Version 0.27

  • Suppressed a few build warnings related to changes in Tiger.

Version 0.26

  • Fixed a bug keeping songs from being added to iTunes after copying.

Version 0.25

  • Minor interface fix. Thank you to Raffael Cavallaro for pointing it out.

  • Linked the help menu item to the new FAQ page.
  • Fixed a bug with code contributed by David Oberst.

Version 0.20

  • The way that songs are being saved has been changed, so that a queue of songs can now be created. What this means is that you can select some songs to copy, then go back and select more to copy, and they'll get copied when the first ones are finished.
  • Fixed a bug causing songs with /'s in the artist or album name not to get copied with either of those preferences enabled.
  • Fixed a bug causing songs not to become grey when the application started up if they were in iTunes (they do after a second or two now). Not much has changed since the last version externally, but internal changes should make for some nice changes in future releases.

  • The last sort used is now remembered.
  • Fixed sorting and searching to be a little more like other applications.
  • Fixed a bug where track numbers were imported to iTunes wrong.

Version 0.18

  • Added the ability to add music to iTunes while copying.
  • Added an application volume preference.
  • Completely rewrote the code that reads the iTunesDB. It is now done recursively, in a more intelligent manner, and uses more information from the file. It is slightly faster.
  • Removed the restriction that Senuti would not would not automatically load the iPod's contents if iTunes was running.

Version 0.17

  • Started some iTunes integration stuff!
  • Songs already in iTunes should appear grayed in Senuti.
  • Version checking now shows what's new in the current version.
  • Threaded the version checking, so when my site is down, there won't be lag at startup.
  • Threaded copying of songs, so the application is still responsive when copying songs, and so the playing of a song continues while copying.

Version 0.16

  • Playing of songs is much better supported.
  • Added some preferences.
  • Users can now choose which columns to view (and there is more information available, too).

Version 0.15

  • You can now play songs on your iPod directly from Senuti.
  • If iTunes is open and a song is playing, it will be paused. A preference will come later.
  • When a song finishes, the next song will not play right away. I hope to get that working eventually.
  • Senuti also now reads ratings from your iPod (the stars).

Version 0.13

  • Added the ability to search playlists.
  • Fixed some sorting issues.
  • Added ellipsis for Panther users when information is too long in any of the columns.

  • Fixed a bug causing file extensions to be created incorrectly.

Version 0.10

Initial release

  • Limitations include the necessity for an iPod to be connected at launch time.

I am releasing this version in hopes that I will get feedback on whether the application decodes the iTunesDB file on different iPods properly.
