25 April TapeDeck 1.1.1.

This is a weekend for long-awaited software updates. Not a day after new versions of Cuckoo and LCD Scrub appeared, a bugfix update to our TapeDeck audio recorder is now available for download.

Here’s what’s new in version 1.1.1:

  • Fixed a crash that occurred when playing back corrupt audio files. Now the tape will simply appear to stop playing earlier than expected.
  • Copies .m4a tapes directly into the library, rather than sending them through the QuickTime importer engine
  • Drawing performance improved slightly
  • Set the file’s extension automatically according to the user’s currently selected QuickTime export component.

23 April Updates to LCD Scrub & Cuckoo.

Things have been quiet here recently (as I’ve been busy with my dissertation) but I have a few small bug fixes to share with you:

LCD Scrub version 1.1.1
(download)


Cuckoo version 1.2.5
(download)


Changes in LCD Scrub 1.1.1:

  • Modified several of the patterns to give them a more even track across the screen (bug identified by Neven Mrgan).

Changes in Cuckoo 1.2.5:

  • Fixed a bug causing the CuckooChimeAgent to crash when checking for updates in certain situations (while the network is unavailable or if the cookies database is corrupt).
  • Added support for chimes in Core Audio Format (.caf).
