Yasu 2.5.7 Released

07/10/2008 • Yasu

A new version of Yasu is finally released. Yay! This version addresses the following…

• changed “done” sound to aiff from wav since it was freaking out some machines
• made done sound toggleable via “defaults write” (see below)
• changed doNSTask() routines to doShellScript() (see previous post for what this means)
• fixed French localization (missing/incorrect strings)
• added additional DARWIN cache paths
• fixed archived log removal paths where OS applicable
• changed references of “jimmitchell.org” to “jim mitchell design” in help (identity move in progress)
• added routine to change name of “com.jmo.yasu.plist” to “com.jimmitchelldesign.yasu.plist”
• changed links in software of “jimmitchell.org” to “jimmitchelldesign.com”
• added Sparkle.framework for better update checking
• removed home baked “curl” based application update checking
• disabled user preferences related to disabled curl based update checks

A couple of things to note…

First, I’ve turned off the “done” ping by default. More people disliked it than did. However, there is a way to turn it on if you’re one of the minority. Simply open a terminal session after making sure Yasu is not running, and type the following at the prompt to turn the sound on or off respectively…

defaults write com.jimmitchelldesign.yasu PlaySound -int 1
defaults write com.jimmitchelldesign.yasu PlaySound -int 0

Second is that I’ve added the Sparkle application update engine to Yasu for a better user experience, and to make updates far easier. That means the first time you launch this new version, it’s going to ask if you want to enable version checking — EVEN IF you had it enabled in prior versions. It’s just a minor inconvenience…

So there you have it. Head on over to the Yasu page to get yours today.
