TuneRanger for Mac OS X Changes
Build 273 Notes (Released December 13, 2007)
- Functionally equivalent to Mac build 270 (only available from Smith-Micro)
- Cosmetic changes needed to support Smith-Micro, our new retail distributor.
- Free Trial changed to 15 days from website registration and download from Smith-Micro websites.
Build 270 Notes (Released October 5, 2007)
- Fixed several bugs in the new metadata (ratings, play counts, etc.) synchronization.
- Fixed the last play date so it works with European format dates.
- Fixed sync issues between Mac and Windows and certain mp3 files.
- Fixed an issue on PowerPC Mac where the playlist would be doubled.
- Minor interface changes.
Build 221 Notes - Beta (Released September 26, 2007)
- Main window interface changes
- Numerous assorted bug fixes
Build 214 Notes - Beta (Released September 20, 2007)
- Added support for Ratings, Play Counts, Last Play Date, EQ Settings and Comments. Changes to any of these iTunes database fields will now be synchronized.
- Files larger than 300K are now supported. New limit is 4.3GB per file.
- Fixes for a number of elusive bugs related to 2-byte and high-ASCII characters in file names, tags and iTunes database fields.
- Fixed several random crashes when running on Japanese systems.
Build 206 Notes - Beta (Released August 22, 2007)
- Fixed a problem affecting users with internally corrupted iTunes Libraries. While iTunes appeared to work properly, it had internal problems only visible to applications accessing the Library via the published API's. Previously the solution had been to rebuild the Library which solved the problem in all cases. We implemented a workaround in this build.
- Added a few more diagnostic messages to the logs.
Build 204 Notes - Beta (Released August 21, 2007)
- Resets the trial period for an additional 30 days using the original activation code.
- Added some new messages to the logs.
Build 203 Notes - Beta (Released August 20, 2007)
- By popular demand, we now support the use of a common shared music repository by multiple iTunes Libraries. In this configuration TuneRanger will now sync music, video and playlists without duplicating files.
- We now support the use of symbolic links and aliases in the iTunes folder path.
- Fixed problems with non-english language versions of iTunes. Removed hard coded string for "Library".
- Fixed an elusive threading crash.
- Fixed a crash when attempting to read tags bad MP3 files.
- The first three items required extensive changes to the code so please report any regressive behavior.
Build 200 Notes - Beta (Released August 10, 2007)
- Lots of general reliability, network discovery, and speed improvements.
- Added “Track#” as a top level comparison key. This was added to resolve false duplicate issues with some classical music collections that use the same song name within an album and differentiate songs only by track number.
- Improved logging should help us to diagnose problems much better now than with earlier builds.
Build 194 Notes - Beta (Released July 31, 2007)
- The speed and reliability of the automatic discovery system was greatly improved. TuneRanger can now locate other Mac TuneRanger installations on much larger networks and is no longer limited to class-c networks for auto-discovery.
- Fixed issues where the correct IP was not being chosen on systems with multiple active adapters or on systems running Parallels and Fusion.
- Fixed a random crash that occurred when the UI (user interface display) was updated and at the same time another TuneRanger-running computer was discovered.
- Fixed a random bug where the same computer showed multiple times in the list of found remotes. The second copy would not have the correct name and if selected would not work.
- Fixed random crashes on the code that determined a user's Apple ID. This was limited to users whose iTunes .plist was corrupt.
- Fixed issues where the user interface would not update properly after a computer was discovered.
- Fixed a crash that randomly occurred when a remote computer was discovered.
- Fixed a random crash after a sync was completed and TuneRanger did internal cleanup or sync finalization.
- Fixed a case where user interface was not reflecting the correct settings because the sync did not perform correctly.
Build 187 Notes - Beta
- Fixed an error where some serial numbers were not being recognized as legitimate. Upon re-installation users may need to re-enter their serial numbers.
- Implemented Bonjour for discovery of other Macs
- Fixed a random lockup affecting some users.
Build 179 Notes - Beta
General
TuneRanger for Mac OS X is not a "port" of the Windows version. It was created from scratch using XCode in Objective-C and every relevant Apple native technology available. It is a Universal binary and will run natively on both PowerPC and Intel processors.

Build 178 Notes - Beta (Released August 10, 2007)
- Lots of general reliability, network discovery, and speed improvements.
- We've adopted Apple's Bonjour network discovery on Windows. Using Bonjour, TuneRanger will now auto-discover TuneRanger-running computers on larger more complex networks and do so much, much faster. If you don't install Bonjour on Windows TuneRanger will revert to the original discovery system.
Click here to download Bonjour directly from Apple.
We hope to make Bonjour part of the TuneRanger installer before version 1.0.

- We've removed the option to install as a client since this was causing some confusion for some users. Now all TuneRanger installations are client/servers. You can still turn off the server in preferences.
