Nutrition 1.1 Now Available
Nutrition 1.1 is now available. The new version allows you to add your own nutritional items to the database, and it includes fixes for some calculation errors and a few other bugs. It also features an update to the latest data available from the USDA, SR20.You can download Nutrition 1.1 here.
Note you could see some nutritional value changes if you recalculate, both because of updated information from the USDA, and the fixes added (if you happened to have data that hit the problems). Updated documentation is included on the disk image and will be available in MacGourmet 2.2.5, which will be available soon.

Is this available as an update for people who purchased the previous version, or do I have to buy it a second time?
Unless it's specifically stated that there is an upgrade charge, upgrades are always free, you can just assume that. If an upgrade ever costs anything, it will be clearly stated so that there is no confusion.
So this is a free upgrade.
Wow, thanks for the quick response. So is there a different way to download it then?
The only way I could see to get it is to pay for it.
All downloaded versions are both demos and full versions and everything is dependent on having a serial number. Since you have both serial numbers, upgrading is always done by just downloading the latest version and installing it the way you did in the first place. For MacGourmet, that's just replacing the application, for any plug-ins, that's downloading an updated version and double-clicking on the package file.
Why are so many normal ingredients "not mapped to nutritional item" in Nutrition 1.1? I mean "sharp cheddar cheese (2 cups, 8oz)" and other commonly used cheeses, french bread, and corn startch to name a few?
There are limited default mappings because there are nearly limitless ways to say "cheddar cheese" and there are many different potential mappings for cheddar cheese in the USDA database, all of which depend on how you are making your recipe.
Another reason is an ingredient like "milk." From just that ingredient description, there is no way to make a correct mapping. Are you using whole milk? 1% fat? Skim?
Mappings are stored, so once you add your own mappings, you'll need to do less each time you calculate your nutrition. Being consistent also makes things a lot easier too.
