This bugfix release contains several fixes for Mac OS X Leopard that are mostly related to Apple’s software update. Also, the crash reporter now works on Leopard, so please continue to use it.
But that’s of course not everything we’ve been working on. For the next preview release of AppFresh, we worked on major improvements to both the interface and AppFresh’s internals. Have a look:
→ AppFresh Development Preview 5 Bugfix Release 5 (Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5)
You’ll notice the three-pane layout, which will fit nicely into Leopard’s overall UI, but which will also mean a usability improvement for our Tiger users. Another important thing is that we’ve removed most modal dialogs and instead chose to go with a status progress indicator at the bottom of the window. Under the hood, we improved multithreading so AppFresh should be faster and also more responsive for you.
New features of the upcoming Preview 6 will include a more advanced grouping of applications, a customizable application categorization, an improved Microsoft update checking mechanism, installing applications from your iusethis.com profile, a new download manager and much more.
