Thumbscrew 1.0b8
Apologies, all around. Some of the people who downloaded either of the last two betas were newcomers, some were upgrading. I’m sure all got left with a bad taste in the mouth. Not something I’d like to be remembered for.
I had been testing new releases against the preferences I use on a day to day basis, and didn’t design some of the new features to be clever enough to handle the first-time user.
This release should work with existing preferences and new preferences on Tiger and Panther (I’ve run through various scenarios on my PowerBook and iMac with new and old prefs). I’m looking at PreFab Software’s UI Browser software as a functional testing tool. With a little work, I think it has great potential for helping me avoid this kind of embarrassing situation in the future.
I suspect once I get this to a relatively stable point (hopefully this is it), I’ll probably make far less frequent public releases. I’ll keep updating the mailing list, though, and try to have a bit more constrained development flux.
