Feb 13, 2012 | Cashculator
We’ve just released Cashculator version 1.3.0.
While there are almost no new features in it and a handful of bug fixes, this release is a “point release”, because it drops the support for PowerPC-based Macs and for Mac OS X 10.5, also known as Leopard. Leopard is now 2 versions behind latest Mac OS X and we see minimal use of Cashculator on PPC-based Macs. We also have no way to test again 10.5 and were hit by this in one of our latest updates.
If you need to download the last version of Cashculator that worked on PPC or Leopard, download: Cashculator for 10.5 and PPC.
Full release notes for Cashculator 1.3.10:
- Database integrity fixes
- Fix for French localization
- Arrow keys now work when editing income/expenses table cells to move inside the cell’s text instead of jumping to another cell
- Editing mode for a cell can now be activated by double-clicking on the cell, in addition to pressing the Enter key.
- Better management of Cashculator database backups.
- The income/expense and reconcile tables are now non-elastic when scrolling in Lion. Elastic scrolling didn’t look good.
- Better error handling in several cases
Dec 15, 2011 | Blast, Cashculator

Blast 1.7.5 also brings some important bug and usability fixes:

Socialite 1.3.9 is now available both on the Mac App Store (which skipped version 1.3.8) and for our direct customers. The release notes for 1.3.9 are short but important:
- Fix Facebook image uploading.
- Fix Growl 1.3 support for some customers who were unable to activate the notifications.
- Fix double Growl notification which appeared in some cases.
So, as usual, either check for updates from within Socialite or fire up App Store, if your copy is from there.
Oct 6, 2011 | Socialite
Socialite 1.3.8 brings compatibility with Growl 1.3 (available from the Mac App Store only).
It also fixes an issue that some customers had which manifested itself like Google Reader and possibly other accounts weren’t saved between launches.
Last, it increases the number of unread articles that Socialite will fetch for each Google Reader feed from 100 to 1000. This is needed if your feeds generate more than 100 new articles between the times that you check the feeds.
Socialite 1.3.8 was also submitted today to the Mac App Store but as always, there’s no way to know when it’ll be released.
P.S. RIP Steve Jobs, your life is an inspiration to generations of entrepreneurs.

MOST IMPORTANT: This release is required for all Facebook users as it supports the newer OAuth2 authentication, while the older one is being deprecated from Oct 1.
NOTE: You’ll be prompted to login into your Facebook accounts again. This will be required to do only once, for the new Socialite authentication information to be stored. Socialite doesn’t store your Facebook email or password anywhere.
Full release notes:
- Facebook authentication converted to OAuth2. Older version of Socialite probably won’t work with Facebook from Oct 1.
- Facebook authentication now improved, in that it now correctly handles authorization of multiple Facebook accounts from within Socialite, without the need to log out of Facebook in Safari, when adding a second account.
- REPLY ALL: In Twitter, the “Reply” function now serves as combined “Reply All”. If other users’ accounts are mentioned in the tweet you reply to, they’ll be added to the reply and selected. You can then press right arrow to deselect the text and reply to all of them or start typing your text if you only wanted to answer to the author of the tweet.
- Fixed some bugs with detection of URLs in tweets and status updates. Including quotes of various types and other common characters.
- Improved the behaviour of the splitter used for quick-input and preview pane.
- Possible workaround of a common crash case
Version 1.3.7 was also submitted today to the Mac App Store but it’s still not available there.
Check App Store daily to get the update when Apple approves it.
Aug 3, 2011 | Cashculator
Today (Aug 3rd) we released to the Mac App Store version 1.2.8 Cashculator Free. Only the free version was updated and it includes the following important changes:
- It is Lion-only. It won’t run on Snow Leopard.
- It can now be unlocked through In-App purchase to have all the features of the regular Cashculator version. This means unlimited planning into the future and unlimited number of “what-if” scenarios.
- Cashculator is now working inside the sandbox, which is an important new security feature in Lion. This brings increased protection from possible hackers if they break Cashculator to do their bidding. For example, Cashculator now won’t be able to access files on your file system, except the files it needs for work or your CSV exports.
- Important: Because Cashculator works in the sandbox now, it also means that the database is moved to the application’s container, which is a special folder in the user’s Library folder (which is by default hidden in Lion).
In non-sandbox Cashculator, the database was at [user home]/Library/Application Support/cashculator/
folder, and now it is in [user home]/Library/Containers/com.apparentsoft.cashculatorfree/Data/Library/Application Support/cashculator/. Yes, much deeper in the folder hierarchy.
- One of the features that was hit by sandboxing was the ability to have Cashculator’s database in any location in the file system and not only inside the Application Support. This is now not possible (remember the container?) so if you had your database in a custom folder, you should copy it inside the container folder above. If you didn’t move your database manually, you don’t need to do anything. All files will be moved inside the container automatically.
To celebrate this event we temporarily set the price of the in-app purchase at 33% discount of the regular price.
Note, only the Free edition of Cashculator requires OS X Lion. The regular version of Cashculator on the Mac App Store works on 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and the version available directly on our site is a Universal binary running on PPC or Intel on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
Aug 2, 2011 | Blast
