After giving it much thought, we have decided to create a special version of RSS Menu for the iPhone. It will contain a very small set of features ofcourse, but for the most part it will the same application.
Stay tuned for more news.
Update: this is ofcourse an April Fools joke. However, we are comitted to make software for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
A new update to RSS Menu is now available. This version fixes a bunch of bugs that slipped through previous versions, especially with Atom feeds.
It also fixes a bug that would generate a bunch of cache files.
It is recommended that you update to this version.
RSS Menu 1.11.1 is now available. It fixes a significant amount of bugs and has improved stability.
You should update to this version if you were using 1.11.
Just a quick message for the people that are having problems with RSS Menu 1.11. We are fully aware of the problems it has and are currently beta testing a new version.
Once this version passes, we will release an update asap.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
RSS Menu 1.11 has been released today. It doesn't have any new features (since we are still working on 2.0) but it has a bunch of bug fixes and enhancements.
The reason of this release is simple: RSS Menu 2.0 will require Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). However, since version 1.10.x was quite buggy, we decided to make a new update just to support the people that have not yet switched to Leopard.
On the technical side of things, 1.11 uses the core of 2.0 and so it should feel much more faster than any version of RSS Menu that has gone before it. Therefore, fixing bugs in 1.11 will be much easier than if we had used the 1.10.x core.
So while we work on version 2.0, please update your copy of RSS Menu to 1.11, it's free (but you know we like donations).
First let me get something out of the way. There won't be any further development on RSS Menu 1.10.5.1 and older. We are well aware of the fact that this release has some bugs, like the read articles not being remembered. You can still send us questions about it, but we will not release an update any time soon.
The biggest reason for this is that we have our hands full with RSS Menu 2.0. The core of this application has been upgraded and is much better. It's almost a 50% rewrite from the previous version and allows us to add more features, without having to modify the code base.
I can't tell you yet about the new features in version 2.0, only that it runs and is wicked fast!! One thing I can say is that Keychain support now works as it should.
Other than that, RSS Menu 2.0 looks pretty much the same as 1.10.x, well not entirely the same :)
So after a bit more than a week, RSS Menu is finally starting to take shape. We have fixed several ancient bugs and optimized the application a lot. For instance, back in the 1.x days, the menu itself was updated almost constantly, which is the main reason why RSS Menu would sometimes generate a lot of CPU activity.
On the current internal version, we only update when it's necessary, eg when a new menu item is added (like the "Update all feeds"). The way we process groups is also much better.
Currently we are working on OPML export/import, the RSS Menu Library and making sure the app doesn't crash or hang.
Again, once this process is done, we can start adding the exciting new features.
So keep reading..
After more than a month since the last news post, we decided is was time to let you know what we are up to.
It's probably no surprise, but all of our time is going into the new version of RSS Menu. Not only will version 2.0 have the necessary bug fixes, but it will also have new features, some of them never seen on a Mac application.
It's still too early to mention some of those features, in fact development of those features hasn't yet begun. First we have to make sure the application is fast enough and doesn't contain any bugs.
Keep an eye on this site for the latest developments on RSS Menu 2.0 and our other projects.
It's been very quiet around here. However, we have some good news coming up.
For starters, we'll be doing more than just software development. We are now offering sound and web development aswell.
On the software side of things, we are still developing RSS Menu 2.0 among other projects (both new and old).
And on the lighter side, we'll be doing a whole new project soon and we are waiting for what MacWorld will bring...
As always, stay tuned!
The whole team at e dot studios wishes you the best for 2008. We have a big list of plans for the next year so just stay tuned!
A new version of RSS Menu has been released fixing some bugs left in the previous version. This is the last version of 1.x
From now on, we'll focus exclusively on RSS Menu 2.0, along with some new applications.
Update: For some users RSS Menu was crashing a lot. Version 1.10.5.1 fixes this issue.
Welcome to the new design of the e dot site. A fresh new design that is more user friendly and should be (fingers crossed) more compatible with the iPhone and iPod Touch.
We hope you like the redesign as much as we do. There will be some fine tuning during the following days, so if you wish to send us any feedback we would really appreciate it.
The guys at Widgetop have "ported" our Movie Trailers widget so that it would work on any webbrowser.
In theory, this is our first widget that also works on Windows systems.
We are happy to announce that we have released a new version of iPhoto Mini. The only new addition to this widget is that it's now compatible with iLife '08. It also reads the events album.
You can expect a completly new version of iPhoto Mini soon.
After 4 months of being in full development it was time we released a new version of this popular application. RSS Menu 1.10.4 features a couple of new features (like the support for videocasts) and a few bug fixes (like the retrieval of favicon data).
From now on, we will work on the next evolution of RSS Menu. Keep a close eye to this pages as we add more updates.
RSS Menu 1.10.4 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
We have decided that all the updates for some of our apps will be delayed until we have a copy of Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) available. In that way we can be certain that our apps would work on the new operating system.
So please be a little bit more patient. In the meantime, you are welcome to send us bug reports or feature requests for any of our active products.
After almost a year, we felt it was time to update this popular widget. And what an update...
Supporting a brand new interface, Movie Trailers brings you the latest trailers to your Dashboard.
Popcorn not included.
