Ben Hodder: Thanks for the kind words. Fission 1 is likely to see it show a mention of Fission 2 in the next couple months!

Dave M.: This seems like a rather off-topic request, but I'll address it. We've always tried to support the current OS, and the one before it (so right now, 10.7, and 10.6). When 10.8 comes out, we won't immediately drop support for 10.6, but it will start to be on the chopping block.

But really, so what? For apps like Airfoil, you don't need to have the latest to keep using it. Airfoil 3.5.7 is the last version for Mac OS X 10.5, and while it's not as great as Airfoil 4, it still works well, and we still have a few 10.5 users buy it each week.

In short, just because new versions no longer support an older OS doesn't mean all is lost. Our Legacy page exists for a reason - to provide older, still working versions to folks on older OSes.

Adrian: What's the use case for showing release notes there, instead of in an actual update window? Built-in software update (via Sparkle or something homegrown) is pretty well-established now, and works well for the purpose of moving folks up to free newer versions. It seems like using a News window for this is likely to be a duplication. Or is it your only update method?

Good to know on Guest Users, though I suspect that's much more of an issue for your app than most!
