– When canceling an address search, Waze may crash

– Default log level was set to maximum by default. As a result ~/MyDocs/.waze/postmortem can becoming quite big after several days of use, so you should delete it every once in a while.
– Secure connection is not implemeted yet, so refrain from setting passwords in the application
– This version is compiled in debug mode. So if a crash occurs a core dump might be generated if your phone is properly cofigured (ulimit unlimited). Core dumps are the best way for me to track problems.
– Please assist by reporting issues with emphasis on regressions from v0.0.6
