PackRat 0.92

I've just released version 0.92. This one fixes some annoying bugs
that have been found and I felt it was important to get some fixes
out to them as soon as possible. So, no, automatic syncing isn't in
this one. However, I have made some work on it and it should be in
the next one. I have added one feature though, and that is automatic
update checking. PackRat will now check for a new version at startup
and tell you about it if there is one.

As for bug fixes, if you've had problem with PackRat crashing when
you try to copy or paste then you should get this version. I also
fixed a few bugs with syncing after reordering a list. A bug fix that
I'm happy to release and that has been bothering some of you for
quite some time is now here. If you've had problems with typing in
your username and API key in the preferences window and it not saving
and not syncing then you need this fix.

Download it and give it a try.

PackRat and Modems

I'd like to know if any PackRat users are using plain old dial up with a modem to sync their data. If so, drop me a line. One user has said that PackRat hangs when he does this but works fine on a high speed connection. I don't have access to a modem at this point but did try it with a bluetooth modem and it worked fine. So, if you're having success the "old fashioned way", please let me know. Or if you're having problems with that, let me know too. Thanks.

PackRat: Now with List Reordering

I just released PackRat v0.91. It adds a feature that a lot of you have been asking for: List reording.

When you want to reorder your lists just press cmd-R or select Reorder Lists from the Action button or the Edit menu.

PackRat 0.901 and On

I made a small release last night that fixed a few bugs. The main change is that now SSL is tried first when syncing. This was to provide extra security because Backpack would let some requests go through without SSL even when SSL was turned on.

The next release will feature something many users have been waiting for: List reordering. I'm currently testing it and putting on the finishing touches. If you'd like to beta test it, then just let me know.

Next on the list is automatic syncing. Manual syncing is bugging me and I'm sure it's bugging you. If you have any ideas about auto syncing or things you'd like to see, then please send me an email.
