Developer BigBoss earlier announced on Sleepers that several iPhone homebrew applications got simultaneous updates today. These include Categories 2.04b, BiteSMS v2.3, and MyHTML v1.3.

While each app varies in nature with one another, there's no doubt that their respective updates are a definitely improvement to what they're designed for. Speaking of which here are the changelogs for each of the different homebrew applications:

Categories 2.04b

• Fixed bug introduced in 2.03 where apps added after a folder is made will disappear from springboard but not show up in the folder unless you delete something out of the folder. Note, if you have this issue, after updating just delete an app from a folder and add it again and it should show up.
• Added a whole bunch more icons from Scott Weichert.
• Added a progress spinner when icons load (still needs to be cleaned up but it works).
• Added a button when selecting icons that lets you get back to the main screen without selecting an icon.

BiteSMS v2.3

• Improved performance when biteSMS starts up.
• Matching of SMS numbers against Contacts now includes Country Code/IDD/NDD logic, so matching is much improved.
• Fixed up issues (slow-sending and timeout) with the “Send via Carrier” feature (impacted some 3G iPhones).
• Proxy support (!!!) – now honors proxy settings (e.g. Cydia TZones Proxy Hack for T-Mobile USA).
• Improved (again) the rendering of (new only) conversation bubbles, such that text should no longer be truncated or squashed and always be inside the bubble.
• In the conversation window, the button labeled “Messages” will now also denote the number of unread SMS messages (if any), e.g. “Messages(2)”.
• When displaying date/times, the locale settings are now taken into consideration.
• Keyboard now displayed when doing a search in the ‘All Contacts” search screen (Apple have added a little magnifier widget in this window for searching).

MyHTML v1.3

• Today’s update adds the span tag and a GUI file browser ot o pen a file. You can delete a file straight off the iPhone now without having to use SSH or mobile term or such.

All these apps are available on the BigBoss repository. Just search for the respective update on Cydia and download to your heart's content.
