January 23rd, 2011· Improved Proximity Lock to further prevent false lockouts
NEW FEATURE: (WARNING: HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL) Application Preferences of ANY traditional application. Essentially, this saves the entire preference file for any application and re-writes it on snapshot execution. Such file operations always have a small risk of data loss. Use at your own risk.Some Notes on App Preferences:
· The more apps you select, the more AL will slow down and the more memory it will take.
· After you list your apps in the Snapshot menu, you must hit “Update Snapshot” to save the actual settings. Two step process.
· I would not recommend this with any application that has a large set of preferences (i.e. iTunes)
· This only works for apps who store their prefs in the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder. AL will filter out/ignore apps that it cannot modify.
· Other small bugfixes.
January 17th, 2011· NEW FEATURE: Bluetooth Proximity Lock – select a bluetooth device to monitor (I use my iPhone) and when that device is out of range, computer locks. Device must have been paired with computer at least once, but does not have to be connected to work.

August 24th, 2010· Sometimes there was a double-scan when waking the computer in locations where it took more than a few seconds to connect to the internet via wireless.

· Updated all localizations to include the new feature: "Sharing"
· Updated the name to AirPort Location (notice the Apple-friendly camel case of AirPort) to maintain the name but still make it more clear
August 21st, 2010· The most requested feature is here: Sharing Preferences!!! (without a need to enter the admin password!) In order to avoid having the user input their password, I had to use GUI scripting for System Preferences. Thus, in order to use the "Sharing" feature, you'll have to enable "Universal Access for assistive devices"
