Mike Ash: A Tool for Editing Version-Controlled Bundles

A little tool for all of you that have suffered editing Subversion-managed RTFDs, and watching TextEdit blow away the .svn folder time and again.

It's been almost a month since version 3 of our AirPort Express extender Airfoil came out (with Airfoil 3.0.1 right behind it), and you folks are absolutely loving this update! Your praise and support has been incredible, and we appreciate it. After another few weeks of users from around the world pounding on Airfoil and sending us bug reports, we're ready to release Airfoil 3.0.2, a free bug fix update.

Version 3.0.2 includes updates to the Instant Hijack and Soundflower extras, components for pulling audio from already-running applications and all System Audio, respectively. Airfoil Video Player has also received several key updates including improved DVD support for PAL and color-shifted DVDs, as well as better support for subtitled movies. Airfoil 3.0.2 is a free update for all owners of Airfoil 3.

You can learn all about Airfoil on the Airfoil for Mac page then download the free trial. New users can purchase for the low price of $25, while Airfoil 2 users can upgrade for just $10. If your license key begins with TX40-, you automatically receive this upgrade free of charge.

Hopefully, you've already seen Airfoil for Mac 3, our recent major upgrade to Airfoil. If not, you can have a read through the Airfoil 3 tour to see what's new in our AirPort Express extender.

One of the biggest new features in Airfoil 3 is Airfoil Speakers. With Airfoil Speakers, you can turn any Mac (running Mac OS X 10.4 or up) into a virtual AirPort Express. With Airfoil Speakers and Airfoil, you can send audio from one Mac to other Macs, as well as to AirPort Express units.

We've already had a lot of great feedback on it, with users expressing an interest in both Windows and Linux versions, to run on spare machines around the house. We'll see what happens as far as a Linux version goes, but we're nearly done with Airfoil Speakers for Windows. Now, we need you to help us test it out.

If you're interested in testing out the Airfoil Speakers for Windows beta, great! All you need is a Windows machine, and a copy of Airfoil for Windows or Airfoil for Mac. Of course, Airfoil for Mac and Airfoil for Windows can each send to Airfoil Speakers running on Mac or Windows. To test, sign up at through our tester forums. Once you have an set up account there, send an email to us with your full name and username, and we'll add it to the Tester group.

We're excited to announce Audio Hijack Pro 2.8, the latest version of our tool for recording any audio, is now available and fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). With this update, all of our applications are now 100% ready for Leopard, as well as Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).

This update includes Instant Hijack 2, enabling the hijacking of audio from applications which are already running on Leopard, as well as Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). The System Audio Extra has also been updated with Soundflower 1.3, more ID3 tags are supported, and bookmarkable recordings have been made more reliable. As always, there are also myriad minor bug fixes and improvements as well.

Audio Hijack Pro 2.8 is recommended for all Audio Hijack Pro owners, and it's a free update. Head over to the Audio Hijack Pro page to read more and to download Audio Hijack Pro now.
