Release Notes

Newest releases are at the top, older ones at the bottom.

Version 0.3.2

Shovel now also transmits a User-Agent when fetching the downloads. Fixed an overlooked bug that could cause inability to install certain downloads.

Version 0.3.1

Shovel now transmits a User-Agent when fetching the MacPAD files. It's "Shovel/0.3.1 (UliKit/101)", where 0.3.1 is the version number of the app and 101 is the SVN revision number of UliKit compiled into Shovel. Fixed a typo in localization support that caused English users to not see most of the MacPAD info.

Version 0.3

Added toolbar to switch between the old Update Apps list and the new Get Apps, which should give you testers some apps to install. The icons were generously donated by my good friend Tyler Vano - thanks buddy! Moved the filter field into the toolbar as well. Various improvements under the hood to make Shovel cope better with applications that have disappeared or that aren't installed yet. The detail view now also shows the icon of an application (and will use the MacPAD file's icon URL as a fallback). The file path display view now shows the actual icons of the files. Also made the menus conform to the HIG more closely by moving some items and adding a "View" menu.

Version 0.2.5

Various stability and GUI improvements like sorting, filter field and hiding of unsupported applications. Re-organization of Shovel "under the hood" and Shovel can now update itself.

Version 0.2.3

Updates the localization support to a more backwards-compatible scheme and auto-disables check boxes for un-updateable entries.

Version 0.2.2

Makes Shovel give better feedback when a MacPAD file couldn't be found or was invalid, and improves support for MacPAD.url files that have the IE-style "Windows Shortcut file" format.

Version 0.2.1

Makes Shovel more tolerant of some of the invalid property lists that are out there these days.

Version 0.2

Now correctly unpacks .zip files on MacOS X 10.3 or better, more correctly copies applications and can also extract files that have been packed several times (like .dmg files inside a .sit archive).
