→ AppFresh Development Preview 6 (Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 only)
We are very happy to finally announce the new Development Preview 6 release of AppFresh. It comes with a new three-pane user interface that we think is much cleaner and more flexible than the old two-pane layout. The three-pane layout gives the room for new and customizable categories in the left pane. You can now even create your own categories and add applications using drag&drop.
Besides a nearly complete rewrite of the AppFresh core components we added some new features that were requested throughout the last months. We are glad to now support Microsoft AutoUpdate in addition to Apple Softwareupdate, Sparkle and osx.iusethis.com. AppFresh now checks the Microsoft AutoUpdate sources directly without depending on iusethis. Update checking Microsoft applications should therefore become more accurate and stable. If you experience any problems or if you are a Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac user, please contact us in case of problems. Support for native Adobe update checking is being tested, but will likely not be available before the 1.0 release.
Complete list of changes:
General rewrite of AppFresh core components
Major speed improvements on scanning applications
New three-pane user interface without progress sheets
Added new default categories. Use drag&drop to create a new customizable category
Added support for Microsoft AutoUpdate
Added a default group for Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac (not MSO 2008!)
Added support for checking AddressBook plugins
Added iusethis fallback checking for broken Sparkle appcasts
Added new update states for network errors and iusethis fallback checks
The iusethis description of applications can be shown in the inspector
Fixed a crash reporter bug
Fixed a bug when AppFresh would not finish update checking
Fixed some Leopard compatibility issues
Removed iusethis autosearch
Improved adding and removing applications from iusethis profile
Note: The underlying data model of AppFresh has changed significantly from previous versions. If you updated from an older version and experience any problems, please try cleaning the ~/Library/Application Support/AppFresh folder and restart AppFresh.
