Three Updates and a Buggy

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 21:27:17 +0200

YelloSoft has been due for some software updates. SmokeScreen, FeedAnimal, and FirefoxCounter have all been updated. They are confirmed working on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 (they break compatibility with 10.4).

The transition from SDK 10.4 to SDK 10.5 created new bugs such as NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest (the trick was setting response and error to nil). Bugs just like this one appear in several YelloSoft programs. We hope to squish these soon.

The Sparkle framework has been added so that each program can automatically update for future versions. YelloSoft is in the process of adding Sparkle to the other dozen Mac programs and looking for a Sparkle Windows equivalent.

Taking the bottom-up approach, we start with the Internet Service Provider. YelloSoft.us is a registered Gandi domain. Price, availability, documentation, and technical support are excellent.
