Once again I’m planning on attending NSConference 2011, which is happening in March this year.

It’s a great conference, and I’d highly recommend it if you are a Mac OS X or iOS developer.

You can find out more information here.

Elegant Chaos would like to wish you all a fantastic Christmas.

Unless, of course, you don’t celebrate Christmas, in which case have a fantastic not-Christmas.

Unless of course, you recognise Christmas, but simply don’t celebrate it, because that misses the point, in which case, have an appropriately sober Christmas… look, just have a good few days why don’t you, for some appropriate value of good!

Oh, and we do hope that you have a great New Year and a brilliant 2011.

Unless of course you don’t follow the Julian calendar, in which case…

I’m pleased to announce the release of Neu 1.0.2.

This update contains a number of small changes:

  • Neu now handles the .neulicense file type. Double-clicking on a license file will automatically launch Neu and register the license.
  • Neu now respects symbolic links in the path to the Templates folder, and for individual templates.
  • Added Quit button to “Presence” preference when in “Stealth” mode, since the normal Quit menu item is unavailable.
  • Added tooltips to the preferences panels. Added application name to preference window title.
  • Window changes: added fades, increased the default size, made resizable,changed the buttons to a white-text-on-black-background style to match the windows.
  • Updated sparkle and release notes URLs.
  • Fixed old reference to Replicator in the Updating preferences panel.
  • Updated the in-application Help to reflect the current state of the website.
  • Changed the default Pages template to an iWork ‘08 version, and added a Numbers template (note that this will not affect you unless you throw away your existing templates folder, since these default templates are only used when Neu can’t find a templates folder).
  • Fixed a bug in the build process which was bloating the size of the application.

I’ve added a page to the Elegant Chaos website which lists the latest available beta versions of our software.

I’d like to avoid having people accidentally download betas without realising that they are getting untested software, so the main product pages will always link to the latest release version.

Which is why, if you’re the adventurous sort, you may want to keep an eye on the beta versions page.
