I’m happy to announce that Neu version 1.0.4 is now available, both from this website and the Mac App store.

Version 1.0.4 is a bug-fix release, identical to 1.0.3 with the exception that the preferences should now work correctly on the Mac App store version!

To find out more, or give Neu a spin, please see the main Neu homepage.

I’ve submitted Neu 1.0.4 to Apple for review.

The only difference between it and 1.0.3 is that it fixes the bug with the Mac App store version of Neu that prevented some of the preferences panels from showing.

I’ve also made it immediately available here, for non Mac App store users. It really is no different from 1.0.3 for them though.

Hi all,

I’m sorry to announce that we’ve spotted a slight problem with the Mac App store version of Neu 1.0.3 - only two of the preference panels load successfully.

This problem doesn’t affect the version of Neu that you download from here, so if you’ve bought Neu directly from us, you can safely update.

However, if you’ve bought from the Mac App store, we’d ask you to hold of updating until we can work out what’s going on and submit a fix.

If it’s too late and you’ve already updated, Neu should continue to work ok, you simply won’t be able to adjust certain preferences. Which is obviously not ideal, so we’ll get a fix out to you as soon as we possibly can.

I’m happy to announce that Neu version 1.0.3 is now available, both from this website and the Mac App store.

Version 1.0.3 is a bug-fix release, containing the following minor improvements:

• Remove/add buttons update state correctly in templates and keywords preferences
• Fixed window resizing
• Improved communication with the Finder to work out what folder the user wants to create items in.
• Improved text of “Add License…” menu item and file dialog (This change does not apply to the Mac App store version of Neu, which does not have an “Add License…” menu item).

To find out more, or give Neu a spin, please see the main Neu homepage.

Things have been a little quiet around here lately, as we’ve been tied up with quite a bit of contracting work.

However, we’re happy to say that some updates to our own applications are also on the way. Both Neu 1.0.3 and Ambientweet 1.0 have now been submitted to Apple for release to the Mac App store.

Beta releases of both of these can also be found on our Beta Software page.

With Ambientweet, we needed to decide on a pricing policy as part of the submission.

Eventually Ambientweet will be sufficiently feature-rich to justify charging for it, but for now it is quite simple, so we’ve decided to make it the initial version free on the Mac App store! If you download it there when it becomes available, you should be able to get subsequent 1.x updates free as well.

When we change over to charging for it, we’ll probably create a new “Pro” version of the application which you have to buy. At that point we may well also introduce some sort of “Lite” version which contains advertising.
