I’m happy to announce that Tubular 1.0 Beta 4 is available. There are a number of internal changes to fix some scattered bugs and improve performance, as well as a number of bug fixes. You can download the newest version by clicking the Download button above, or by checking for updates from within Tubular. The most noteworthy fixes:
- Tubular now has a Leopard-compatible 512×512 icon designed by Tom Stoelwinder.
- When a video is finished converting, the progress bar will fill and stop animating, instead of staying as indeterminate.
- The counter in the source table will now decrease when videos finish converting.
- Stopping or deleting a video conversion will remove the progress bar and cancel button properly
- Minor speed enhancements in video and category information loading.
- Memory leak fixes in the video data system.
- Under certain conditions, the cache would not empty properly; it should work correctly now
This will most likely be the final beta release. The 1.0 release is right around the corner, as I finish the help documentation and get the new web site, also designed by Tom Stoelwinder, in order. The goal is to have the final release before this year’s WWDC, which begins June 9th. I will be posting a preview of the new site very soon.
