##StackApplet 1.6 Alpha for Windows Available Just in time for the API contest, I have created an alpha release of StackApplet 1.6 for Windows (it may run on other operating systems but I only had time to test it on Windows). This version is a complete rewrite of the application in C++ (using the Qt framework). The /inbox route is now used instead of polling a bunch of routes across all of your accounts, resulting in better performance and more notifications.

I haven't had time to upload the package to Launchpad yet, so I am hosting the installer on my website below:

• Windows 32-bit installer
• Windows 64-bit installer (requires the Visual C++ 2010 Runtime)

This is pre-release software, so please let me know if something doesn't work.

##About

StackApplet is a small status icon that sits in your desktop's notification area and alerts you to events that happen to your accounts. You will receive notifications about new answers, comments and reputation changes. All Stack Exchange sites are supported. The application is written in Python and the preferences page uses JavaScript.
