Pester 1.1 alpha 2 released to testers. Alpha 1 was a very short-lived one, which went to one user who promptly found a serious problem (NSScanner bug) on Mac OS X 10.2.
The good news is I think I've finally fixed all the localized date and time format bugs. The bad news is that it took most of a day's work to do so. I really need to file those bugs.
Apple's new laptop hardware is very impressive. If I hadn't just bought a PowerBook five months ago, I'd certainly get one of these! Radeon 9000, SuperDrive, though still no Bluetooth (and who can blame them, the demand for Bluetooth is still pretty low). With the 5-hour-capable batteries they've got right now, and the MPC7457 processors coming out next year with faster clock rates and significantly reduced power consumption, the coming PowerBook G4s' battery life will be rather nice.
In related news, the paragraph tag fixes for Radio's HTML output appear to have broken paragraph tags in my RSS feed. Ironically, I never read my own site in an aggregator, so I didn't notice until I tried out the new NetNewsWire Lite beta today. I've reported it, and as UserLand is working in this area now, I hope it'll be fixed real soon now.
The recent changes to “Radio” finally fixed the multitude of bugs causing multiple consecutive paragraph tags to be inserted. This would be a good thing, but it caused paragraph spacing to be reduced to the point of illegibility. In the process of fixing the problem, I made some font layout changes, hopefully improving readability. I'm no Web designer, but please let me know (assuming you don't always read in a news aggregator) if you like it.
