Enhancements:

- Minor interface changes (controls window and preferences)
- Under-the-hood clean-up
Broadcaster 1.1
Broadcaster will provide support for delegation of event handlers more>>
For instance, a checkboxs action event is fired. You normally are forced to implement the action event of the checkbox with code belonging to your class. This is not necessary, because the CheckboxBroadcaster delegates the action event to an ActionListener your class can implement. Likewise the TimerBroadcaster delegates its action event to an actionlistener, and your class can implement such a listener keeping more code private.
The plugin does not do anything magically; a timer-broadcaster can be developed in pure RB by subclassing a timer and creation of an interface, cluttering your project window with additional classes. All these are tucked away in the plugin, including code maintaining the reference to the handler, which in this example implements the actionlistener interface.
While this is the principal purpose of the plugin, making a class "timer aware", or "thread aware", or "pushbutton aware", etc, you also can register a bunch of listeners with one timer. This bunch can be put into an array of listeners and as such be registered.
You do not need to maintain a list of actionlistener objects for proper disposal, nor do you need to provide circular references. That is because the plugin appropriately will take care of these references "under the hood".
Enhancements:
- Added RBScript support.

Phew 1.0
Phew - Free backup app for Mac more>>
Now we love Apple, and the mac, but we feel that in todays climate of mass media and reducing paper systems, a backup application should be almost standard with every OS. Its true, Apples OSX does have some very good file manipulation software under the hood, but still, its very difficult to access for non-unix savy users.
So that is why weve decided to put a significant amount of work now and the future into "Phew", a decent backup app for Mac thats FREE.
Main features:
- One of very few FREE backup applications available on mac!
- Calculates size of backup folders and gives you a total size that your backups require.
- Ability to have a different destination for every backup item in your backup list. (Store some items on an external hard disk, and some on a server)
- Updates only newer files - saves backup time.
- Simple and easy to use!
- Upgrades in development.

- The Mystery Box can now be turned off

- Insanely many under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes (I should thank David Remahl for many suggestions, and then for invaluable help while I was trying to make the suggestions work =P ).

BitTyrant for Mac OS X 1.1.1
A new, protocol compatible BitTorrent client that is optimized for fast download more>> BitTyrant is a new, protocol compatible BitTorrent client that is optimized for fast download performance. BitTyrant is...
Fast:During evaluation testing on more than 100 real BitTorrent swarms, BitTyrant provided an average 70% download performance increase when compared to the existing Azureus 2.5 implementation, with some downloads finishing more than three times as quickly.
Fair:BitTorrent was designed with incentives in mind: if a user is downloading at 30 KBps, they should upload at 30 KBps. However, due to the unique workload properties of many real-world swarms, this is not always enforced. BitTyrant is designed to make efficient use of your scarce upload bandwidth, rewarding those users whose upload allocations are fair and only allocating excess capacity to other users.
Familiar:BitTyrant is based on modifications to Azureus 2.5, currently the most popular BitTorrent client. All of our changes are under the hood. You find the GUI identical to Azureus, with optional additions to display statistics relevant to BitTyrant operation.<<less
