Support in my apps for PowerPC Macs will be dropped as of Feeder 2.2 and Together 2.5, which will be released as the year progresses. Poster only runs on Mac OS X 10.6 and later and is therefore already Intel-only.
The reason, quite simply, is that Apple is transitioning their developer tools and has dropped PowerPC support from the new versions, which will make it impossible to both build apps for PowerPC and take advantage of the new features in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, out later this year.
Personally, while I can understand why Apple is doing this, I think the move is a tad premature. I would rather wait until such a time that I choose to drop support for Mac OS X 10.5, the last version of Mac OS X to run on PowerPC.
The final versions of the apps to run on PowerPC will always be available to download from this site.
After an enchanting journey through US bureaucracy that started with a question in the Mac App Store submission process and ended in the US National Security Agency’s headquarters at Ft. Meade, Together’s encryption feature is now approved for export by the US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, and has been reviewed and approved by Apple for the Mac App Store.
The result is that as of Together 2.4.3, the Mac App Store version now includes the encryption feature and the only difference between that and the regular version available on the Reinvented Software website is the omission of the “Save PDF to Together” feature, a workaround for which is available to download from the Together downloads page.
As this change only affects the Mac App Store version, it will not appear in the direct version’s Software Update, but an identical version of 2.4.2 with a 2.4.3 version number is on the Downloads page too.
Poster 1.1 is available today. Poster is an app for posting photos and videos to the web. The latest version adds support for SmugMug, posting video to Facebook and improvements to people tagging, the iPhone and Aperture plug-ins, publishing and much more.
SmugMug
In addition to Facebook and Flickr, Poster can now post both photos to videos to SmugMug to new or existing galleries, including unlisted and password protected galleries.
SmugMug is a photo sharing site with many great features for all kinds of photographers, including fully customizable themes, HD video, comprehensive privacy options, the ability to create prints and books and even a full commerce system for professional photographers that want to sell their work.
Facebook Video
Poster 1.0 could already post photos to Facebook profiles and Facebook pages (the ones you “Like”), and version 1.1 adds the ability to post videos to your wall too.
Plug-In Improvements
Poster’s plug-ins for iPhoto and Aperture have been improved. Both can now send information such as titles and keywords to Poster when exporting and the iPhoto plug-in gains the ability to choose an export quality for images.
And More!
People tagging has been made easier to use and can now stay in tagging mode when navigating between photos, there’s a new “Only Me” privacy option for Facebook and posting has been made less disruptive with progress and completion indicators displayed in the Dock icon, rather than an alert sheet that demands immediate attention.
Poster 1.1 requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later, is a free upgrade for all Poster 1.0 users, and is available as a 15-day trial that can be unlocked upon purchase. A full license of Poster 1.1 costs $9.95 and is available directly from Reinvented Software and the Mac App Store.
