Menu Changes and Better Support for Intermittent Connections

A new menu has been created to make navigation easier from the top of the page. Clicking the feed name will drop down a menu with entries like those at the bottom of the page. The existing settings menu that is accesses through the wrench icon has been widened.

All of the drop down menus will increase in size for iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone devices to make them more accessible by touch.

The other big change is the addition of a transaction queue. Any action you take, like marking an item read or saving a story, will be saved and if your Internet connection is lost those actions will be retried once a link is clicked after getting connected again. I have found this to be very valuable when using my Android phone since the connections get confused a bit switching between WiFi and HSPA+.

And as usual some miscellaneous bugs have been fixed.
