MacGourmet News

MacGourmet 2.4.4, another free, minor update is now available.

This update fixes a rare issue that can prevent printing, and resolves a couple of other minor problems. For a full list of changes, please see the release notes.

As always, MacGourmet can be downloaded from the MacGourmet download page. You can also get the update using the built-in updater.

MacGourmet Deluxe users: MacGourmet Deluxe 1.2.4 includes all of the above changes. It can be downloaded from Mariner's download page and by using the built-in updater, as soon as they make it available.

Future update news! For the near future, updates to the Mac and iPhone versions of MacGourmet are going to be infrequent and done only on an as-needed basis, because I'm hard at work on MacGourmet 3 and planning for MacGourmet touch 2. Keep your eyes peeled to this space or future updates as work on both progresses.

I've submitted 1.1 to Apple for approval. Typical turnaround, if there are no issues, is around 2 weeks right now. The new release includes the following:

• - A fix for a timeout issue some people have that prevents them from transferring data from their Mac to their iPhone/iPod touch because the transfer won't start.


• - A new way of transferring data to your iPhone/iPod using files exported from MacGourmet. This allows people still using 10.4 to transfer their data, and it provides an alternative method of transfer to the networking based one.

You should get notified of the update when it's available.

UPDATE: Version 1.1 is now available. When you update your app, make sure that the version in Settings is listed as 1.1.0. I've had reports of iTunes updates failing, and leaving people with "corrupted" versions that don't work correctly. When this happens, the solution is to first delete the app from your iPhone/iPod. Then connect your iPhone to iTunes and let the sync finish. After it does, you can then check MacGourmet in your list of apps, and reinstall it by pressing the button to update your iPhone. Once you do that, you should be able to transfer your data from the desktop version of MacGourmet to your iPhone using the network or new file transfer methods.

All of the optional web site importers have received updates for recent web site changes. You can download the latest versions from the web site importer page.
