   TidBITS Watchlist: Notable Software Updates for 7 January 2013

   TidBITS Staff

   Carbon Copy Cloner 3.5.2 -- Bombich Software has released [1]Carbon
   Copy Cloner 3.5.2 with a change in notification support for OS X 10.8
   Mountain Lion users, shifting from Growl to Notification Center. (Mike
   Bombich [2]details the reasons for the switch and offers a workaround
   to generate Growl notifications before or after scheduled backups.) The
   update improves handling MacFUSE filesystems, displays a 'bread
   crumb'-style indicator of the path to the folder selected as a source
   or destination, improves how Carbon Copy Cloner prevents a system from
   going to sleep during a backup, and fixes an issue with the OS X 10.8.2
   Supplemental Update that prevented a backup from taking place.
   Additionally, the system requirements for a remote Mac are now the same
   as those for your Mac running Carbon Copy Cloner ' notably, backing up
   to a PowerPC-based Mac won't work anymore. ($39.95 new, free update,
   10.7 MB, [3]release notes)

   Airfoil 4.7.5 -- Rogue Amoeba has released [5]Airfoil 4.7.5, which
   restricts searches to your local network to prevent possible issues
   with Back to My Mac and iCloud. The update also fixes an issue with
   failing to open a DVD in Airfoil Video Player, prevents a crash if the
   Transmit button gets pressed exactly as an output disappears, and
   provides some small improvements for Retina displays (a full Retina
   display update is yet to come). ($25 new with a 20-percent discount for
   [6]TidBITS members, free update, 10.6 MB, [7]release notes)

   SpamSieve 2.9.6 -- C-Command Software has released [9]SpamSieve 2.9.6
   with a fix for a bug that slowed down spam-filtering operations in
   Postbox when running OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. The update now
   understands that @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com addresses are
   equivalent for training purposes in Apple Mail, and SpamSieve also
   offers to load addresses from Microsoft Outlook directly rather than
   use the less-than-reliable Sync Services to perform that task. The
   release also removes flags from a message trained as good in Apple
   Mail, improves handling of invalid data received from a mail program,
   and improves interaction between SpamSieve and server-based spam
   mailboxes to prevent a trained spam message from ending up in the local
   spam mailbox. ($30 new with a 20-percent discount for [10]TidBITS
   members, free update, 10.4 MB, [11]release notes)

   BusyCal 2.0.2 -- BusyMac has released [13]BusyCal 2.0.2, a minor update
   that puts paid to several bugs. The update fixes some unspecified
   Google Calendar syncing bugs, a bug that prevented past due to-do items
   from showing in the To Do List, bootstrapping bugs with Daylite and
   Zimbra CalDAV Servers, and a bug that occurred when entering start
   times between 0001-0059 in 24-hour time. It also adds an option to
   print multiple months/weeks when viewing a custom number of weeks/days.
   ($49.99 new, but currently selling for $29.99 solely via the [14]Mac
   App Store, free update, 8.3 MB, [15]release notes)

   Typinator 5.4 -- With the release of [17]Typinator 5.4, Ergonis's
   typing expansion utility now enables you to export abbreviation sets
   using either tab-delimited text format or comma-separated value (CSV)
   format. The update also improves imports from TextExpander with
   conversion of date/time calculations, special keys, and input fields.
   The release also avoids a delay after opening the Typinator window for
   the first time, fixes an issue with Default Folder X, and provides
   improved compatibility with Photoshop CS6 droplets. ('¬24.99 new with a
   25-percent discount for [18]TidBITS members, free update, 5.0 MB,
   [19]release notes)

   BBEdit 10.5.1 -- Bare Bones Software has released [21]BBEdit 10.5.1, a
   maintenance release devoted exclusively to fixes after the recent
   release of 10.5 (see '[22]BBEdit 10.5 Adds Versions and Brings Web
   Sites into Projects,' 4 December 2012). Amongst the voluminous bug
   squashes listed in the often humorous [23]release notes, the update
   ensures the Markup menu's H1 through H6 commands render the correct
   heading level, fixes a bug that would reinstall command line tools if
   they were already present and up to date, adjusts behavior for the
   clippings system to avoid a crash at startup, corrects line spacing for
   printed documents, and fixes a bug in which attributes couldn't be
   removed from existing markup by using the Markup Builder panel. ($49.99
   new from Bare Bones or the [24]Mac App Store, free update, $39.99
   upgrade from pre-10 versions, 12.6 MB)
