MacTF-EPG 0.7
A new version of MacTF-EPG (0.7) is available. This version beefs up the keyword functionality by adding exact matches, auto recording and variable paddings. These functions are only really useful in regard to people who use the epg_uploader TAP.

More generally, a "Check for update..." function has been added and a there has been a reworking of how and when TGD files are loaded and saved. This means that now on startup all the TGD files are loaded into memory, sorted and then written out. They are also written out on quit and after a few other actions. What this means is that if you Force Quit the app it may not have had a chance to write out yet. And startup time is a bit slower, although it runs on a seperate thread so hopefully it won't be a problem. If you switch to the keyword pane too quick you can catch it doing it's stuff, but just give it a sec to finish up.

This change was made to fix up some bugs where the list of entries got out of sync with what was actually on disk, and also to simplify (and speed up) the selection of TGD files on the left pane. However, because the new left-pane code uses predicate searching to work, it means that there's not all that much chance of getting it running on <10.4. So sorry to any people still on 10.3 but v0.5.3 will be your last version (although I could mod v0.6 to work if needed).
