Sparkle is the business

With a little help from Jamie Van Dyke we finally nailed the crash bug in Diffly. It turned out to be a sloppy piece of coding on my part with respect to handling opening work copies with a space in their path. It was totally not in an area where I was expecting to find the problem and some very early code that I wrote before I was really familiar with the Cocoa framework. It also explains why I found it so hard to track down, I still tend never to use spaces in paths if I can avoid it.

I packed up version 0.7.2 and used Feeder to update the Diffly appcast feed that Sparkle uses to update the application automatically. It's the first update I've done in anger and my test copy updated like a charm. Sparkle is good stuff and I'm really grateful to Andy for making it available for free.

I've also taken the opportunity to try Twitter again and use it largely as a way of twittering about development. I guess it's more conversational, I probably wouldn't blog like that. Thanks to Paolo for prompting me.
