We have launched a campaign to help victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Lunascape will donate 50 yen (64 ¢ USD) per every downloads of iLunascape products during one month, starting from March 17th, 2011 (PST). Also, we’ll be setting up a Paypal for our Lunascape desktop users and existing iLunascape users to join the campaign.

The number of aftershock associated with the M9.0 earthquake is recorded over 220 times since March 11th, which is the highest record in Japan. The tsunami that engulfed many houses and buildings has left them more than 20,000 missing people. The aftershock affects not only direct victims of the tragedy, but also people live outside of the affected area. There are growing concerns towards nuclear plants’ damages and continued aftershocks. People are having planned black outs for energy reservation purposes, not being able to have electricity, gas or water for couple of hours every day.

All we can do now is to hope for the best, to raise awareness of the catastrophe in Japan and to donate what we can. Lunascape also donates 1 million yen ($12,804.10 USD) on top of the amount we’d raise from this campaign.

2011 is the year of rabbit according to the Chinese zodiac and/or the Japanese Eto. The year of rabbit means that it’s going to be a slow-paced, quiet and peaceful, yet inspiring, positive and energetic year. Many of you may have new year’s resolutions, and I’ve asked users what should be our (Lunascape’s) resolution for this year. The answers are to make the Lunascape faster and to allow bookmarks import/export in an html file format. Ah, it sounds so basic and must-have features for the Web browsers that we must carry out! Well, this is a bit detailed resolutions, but I think this year Lunascape should focus more on its inner growth. We may not look dramatically changed or different from outside, but inside, we should mature the features we have, improving its usability/looks & feels and eliminating as many open bugs as possible to prepare for much more high-paced, aggressive year of Tiger in 2012.

To start our new year, we’ve released an updates for the iLunascape Lite for iPhone. It’s version 1.1.1 released yesterday on 2011/01/11 (JST). Now, you can open links in new background tabs and open bookmarks in new tabs! This version also fixed the occasional crash issue when zooming in/out Web sites in the browser, providing better user experience.

We hope you’ll enjoy this new features of iLunascape and wish you a much-loved and prosperity year of 2011.
