WoWAceUpdaterI just released a new version, available here. A few people sent me feedback, prompting me to update it more quickly than I expected.

Changes in version 1.1:

  • Added extra feedback during installing and uninstalling indicating progress.
  • Added support for recognizing Ace minor version numbers.
  • Fixed an issue with correctly identifying the currently installed version of some add-ons.

If you play World of Warcraft on a Mac, and use Ace-based add-ons, head on over to my software page. I just released a little program called WoWAceUpdater that manages Ace-based add-ons. It syncs with http://files.wowace.com and compares your installed add-ons and versions with the latest available versions. One click update, install or uninstall, with an elegant Mac OS X interface.

Why did I write this? Primarily because the alternatives either didn’t work, or looked horrible compared to the shiny goodness of Mac OS X.

Oh, and you need to be running Leopard. Apple added so many Leopard-only features to Xcode that they made it virtually impossible for developers to want to support older releases of Mac OS X. Bad for customers, good for shareholders. By the way, if you haven’t yet, go buy Leopard, you won’t be disappointed.
