Download Link Fixed

March 13, 2009

Downloading IMLocation hasn’t been working for several weeks(!!).
I have been using a semi-automated process to package IMLocation up on a .dmg and release it. The scripts had been working unchanged for about a year, but after I made some changes to the IMLocation Xcode project, they didn’t work correctly anymore. Everything appeared to [...]

Version 0.37

March 3, 2009

Version 0.37 (beta) is out! Download the latest version.
Changes in Version 0.37
* Removed the status tab. I just can’t see people updating their status through IMLocation, instead of an actual Twitter/AIM/whatever program.
* Added the Set Default Printer action.
* IMLocation should start up faster, because the way the location database is read has been [...]

Version 0.36

January 20, 2009

Version 0.36 (beta) is out! Download the latest version.
Changes in Version 0.36
* Added the “Set iChat Status” action.
* Added the Set Screen Saver Security action.

Version 0.35

Version 0.35 (beta) is out! Download the latest version.
Changes in Version 0.35

Version 0.34

January 4, 2009

Version 0.34 (beta) is out! Download the latest version.
Changes in Version 0.34
* Built all projects so that Mac OS X 10.5 is required (oops! On the bright side, nobody called me on it, which makes me feel better about requiring Leopard).
* Double-clicking on a location-name to change it should be more responsive
* Fixed [...]

Version 0.33

December 31, 2008

Version 0.33 (beta) is out! Download the latest version here.
This update fixes a bug in the “Mute Internal Speakers” Automator action.
It also includes fixes from Version 0.32, which I had not officially announced, pending more feedback from testing.
Version 0.32 restored Adium integration, and included some minor UI tweaks.
As always, updating is very strongly encouraged [...]

Adium Support is Broken

December 24, 2008

Regretfully, integration with Adium isn’t working right now.
I apologize for releasing without adequate testing.
I did not change any of the Adium-related code from version 2.9 and I foolishly assumed it all still worked because nobody had complained. But in the 13 months since I had last tested my Adium plugin, Adium was updated in [...]

Leopard Only

December 22, 2008

I owe you an explanation of why version 0.30+ of IMLocation now requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Originally IMLocation ran on both Leopard and Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, so why the change?
As I write this, the Omni Group’s data shows 54.7% of people still using Tiger. The number is decreasing, but [...]

Version 0.31

December 16, 2008

Version 0.31 (beta) is out! Download the latest version here.
This update fixes a bug that kept IMLocation from asking for the name of a location it did not know.
It also fixes an embarrassing spelling error in an “are you sure?” dialog, which to be honest is something of an embarrassment itself since the best [...]
