June 15th, 2010· Fixed a bug that prevented the Administrator-Free feature of Font Finagler from being able to properly clean the font cache files.
June 1st, 2010· Removed the expiration date: Font Finagler beta 9 does not expire.
· Font Finagler's command-line helper tool, finagler (installed at /usr/local/bin/finagler), now has a publicly available set of commands that System Administrators (or any users comfortable with the command-line) can use to list the font cache files, to clean the font cache files, to register Font Finagler on a Mac, and to manage the "Administrator-Free" mode and types of font caches that are allowed in this mode. For full details on the available commands and syntax, type "/usr/local/bin/finagler --help" or "man finagler" in a Terminal window. (You may want to add "/usr/local/bin/" to your $PATH if it isn't already included).
· Users who are installing or upgrading to this version of Font Finagler by using the drag-and-drop disk image method, or Font Finagler's built-in auto-update feature will need to enable the Administrator-Free feature at least once before the new helper tool will be installed. To do so, launch Font Finagler 1.5 beta 9, choose Preferences… from the application menu, and then switch to the Administrator pane. Simply clicking the authorization lock in the lower left hand corner of the window and entering your name and password should be sufficient to assure that the new finagler helper tool and manpage are installed.
· System Administrators who are upgrading to this version of Font Finagler by using the Installer Package, note that the installer package will take care of installing the new helper tool and manpage itself, in addition to the Font Finagler application.
