Version 3.0.22a of screen-scraper available

Posted in Updates at 6:05 pm by Todd Wilson

Thank goodness for alpha versions! That last alpha (3.0.21a) contained somewhat of a nasty bug that would wipe out sub-extractor patterns. Apologies to anyone negatively affected by that (but thanks for helping us test the bleeding edge version!). The upside is that we’ve made a fix for that in version 3.0.22a of screen-scraper. Please give it a try and let us know of any more trouble. As always, be sure to back up your work before upgrading to an alpha version.

On a happier note, version 3.0.22a contains a number of changes that Mac users should love. I recently migrated to a Mac as my primary machine (one of the best decisions I’ve made, by the way), and I’m especially happy about the new changes we’ve made. screen-scraper finally looks, feels and behaves like a Mac app should. This includes menus, look ‘n feel, and keyboard shortcuts. The last little bit we need to take care of is a screen-scraper icon for the dock. Watch for that in a future version.
Speaking of Macs, this is totally unrelated, but I have to share it, only because I’ve been looking for this since I switched. If you haven’t tried it yet, run, do not walk, to binarynights and download ForkLift. This is easily one of the most useful Mac apps I’ve run across.

Well, we’ve been a bit delinquent in announcing new alphas. This most recent one fixes a long-standing, but rarely seen bug where extractor patterns could magically appear where they shouldn’t. There are also quite a few other little niceties and bug fixes since 3.0.14a, when we last announced an update.

For those interested, feel free to upgrade in the usual way. As always, this is alpha code, so please back up your work before upgrading.
