RapidWeaver 4.3 is now available!
For the past couple of weeks, we've been hard at work finalising RapidWeaver 4.3 to make sure it runs beautifully on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Today, after much testing and feedback from users, we are absolutely thrilled to publicly release RapidWeaver 4.3!
RapidWeaver 4.3 is recommended for all users - whether you're on Leopard or Snow Leopard - and a free update is available via RapidWeaver's built-in Check for Updates option as well as the Realmac Software Downloads Page! There’s tonnes of small improvements and bug fixes in this release - if you’re curious about what’s been fixed, be sure to check out the release notes.
On behalf of everyone at Realmac HQ, thanks for your patience with this release - and happy weaving!
RapidWeaver 4.3 Release Candidate 1 is now available!
With Apple's next OS X update just around the corner, we're super-excited to announce that RapidWeaver 4.3 Release Candidate 1 is now available! This version of RapidWeaver is designed to work seamlessly on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and features a number of improvements, small features and bug-fixes.
As Snow Leopard is all-but-confirmed to ship a little earlier than everyone expected, we've not yet declared 4.3 'Gold Master'. However, this build has been tested at Realmac HQ on both Leopard and Snow Leopard and after a round of public beta testing is now ready for public use!
If you encounter any issues with RapidWeaver after Snow Leopard launches, please be sure to let our support team know and we'll work with our developers to make sure any outstanding issues are fixed by the time RapidWeaver 4.3 graduates from Release Candidate to final release!
RapidWeaver 4.3 Release Candidate 1 is localised in French, German, Italian and Japanese too!

A Word About Snow Leopard
Ever since Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference, we've received a number of messages asking about Snow Leopard support for our applications. Like every Mac developer, we're going to be updating our apps for Snow Leopard - here's the details.
RapidWeaver
Only RapidWeaver 4 will be updated to run on Snow Leopard. Though we're not updating RapidWeaver 3.6.7, it remains available for download & purchase and we're continuing to support users of 3.6. As you'd expect, the Snow Leopard update for RapidWeaver 4 will be a free maintenance release.
LittleSnapper
LittleSnapper will of course be updated for Snow Leopard in a free maintenance release.
Realmac Apps & Snow Leopard Previews
We continue to receive reports from users about their experiences with the Snow Leopard previews. Whilst we're always grateful for bug reports, we would like to remind users that Snow Leopard previews are pre-release builds of the OS intended only for developers, and that the code-base is always changing. As such, we do not support users running RapidWeaver or LittleSnapper in Snow Leopard developer previews.
We don't have any announcements to make regarding the release dates for the updates right now, however we hope to have Snow Leopard-compatible versions of LittleSnapper and RapidWeaver 4 available around the time Snow Leopard is officially launched in September.
A Sneak Peek at LittleSnapper 1.1
As always, we're incredibly busy at Realmac HQ with updates for RapidWeaver and LittleSnapper. Today I thought I'd share a quick sneak-peek of a substantial update to LittleSnapper - version 1.1 - that our LittleSnapper team are working on. There's tonnes of enhancements and new features in the release, and whilst we're not quite ready to announce every new feature, here's two big features we're adding: tag management and autocompletion. They're two of the most frequently-requested features in LittleSnapper, and I'm thrilled to announce they'll be available alongside some other great additions very, very soon!
Our web gurus are also hard at work on a massive update to the QuickSnapper service that we'll be announcing shortly. Stay tuned for more details soon!
