(On this date in 1954, Ardito Desio’s expedition became the first to summit K2, the world’s second tallest mountain.)

Today’s update (and the few smaller ones since the last update) brings a ton of new features, stability improvements and bug fixes. I’m not going to list them all, but one of the big ones addresses some problems I found with the photo viewer. That’s a pretty important area, so I spent a bit of energy on making sure it works really well. Now it’s a nice Flash component which will degrade to plain ol’ HTML should Flash not be available. So this ought to work well for nearly everyone.

I’m really happy with how this first release of Dibs turned out. It’s got everything I had planned, plus a few other great features. So, since everything looks stable, I’m starting to sell my own stuff on my personal site, kevin.dibs.net. You’re welcome to sign up and start buying and selling, too!

And don’t forget to subscribe to The Treasure Map’s RSS feed. I will be announcing some fun “scavenger hunt” style events soon. Leave a comment to tell me what kinds of prizes I should give away!
