Release Notes: Slink 1.0 beta (139)
For the best Slink experience, update both the Slink Preference Pane (on your home computer) and the Slink application (on your remote computers).
Known Issues
While Slink is a Universal Binary, PowerPC support is experimental. We recommend against installing on PowerPC Macs until we have tested on PowerPC further.
The Slink Preference Pane cannot automatically configure your broadband gateway when the Mac OS X firewall is configured with “Allow only essential services”.
Changes
- We have stress tested Slink in the last week, fixing a lot of bugs.
- Slink now allows you to connect to computers on your local network in “test mode”. A warning sheet is displayed to this effect. Help page added for test mode. Help button added to warning sheet.
- Slink daemon (part of the Slink Preference Pane) is now handling automatic updates better. It will hold off updating until there are no active Slink connections.
- Logging has been improved to make beta testing and bug finding easier.
- Images in help pages updated to reflect latest release.
- Slink is now smarter in handling icons for services and applications.
- Bug fix: Slink sometimes crashed when connecting to a service. Fixed in build 139 and later.
- General bug fixes and improvements.
