MacTF-EPG 1.2.2
I've been a bit lax in posting to the blog, but there's a new verion of
MacTF-EPG up now. This fixes the problem that most (but not all) users
were having with no data being downloaded by the grabber. Thanks to
v8jlene who managed to find what had changed and updated the grabber.
While I was packaging up the new version I also changed the update
mechanism to the Sparkle framework. This was a bit last-minute, but looks
to be a really nifty way to update your app. It allows me to post a
webpage for each upgrade and if you need updating you'll see what's new in
a window, with the option to download it. Sparkle then seems to quit the
app and restart with the new version. It also has some "always install new
updates" features but these are very beta, so please don't enable them (I
tried disabling them but haven't worked out how yet).
The best thing in my mind is that if there is an issue like last time
where there is a data source problem, I can simply set up a fake "update"
and users will be able to see a message explaining what the problem is.
Then when I actally get the problem solved, I just add the download and
everyone can get it. So I recommend letting the app check for updates
(I'll make this a pref soon, now it just asks once).
