I've just uploaded beta FOUR of MondoMouse 1.4.4.
This update fixes a weird bug some people encountered with beta 2 in which TextEdit would unexpectedly launch when starting MondoMouse. I won't go into details, it's too weird, but this update fixes it.
For those who were wondering-- beta 3 was only distributed to a few testers, so I haven't (yet) just lost count.

Despite some suggestions to the contrary, MondoMouse has not been abandoned, it's just been very ill for a while and required extensive intensive care to get it up on its feet again.
I'm not kidding, the bugs I've been tracking have been a bitch but there's light at the end of the tunnel. And I don't mean in the sense of "MondoMouse, come toward the light".
As a result I now have an updated beta for 1.4.4. The only changes are general stability and reliability improvements. As with the apparently-ancient previous beta, this is intended for users of Mac OS X 10.6+, but will work on 10.5 as well.

I've just uploaded beta 1 of MondoMouse 1.4.4. This update is intended for people using Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard". It fixes a couple of annoying issues:
Most of what I changed in this update is bringing back some stuff I wrote back in 2006 before MondoMouse 1.0 came out, but that I had to abandon due to bugs in Mac OS X 10.4 (which was current at the time). These bugs have since been fixed, so MondoMouse goes back to the way I had hoped it would work and becomes more reliable to boot.
This update requires 10.5 or higher. It's only needed if you're running 10.6. I may be able to add 10.4 support by the time this gets out of beta, but that'll depend on taking a good hard look at my usage stats to see if anyone's still using MondoMouse on 10.4.
Please note that this is a beta release-- I still have some things on my to-do list for 1.4.4, but I wanted to get something out for 10.6 users as quickly as possible. I use MondoMouse constantly myself, so I know how annoying it's been of late.

Today's release of Mac OS X 10.6, a.k.a. Snow Leopard, has brought many questions from people who want to know-- Does your software work on this new version of Mac OS X?.
The answer is, very simply, "yes". The current versions of all of my software work just fine on Snow Leopard. No updates are needed, so you can keep using the version you have.
Those of you in the USA should pick up the June 2008 issue of MacLife magazine. They've got an article called "The Dawn of iPhone 2.0", covering expectations for what's going to happen once this pre-release iPhone software I've been playing with goes public.
Why, when there's so much information online? Because I'm one of the sources for the article (see page 49), along with Paul Kafasis of Rogue Amoeba and Erica Sadun. That's reason enough, right?
For what it's worth, I did eventually get my iPhone developer certificate, although it still looks like the whole certificate program is pretty screwed up.
