A Little Drop of Cocoa

Apologies to anyone who downloaded the 1.8.1 DMG file which was badly broken. A new version has been uploaded and should work as expected. Internal application updates were not affected by the DMG packaging bug.

This release updates the Greek localisation and has a couple of minor bug fixes. If anyone sees hangs when updating the port database let me know, I would be interested to know if it goes away after a selfupdate as well.

You can get Porticus 1.8.1 here.

I have started adding a little help to the web site, thanks to Jim Busser for providing the basis for this.

This release some new features and improves support for MacPorts 1.8.

• Improve MacPorts 1.8 support (update and uninstall options)
• Added menu option to uninstall all inactive ports.
• Added more options to clean command.
• Cmd-Opt-F now moves directly to the search/filter field.

You can get Porticus 1.8 here.

I hope to get some documentation up on the website soon so stay tuned.

This is a minor bugfix release.

• Fixed a bug handling command specific flags.

You can get Porticus 1.7.1 here.

After rather longer than intended there is a new release of Porticus available. Real life has been intruding unfortunately. This release contains a few bugfixes and initial support for MacPorts 1.8.

• Added Russian localisation.
• Disable Update All option if nothing is outdated..
• Initial support for MacPorts 1.8 (force upgrade uses –force and –enforce-variants).

I hope to improve MacPorts 1.8 and add a few new features over the next few months.

You can get Porticus 1.7here.

A new version of Porticus is now available, this is a bugfix release. It fixes a bug when uninstalling multiple ports where the installed ports have variants selected. The uninstall should now operate correctly.

I am currently looking at adding variant description details and non-root mode support for the next version.

You can get Porticus 1.6.3 here.

A new version of Porticus is now available, this is a bugfix release. It fixes bug with displaying the port list on MacOS X 10.4 systems. Apologies for the problems with the latest updates for Tiger users. I hope all is now stable on both Tiger and Leopard.

You can get Porticus 1.6.2 here.

A new version of Porticus is now available, this is a bugfix release. It fixes a crashing bug when performing a port update on MacOS X 10.4 systems. Another reason to avoid NSTreeController on Tiger.

A new version of Porticus is now available, this update adds the following:

• The port details view now highlights ports which are required but not installed.
• Porticus now tries to maintain selection after port operations.

You can get Porticus 1.6 here.

I just wanted to give a shout out to Scotty at the Mac Developer Network and all those involved in NSConference. It is a bit far for me to travel from New Zealand but developers in the UK and Europe should really try to get along. It looks like a great event.
