[ANN] CocoaTADS (HTML TADS interpreter for Mac OS X) version 0.2 released
Charles Srstka
CocoaTADS version 0.2 is up on my web site, at the usual URL:
http://www.charlessoft.com/CocoaTADS.zip
The major improvements in this version are:
- CocoaTADS is now a 64-bit, code-signed universal binary. This probably
won't result in much of a noticeable change when using the application,
but it make CocoaTADS as future-proof as possible, and should prevent it
from getting hypertadsed if Apple decides to drop support for 32-bit or
unsigned binaries at some point.
- Fixed an endian bug that caused a lot of text not to render properly
on PowerPC-based Macs (Note: I had to discover this rather large and
glaring bug myself - it was not reported to me by anyone. Please, if you
find a bug, e-mail me about it so I can fix it!)
- That annoying beachball that used to show up for a few seconds the
first time CocoaTADS played a sound should now be gone.
- Some other fixes to the sound playback system.
- Non-Western text encoding should hopefully work a bit better now.
- A bunch of other miscellaneous bug fixes.
There is also a PayPal link included, in case you were a member of this

and feel guilty about it. ;-)

NOTE: The e-mail address in the "From:" header is a fake, and e-mails
directed there will not get to me. This is because I don't like spam. If
you'd like to send me e-mail, my real address begins with "support",
followed by the symbol that looks like an "a" with a circle around it,
then "charlessoft", then a period, and finally "moc" spelled backwards.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
