Version History

Below is the version history for Hedera.

0.1b2 (2007-11-12)
  • Now only for Mac OS X 10.5, "Leopard."
  • Fixed some interface glitches in the toolbar and main window.
  • The search filter now properly disables itself when nothing is selected in the search list.
  • Removed "Reset" functionality and replaced with a window detailing how to perform the reset manually due to possible restrictions on file access in Mac OS X 10.5 ("Leopard"). The code still remains for the moment, despite being inaccessible.
  • Removed Sparkle updater functionality (for the moment).
  • Included updated giFT data (although not a new version of giFT [yet!]).
  • Made many under-the-hood changes to the code (and many corrections to glaringly-improper programming in the original).
  • Left iTunes integration settings as they are, but made the basic setting of importing into iTunes turned off by default (it's now "opt-in").
0.1b1 (2007-09-05)
  • Initial release as "Hedera" (previous versions called "Poisoned"); note that this is a fork by a third party (me), and that the original Poisoned continues to be maintained (however dormant the project is at the moment of writing) by its creators. That said, improvements follow:
  • Replaced many aging, custom interface elements with modern, built-in ones. Examples include the striping in the table and outline views; the search field; the pane-selection button (which is now a segmented control); and the implementation of new, internal data management code such as array controllers.
  • Replaced the old toolbar icons with cleaner, prettier ones.
  • Gave the toolbar a "unified" appearance.
  • Removed the "brushed metal" interface option.
  • The (optional) iTunes integration no longer causes Poisoned to temporarily become unresponsive when a download completes.
  • The return, enter, and space keys now either start or stop the currently-selected searches in the search list.
  • The delete and forward-delete keys correctly work to delete the currently-selected searches from the search list.
  • Added a "Cancel" button to the giFT update progress panel.
  • Fixed the annoying system beep at the end of each giFT daemon (sub)update.
  • Implemented better internal workings for the re-search and stop-search controls.
  • Changed the icon to that of an ivy leaf.
  • Cleaned up the drawer size- and state-persistence code.
  • Fixed some memory leaks.
  • … and more!
