I know some users were curious if active development is continuing on Delish. I can assure you that the next major version (1.1) is coming along nicely. I had to divert energy for a 1.0.4 release after delicious.com announced a change to their login process on their blog. The login process doesn’t change for existing users, but new users are required to create a Yahoo account.

The release is available now, download Delish 1.0.4, or click the Delish menu and check for updates.

Apple recently released a Safari 4 Beta, unfortunately it changed the behavior of the WebView component I use to generate screenshots. This resulted in a crash shortly after Delish starts. Read more about the issue on Peter’s blog.

I’ve released 1.0.3.3 to resolve the issue. Since the crasher prevents checking for updates, download the update here:

Delish – Safari 4 Update

After the 1.0.3 releases, I’ve gotten a couple of emails from people who have experienced random crashes. The last couple days I’ve reviewed crash logs, trying to reproduce the problem. Today, I’m releasing 1.0.3.2 which addresses those crashes. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Thanks to Deb and Steven for bringing this to my attention

Just a quick note that I pushed out a new version of Delish. It’s hopefully the last release before 1.1. More on that release soon.

Some bug fixes and small improvements listed in the changelog.

I released a small update (1.0.1) to Delish yesterday. The release fixed some issues with editing smart bundles, but also added something I think will make them more useful: Date expressions. Watch the screencast for more details:

I just uploaded the 1.0 final release of Delish.  New features include Cover Flow, Quick Look, Smart Bundles, and lots of other small improvements and fixes. There is also a way to send feedback directly from the app.

This version does require registration after 14 days usage (can be non-consecutive days).  The price to register is $9.

I just posted the presentation I gave at last months CocoaHeads meeting on Slideshare. The sample code can be downloaded from the CocoaHeads Reston Google Group.

I wanted to let everyone know my plans for Delish. I work on Delish in my spare time. I have a full time job, so that means nights and weekends. The beta has been free thus far, mainly so that I can work out any issues in the screenshot and del.icio.us integration code. My intention is to charge for the 1.0 version.

The current version in beta expires Sunday, June 8 (soon).  I will release one more beta version before then without any limit, and shortly thereafter the (non-free) 1.0 version.

I’ve been diligently working on the final 1.0 version of Delish ever since I first released the beta.  I’ve gotten many feature requests and hope to satisfy a portion of them for the release, including: Quick Look, Cover Flow, Smart Bundles, and improved searching. The next most asked for feature is tag management, which I’m planning for 1.5.

My apologies if I haven’t returned your email, but I have noted any suggestions and will try to work through them all at some point. (more…)

First of all, thanks to everyone who have downloaded Delish!  The feedback has inspired me to improve the product.

Over the weekend I released another update.  The update fixed an issue where links to protocols other the http would cause the screenshot process to hang.

If you are still seeing the screenshot process hang, please let me know. I really want to get the screenshot generation code solid.
