Overview of Significant Changes
Advanced preference for handling “saved folders”
Some users reported getting excessive “saved folder” notifications, and this release includes a new advanced preference for fine tuning how Espionage handles this situation. Details are in the new documentation on the advanced preferences.
“Lock Folder” contextual menu revived
It turns out that in switching to launchd, we inadvertently broke the “Lock Folder” contextual menu on 10.6. This situation has now been rectified, and the way we’re doing it now means that new users don’t have to restart their computers after installing Espionage for it to become visible.
Other important bug fixes
The release includes other important bugfixes, including a rare and bizarre issue where iSync would disable itself, and a hang that could be triggered during the autounlock sequence.
In short, it’s an important release, and you can update your copy within Espionage by launching it and choosing “Check For Updates…” from the Espionage menu.
Enjoy! 😀
