March 3rd, 2011· Addressed an issue that caused some people to get a bad binary of FruitMenu. Very bizarre to debug. Even more bizarre to fix. Involved a shotgun, some fish, and one of those things coopers help make.
March 1st, 2011· Fixed a stupid typo that made the Mac App Store not work when FruitMenu was installed. I hate typo based bugs. First you go through code line by line, then you use a shotgun to see if it goes away. Repeat ad nauseam.
· Added the App Store as a default menu item. You can now also add the App Store item to your Apple Menu or Context menu if you so desire (requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 to use the Mac App Store).
· Made "Mac OS X Software…" actually point to a useful place to find Mac software, http://www.macupdate.com.
· Because this took so long, we are giving everyone a 43% discount on all our software until March 20th, 2011 or until supplies run out, whichever occurs first. How can an intangible object run out of stock? I don't know, ask Microsoft! I'm going to miss Ned. Just use coupon code NEVER-GONNA-BE-ON-MAS when checking out. Final discounted price is shown right before purchase. Do not combine with lower discounts.
· Addressed some other miscellaneous bugs.
· Nine years of FruitMenu!
September 25th, 2010· FruitMenu is very proudly made with Carbon.
· Fixed a crash that would sometimes occur when showing the System Preferences menu if it was in the FruitMenu menu.
· Added even more fuller Japanese translation by Koichi MATSUMOTO. Many thanks to him again.
· Includes APE 2.6.1
September 3rd, 2010· FruitMenu is very proudly made with Carbon.
· Fixed a bug that caused FruitMenu items to not appear in the Finder's context menu on Mac OS X 10.5.8. They now appear in the "More" menu.
· Added more fuller Japanese translation by Koichi MATSUMOTO. Many thanks to him.
July 29th, 2010· FruitMenu is very proudly made with Carbon.
· This is a free update for registered users of previous versions of FruitMenu.
· You probably need to reboot after installing this, irregardless of what the installer says.
· Drops Support for Mac OS X 10.4.x
· Supports Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Mac OS X 10.6.x for PowerPC (ppc7400), Intel's 32-bit architecture (i386), and AMD's 64-bit architecture (x86_64). Does not work in PowerPC 64-bit (ppc64).
· Now loads contextual menu modules (CMM) in Mac OS X 10.6.x's Finder. It works for 32-bit and 64-bit CMMs. However, I know of no 64-bit CMMs (because Cocoa doesn't "support" them) so you'll have to beg someone or something to update their CMMs without making them bust a gut laughing.
· Rewrote a large portion of the code to work on 64-bit machines and in garbage collected environments.
· Accidentally substantially decreased the additional launch time created by FruitMenu.
· Showing a context menu with no context is now off by default.
· Possibly made keys F16-F20 work, at least on 10.6. But that's a string maybe.
· Please make this painful depression stop. I can't take it anymore!
· Dark Menus: This is a new experimental and unsupported feature in FruitMenu . It does what it says. There are many drawing glitches (such as in menu extras) and sometimes the text isn't visible. Off by default. It's just a fun little thing if you like it.
· Dark Menus is for entertainment purposes only.
· Added more fuller Japanese translation by Koichi MATSUMOTO. Many thanks to him.
August 10th, 2009· Restored the ability to run on G3s.
· Includes APE 2.5.2 which also now runs on G3s.
July 12th, 2009· Includes a new installer to work around a bug in Mac OS X involving symlinks.
· Included an updated updater to make the upgrading process more seamless.
· Includes APE 2.5.1
· Miscellaneous bug fixes.
August 28th, 2008· Addressed a problem that caused Recent Folders to not appear on 10.5.
· Added French translation provided by Bernard Rey.
August 18th, 2008· Note: The price of FruitMenu has increased from $10 to $12. (This increase will take effect sometime Tuesday.)
· This is a free upgrade.
· Added support for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard v10.5 and later.
· Dropped support for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. FruitMenu now requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger v10.4.11 or later.
· Removed all references to QuickTime. Now uses the superior ImageIO functionality to work with images. This has an unintended side effect of decreasing FruitMenu's load time at application launch.
· Removed a lot of deprecated APIs and replaced them with modern, non-deprecated versions.
· Removed some calls to the private CPS (CoreProcess Services) APIs when there was a public replacement (many CPS functions still lack a replacement in 10.5.x).
· Changed the gather option to choose a folder name based on the current user's locale settings.
· Added some spin locks and less trans fat.
· Significantly reduced application launch time by only loading preference panes on demand.
· Includes APE 2.5.
· Includes SCR 1.5.
· Plea: If you've bought FruitMenu around four years ago and have never paid for it again (we've not charged for an update of FruitMenu) we kindly ask if you wouldn't mind paying a voluntary upgrade fee. This fee is completely voluntary, is not required, and FruitMenu itself has no knowledge of whether you have volunteered or not. There are no perks to volunteer and we only ask that only registered users volunteer. To volunteer, please go to http://www.unsanity.com/store/add/fruitmenu_vuf.
July 31st, 2008· In removing deprecated API calls, accidently stopped resolving aliases in the FruitMenu Items folder (it'd resolve the alias, then ignore the result). This has been fixed. Sadly, this also means there may be a significant increase in application launch speed if you have a large hotkey prescan setting.
· You can tell the how long the scanning of FruitMenu Items takes by looking in the console (/Application/Utilities/Console) and looking at the line below "CreateMenuItem: FruitMenuItems"
February 26th, 2008· Added support for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard v10.5 and later.
· Dropped support for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. FruitMenu now requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger v10.4.11 or later.
