So Mother 1.0.0 Alpha 2 was released today. Quite a lot has been improved but there are some features still to be implemented so there will be an Alpha 3 before the official Beta program starts. Registered Alpha testers can view the change log at www.mugginsoft.com/testing/mother.

The update includes the latest build of Sparkle (1.5b6) which insists upon code signing. I have tested this with a pre-emptive Alpha 3 and it all seems to hang together. So fingers crossed for future updates.

The second alpha release of Mother was posted today. If you would like to participate in the testing programme then contact us at testing@mugginsoft.com.

One of the G4 mac mini test machines is still refusing to connect to the server agent. The other machines are not exhibiting the problem. Despite this I decided to make the alpha release available today.

Posted the announcement on the mac applescript users list.
