Changes in 2.49.9
Happy Halloween. This is the first Leopard release. It should still be Tiger compatible (it is on my test machine, anyway).
Changelog
- Fixed Applescript Return Value
- Leopard compatibility, backwards compatible Universal build
- Cut, Copy and Paste fixed in Leopard
Changes in 2.49.8
Bugfixes and interface enhancements. I'm not going to be able to test Leopard compatibility myself until 10/30, but if you have problems/solutions prior to that, let me know.
Changelog
- Added an option for link parsing in the current clipboard
- fixed some crashes related to grabbing URLs from browsers
- Fixed the icon that shows up in Growl when you call MoodBlast from an external script
- Added NetNewsWire url/description grabbing
- You can set options for hiding on blast/deactivate
- Added nifty window fade
- Supports SVN version of Adium (a little buggy. Them, not me ;)
Changes in 2.49.7
Applescript, Applescript, Applescript...
Changelog
- Better Facebook error checking
- Support for SVN Adium and future compatibility with 1.2
- Option to Auto-grab URL from current browser (and Vienna)
- Applescript support: tell app "MoodBlast2" to blast "^aistjyfu your blast string"
Changes in 2.49.6
Interface redesign, improved parsing (and link handling, and unicode support...)

- faster search and replace, faster %replacements and !bang-words
- better url parsing
- better unicode support
Changes in 2.49.5
Statuses panel bugfix, Tumblr improvements, service selection shortcuts, interface tweaks, Jaiku channels...
Changelog
- Statuses panel bug should be fixed. Seriously.
- Improved link handling and new syntax for Tumblr.
- Text before a link will become title of link
- Text after a link becomes description
- On pastes of YouTube links, title and description are combined with a line break to form caption.
- When using !ytfav/ytup, the prefix is combined with the YouTube title to create caption.
- Option to shorten Tumblr urls (Passwords Pane). If text is used before the link in the blast, it becomes a hotlinked title and the link itself isn't shown.
- Added "^" overrides. Use ^[asitjyfu] to override the service checkboxes for just the current blast. For example, "^atu Testing overrides" will send "Testing overrides" to Adium, Twitter and Tumblr. If the string following "^" contains a character other than a service shortcut before the following space, it's ignored and sent as part of the blast.
- New character count in test panel shows total characters after string replacements.
- Bugfix for Facebook overrides. +[] and -[] no longer require additional text to function.
- Added Jaiku Channel Support.
- If the mood portion of a string begins with "#", the characters between "#" and the next space are assumed to be a Jaiku channel and will be sent as such to Jaiku, stripping out the channel specifier for other services.
- There is an option on the Passwords panel to disable Jaiku channel support.
- Check out #MoodBlast on Jaiku for updates and sneak peeks...
- Major code rewrites to convert string parsing to regex.
- Fixed "SKYPEME" status for Skype.
- Live and processed character counts
- auto detection (and subtraction from total characters) of statuses and service overrides in string.
- Live count is moderately good
- Processed count is accurate except when using Facebook substitutions
- Test panel is editable. Hitting enter after making a change will update the main blast panel. Status and service prefixes will be preserved.
- Facebook +[] and -[] specifiers can now go anywhere in a string, up to 1 of each in a string.
- Added =[x|y] notation for Facebook. x=Facebook, y=everything else, divided by a pipe (|).
- Can be combined with +[] and -[] to include any or all in one string.
Changes in 2.49.3
A bunch of bugfixes. Then a few new features that will probably generate a new batch of bug reports. But I tested everything I could think of, I swear.
Changelog
- Bugfixes for the statuses panel. Dropdowns no longer require scrolling, and the strange glitch with removing rows while editing a cell should be fixed.
- Addition of Facebook ignore and add prefixes.
- Use -[text] at the beginning of a string to send the full string to everything but leave out the excluded text from Facebook. +[text] defines a prefix that is only sent to Facebook and will be ignored for other services. The two can be used in combination.
- Added Tumblr, which is turned on and off with "U" (T was taken by Twitter). Posts to Tumblr are analyzed and the correct type of post is chosen. There is not currently an option for setting a post title, but it will define special posts for links and use a video entry for links from YouTube, with the text before the link as the description.
- Addition of YouTube features. [optional prefix] !ytfav will send your last favorited video. [optional prefix] !ytup will send your last uploaded video (test first, I'm getting the occasional odd result). Be sure to set your YouTube username in the passwords panel.
- Other miscellaneous bug fixes.
- No longer hides on window change, requires escape or sending a blast to close. I found I wanted to copy and paste things into the window and having it constantly hide was getting annoying.
