What's new

Since 0.4.2:

• Fixed a bug with the load sheet not closing properly.
• You can now drag whole directories onto the group list or file list to add the files in them to Liaison.
• Drag-and-Drop of promised files works.
• The table view no longer scrolls to the top of the list after you remove files.
• You can drag files from Liaison to the finder now.
• The shared inspector now updates when you make other windows key.
• No longer cache icon information. This slows everything down a tiny bit, but saves a huge amount of memory.
• The icon that signifies an unlocatable file now updates automatically.

Since 0.4.1:

• Added help.
• Project split up for future open source plans.
• A lot of old code culled.
• You can unsort your file list by clicking on the header.
• Editing files now works consistently with the sort and search.
• Fixed many bugs where the file selection would change unexpectedly.
• Fixed bugs with groups being assigned incorrectly.
• Added contextual menus to the file and group panels.
• Fixed dimming of menus and toolbars with two exceptions: the "Open" and "Show in Finder" menu items don't work properly when the group list is the first responder.

Since 0.4:

• Many GUI fixes and enhancements.
• Major speed improvements for loading large amounts of files at a time.

Since 0.3.3a:

• The file database has been ripped to shreds and rewritten from scratch. The new one is much more extensible and faster overall.
• Application is now prebound for faster launch times.
• Network code has been rewritten to take advantage of the new file database, and is much more connection friendly now for persistant connections.
• Loading files into your library should be substantially faster. However, you cannot load more than about one thousand at a time.
• File selection is saved as you navigate through groups, if possible.
• The zoom box works properly (or mostly properly) everywhere.
• Preliminary AppleScript support has been added. It's not very useful, but it's there.
• You are no longer able to group remote file stores within an over-all "Rendezvous" group.
• Some minor fixes for Panther.
• BUG: The "Add Files to Library" menu item doesn't get properly dimmed.

What's new since 0.3.2a:

• Application starts again.

Since 0.3.1a:

• Fix date sorts.
• Make string searches case insensitive.
• Add a plugin architecture for the file browser and inspector.
• Add a Find panel stub so I can work out the interface.
• You can set the file's icon in the inspector now - simply drag an image file (not a .icns file!) onto the file's icon in the file inspector.
• You can copy a file's icon by dragging it from the icon in the file inspector to a folder. Note: files are saved as TIFF documents, with one layer per icon size (so layer 1 is 128x128, layer 2 is 32x32, layer 3 is 16,16) -- Thanx Cocoa!
• If a file change can't happen, a sheet is displayed.

Since 0.3a:

• You can set or delete HFS file creator codes via the inspector.
• Add columns for last modified time, creation time, and file size.
• Column sizes and order in the file list are remembered now.
• Added a "view options" dialog box, under the view menu. You can use this to set which columns are displayed.
• The delete key and the "Delete" item under the "Edit" menu work now.
• If you have an editable group selected, adding files will also add them to the current group. Otherwise the files are just dumped in the library.
• Fix network code. I don't know how long it's been broken, but it works again as well as it did the last time I checked, perhaps better.
• Display scroll bars when the group list is longer than the view.
• When reloading a file in the download panel, don't create a new status view, just re-use the old one.
• If the hostname changes you can still download files properly.

Since 0.2.1a:

• Use aliases instead of paths as the database key. Files can now be renamed without being lost to Liaison.
  WARNING: This means you have to delete your old library. You can accomplish this by deleting the files in ~/Library/Liaison/. You must do this for Liaison to function properly. Hopefully this shouldn't happen again.
• Initialize the local group name if there's no existing library.
• Add a little "!" icon for files that can't be located.
• Edits in the file table and the inspector are now written to disk.

Since 0.2a:

• Editing a group doesn't clear the icon anymore.
• Only draw the vertical grid; since we have alterntating row colors, we don't need the horizontal grid.
• File selection is saved between searches in the toolbar and sorts (from clicking on the table header).
• Empty groups are removed from the remote group list.
• Add a menu item under the help menu to go to Liaison's web site.
• Clear selection when group is changed.

Since 0.1.3a:

• File list is editable now. Changes still aren't written to disk.
• Added a preference to put remote hosts under a rendezvous group, or as a top-level group. By default, remote stores aren't displayed under a rendezvous group.
• File list has striped rows.
• File extension is now relegated soley to the "type" column. The other way just doesn't make sense.
• "Reveal in Finder" tool bar icon.
• Added "Get Info" under the file menu. This duplicates the "Inspector" menu under the window menu.

Since 0.1.2a:

• A few new toolbar icons.
• HFS type/creator codes are visible on remote hosts.
• Writer threads are cleaned up properly.
• The hooks for the Edit menu actions are in.
• Remote group browsing works again.

Since 0.1.1a:

• File copying works again.

Since 0.1a:

• I have an icon! (However, I do not have Photoshop skillz).
• Host name changes now update across the network. (Actually, this needs work. I doubt a file copy will work without restarting.)
• Fixed a bug with the preferences always thinking the hostname had changed.
