Another year, another iRoster release.
You thought development on iRoster was dead. Think again! This version adds more features than ever before and fixes more bugs then you would believe.
Well - actually it runs on 10.4 now and the preferences all work now I think.

What is iRoster?
iRoster is a small and convenient tool for finding and connecting to Rendezvous enabled services on your network such as web servers, Apple File Sharing (AFP) servers, and others.
iRoster provides easy access to Rendezvous services on your network from a menu accessible within its dock icon (or from the menubar). iRoster can also advertise [...]
Turns out that one of iRoster’s embedded frameworks was left linking to libSaturn (part of CHUD). Anyone without CHUD installed (i.e. most non-developers) will not have been able to launch iRoster. I’ve fixed it and posted a new version. There are no differences between 1.0b11 and 1.0b10 beyond this one fix.
That’ll teach me for testing [...]
After nine months iRoster 1.0b10 is finally available.
Bug fix and general spring cleaning release.
iRoster now supports over 170 Rendezvous services. A simple browser window has been added to iRoster. Browsing and publishing of services can now be controlled via the Rendezvous Menu.
If you were running previous versions of iRoster then your preferences will have been reset. This [...]
I googled for iRoster just now because I’m a little bit bored. Boy did I get a weird hit. Just over two weeks ago someone decided to turn the iRoster icon into a wallpaper for KDE. Um ok. It sure is a purty icon (thanks to http://iconizer.com/) but I’m not sure even I would want [...]
Rawr-endezvous is another Rendezvous menu in the dock program just like iRoster! (Also mentioned in passing on the Tao of Mac blog).

Will iRoster ever become a 1.0 product? Probably not. Will there be more beta versions? Maybe.
If you use iRoster and happy with it (and want it to leave beta) let me know! Either leave a comment in the blog or send me an email (see the contract page). Let me know your thoughts.
However I’m currently [...]
Version 1.0b9 of iRoster is out. Yes another beta. It runs on Panther now.
Why the delay? The main reason was I was waiting for Apple to release XCode 1.1. XCode 1.0 had a bunch of bugs (esp. in the command line ‘xcodebuild’ tool) that was really preventing me from creating a reproducable build. iRoster has [...]
Yes. The expiration has yet again hit iRoster. iRoster 1.0b8 expired on Sept. 30th and no new version has been uploaded. The reason why is that I’m testing a new version on Panther. Sorry for the inconvenience.
