A new flavor of the Dropbox for Blackberry mobile client was made available for download via the Dropbox forum, with a nice range of fixes included into the mix.

For the time being, the new release, version 1.0.37, is only a forum build, and was released mainly so as to ensure that the aforementioned issues are indeed fixed as they should.

The new application version was made available for download for all Blackberry devices running under BlackBerry OS 4.5 or higher.

Among the fixes included with the new Dropbox for Blackberry forum build 1.0.37, we can count the fact that the application should ask for permissions in advance on first launch.

The changelog for the new release includes:

- saving non-ascii texts results in garbled text - handling of edge cases when running out of space on sd card and in device memory - open-edit-upload usecase wasn't working for devices with encryption enabled - open-edit-upload usecase fails for files with non-ascii filenames - “would you like to allow logging” dialog shouldn't appear on first launch - on rotatable devices, in image gallery, the displayed/cached image is smaller than screen size (shouldn't happen) - music/video stops when screen fades out - user gets a "not enough room to write file" message when trying to open a file that's already open in docs2go.

Among the other improvements, Dropbox notes that the application should now enable support for multiple third-party app associations for a certain file type. Upon the installation of the new release, users should not experience anymore freezes when sharing links.

As stated above, the new Dropbox for Blackberry forum build 1.0.37 was released mainly so as to enable the development team receive feedback on whether the fixes were made properly.

Those BlackBerry users who would like to download the new version of the mobile client should head over to Dropbox' forums here to get the specific flavor fit for their devices.
