Optionally enabled full-scene OpenGL antialiasing. Set the resource *multiSample to true if doing so doesn't kill performance with your video hardware.
New version of glhanoi.
Image-loading hacks that display the file name now also display the sub-directory (xscreensaver-getimage now returns relative paths under imageDirectory).
Passwords that contain UTF-8 non-Latin1 chars are now typeable.
Numerous minor stability fixes.
Note that version 0.647 is an alpha, not even a beta. I really wish MacUpdate would indicate this here and with other updates consistently. The last stable version is 0.6316. You are probably better off using BTT's autoupdate, which has an "Update to alpha versions too" checkbox and a message: "As always, update at your own risk".
Installed normally with Microsoft Autoupdate yesterday, 10/9/10. Wasn't visible earlier in the day, but got it by evening. So far all Office 2011 applications are running fine with the update. I for one am happy Microsoft released a patch promptly.
I am not making editorial comments on Microsoft as a company. Don't like this, use NeoOffice, which I find superior to OpenOffice, or try Lotus Symphony. Good luck with the email programs those don't include, nevermind an Exchange mail server compatible one.
For the record, I use Thunderbird at home, and have tried hooking Apple Mail into an Exchange Server in a corporate environment and gave up in favor of Entourage. Outlook 2011 should mature into a full replacement for Entourage 2008, give it a little time.
I was hesitant to download this as it's based on a modified Quake 1 engine and I find even Quake 3's graphics clunky and dated. I'm also more of an Unreal Tournament fan. But holy flurking schnidt, this is one HIGHLY modified Quake engine, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexuiz for info.
I find the unrelenting fast-paced gameplay reminiscent of the original Unreal Tournament or even UT2004, with better graphics than OpenArena/Quake 3, really nice music and sound effects (weapons and announcers), and lots of levels and add-ons.
This one gives Sauerbraten a run for its (lack of) money at least in terms of fun traditional FPS gameplay. And it runs WAY faster, though the less advanced engine than SB or, say, UT2004/UT3 means less eye candy. You won't miss it.
Five stars, since it's free and open-source. If it were paid, I might give only four.
I used to think this was the bees' knees for 7zip compressing and decompressing, but then I discovered The Unarchiver and Keka. Those two are both also freeware and handle 7zip files well. They're also under current development instead of being frozen two years ago.
Yes, it does download torrents, at a good speed and reliably. I really like it- on Windows. On a Mac, it's just too ugly and basic, rather than elegantly minimal like Transmission or seriously power-tweakable and loaded like Vuze.
No Transmission on PCs (though it sure has been ported to every other platform), no (good) µtorrent on Macs allowed, apparently. Try qBitTorrent, it's a better clone of PC uTorrent. You can look it up here, but MacUpdate links to an obsolete version. The latest version download is at http://qbittorrent.sourceforge.net/download.php
If you are having trouble with version 2.06 being crashy, try the nightly builds of 2.10 at http://rssowl.pluginbuilder.org/latest/
Note: I don't recommend the use of nightlies (i.e. Alpha) software unless you HAVE to. Sure wish 2.10 would hit Beta soon though. I keep upgrading the nightlies: some fix bugs, some crash on launch.
I just upgraded from 10.5.8 Leopard to 10.6.2 Snow Leopard. FrostWire 4.18.6 crashes with some sort of Java error on 10.5.8 but runs on 10.6.2 fine. Obviously, these folks aren't testing their software on 10.5 Leopard systems any more.
