS notifications” using carrier prefix codes, e.g. #N9 (it’s not proper SMS protocol level delivery receipts, it just asks your carrier – if supported, for an SMS notification upon delivery). For prefix codes see: http://www.sosiphone.com/blogiphone/sms-delivery-notification-codes-worldwide
- New Accents / Diacritics feature, whereby accent and diacritic characters are replaced with their equivalent non-special characters, e.g. á replaced with a. The intent is to maximize the number of characters you get when sending an SMS message.
- Added a passcode feature to control access to biteSMS and native Messaging applications.
- Added “Forward” feature in Cut&Paste menu on bubble double-tap inside the biteSMS application (SMS only, not MMS).
- Added a heap more smileys :-)
- Added a smiley setting to allow “Short Code” version of smileys to be used, e.g. :) instead of :-) to save on the number of SMS characters used.
- Added smiley setting to allow encoding of smileys to be Emoji or ASCII.
- When user enters the text field and it only contains a signature, the cursor will now be positioned before the signature (currently it’s wherever the user touches).
- The autocorrect feature now works correctly.
- Added Mon, Tue, Wed…etc to the Settings, Carrier SMS Plan, Reset Counter feature for those on weekly plans.
- Added a setting to allow the Quick Reply read / unread circle feature to be turned off.
- Added a setting for Quick Reply to “Auto-Close” if set, when you press the Send button the window auto-closes.
- Added a setting for Quick Compose to “Auto-Close” if set, when you press the Send button the window auto-closes.
- Added a new nicer Favs icon for the Quick Compose window.
- Updated the start-up image (default.png) displayed when biteSMS starts-up to include the settings icon as well.
- Fixed Bug in Quick Compose and Quick Reply, where you entered text, lock, unlock and then the entered text was gone.
- Fixed issue when using biteSMS sub-menu (from long-hold / double tap in text field) upon clicking back in text field, the cut&paste menu would be shown again.
- Added a setting in Quick Compose called “Default Last To:”, which defaults last entered contact into the “To” field.
- Added a shadow effect in the Quick Compose and Quick Reply screens.
- New pink send button in Quick Compose and Quick Reply screens.
- Fixed iGo and Chopper from crashing when biteSMS installed.
- Fixed issue, whereby upon first start-up of biteSMS after upgrade or install, it crashed due to other Mobile Substrate applications being active.

the following bugfix caught my attention:
Fixed iGo and Chopper from crashing when biteSMS installed.
i had bitesms previously installed but had uninstalled it.
before it was installed, i had synced chopper from my itunes to the iphone.
i hadnt noticed it while bitesms was installed but after uninstalling it, chopper crashes to springboard as soon as i select the mode ie.normal, hard etc.
so it doesnt crash at startup indicating that the app is actually compatible with my 3gs on fw 3.0
so although bitesms is now uninstalled, is it because that it was earlier installed that chopper still crashes?

I want the feature to send my location back. So i can encourage my friends to buy bitesms in order to know where we are.

I would never buy this application.
I sent the developers two very simple questions about purchasing and reinstall after a crash, in the form of 2 emails.
Never got a single reply on either occasion.
just exactly why is it so difficult for these people to provide the simplest support?

Hi all,
BiteSMS is the perfect app for my and I think also for everyone else!! Gives more features that Apple left out. Only thing I would like to see is a notification option that notifies you every i.e. 2 minutes when you received a SMS.
