New Mac Software / Updates 2010

[Rameses]

Is this ok for a new thread to state new software and/or updates for programs we use in 2010?

It seems I've had notifications for 3 apps that have come out these past few days.

1) MacPAR DeLuxe 4.0

Release notes

• This version requires Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or better. It does not run on previous versions of the operating system.
• The program uses Snow Leopard techniques (most notably Grand Central Dispatch) to speed up the par process, and to improve the distribution of the work load over multiple processor cores.
• The program now runs fully 64 bit (on a 64-bit Mac); this goes for the user interface as well as the par and rar engines. It comes as a universal binary, so it runs on 32-bit Macs as well.
• Improved ease-of-use by re-organizing the tool bar, adding more descriptive tool tips, and rewriting parts of the documentation.
• Fixed a few technical issues, improving stability and reliability.

2) Unison Version 2.0

Release notes

• Use the "Directory" to search for relevant groups
• Or, use "All Groups" to find your favorites
• Add groups to your sidebar for quick access
• Set group options like auto-loading and offline reading
• Read Messages
• Use the Thread View to read all messages at once
• Thread lines make it easier to see who replied to what
• View and post messages in HTML or Plain Text
  
• Work with Files
• Files are magically grouped together for downloading
• See images, music, files, and messages in one view
• "Smart Downloading" skips unneeded recovery sets
• Much More
• Use the Search Browser to find files and NZBs
• Built-in UnPAR/UnRAR/Join, no external tools needed
• Set up Rules to manage your messages
• Upload binary files in one automated click
• Preview music by streaming it directly off the server

3) AppZapper Version 2.0

Release notes

• We've added a bunch of great new things to AppZapper 2, but it's simpler to use than ever.
• You can use the normal drag and drop interface or use 'Hit List' to help you sort through the clutter.
• The new 'Hit List' feature allows you to quickly browse through every app on your computer.
• Select an app to see its related files and then just hit 'Zap!' to get rid of it instantly.
• Everything has been optimized for Snow Leopard and 64-bit Macs so it's super fast and super simple.

Unison is a newsgroup app, you have to sign up to a service (thundernews.com) to use with it. Then *ahem* a NZB (torrent like file) site of your choice which you use Unison with.
