PrefEdit Version History

Release 2.0 (Build 080818)

• The application has been redesigned completely. There are too many detail changes to list here. Only the most important changes are mentioned.
• Version 2 has become a shareware application. Version 1.2 is still available as a freeware product.
• Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is the minimum operating system version. Previous releases of Mac OS X are no longer supported.
• By user request, the application now also includes a property list editor. All file formats for plist files are fully supported.
• By user request, changes to the Mac OS X preferences database now require an explicit confirmation in form of a simulated "save" operation.
• A viewer for Mac OS X Preference Manifest Files has been integrated. It supports the complete feature set. When editing preference settings, the application is automatically aware of manifests available in the system installation.
• The application displays automatic warnings when other applications make changes to the preference database which could be in conflict with the settings the user is currently editing.
• PrefEdit is no longer limited to user-specific, non-host-specific preference settings. It can also work with host-specific and system-wide settings.
• On demand, PrefEdit can compute the complete preference set effective for a particular application, visualizing Mac OS X's full preference search path.
• The user can now sort and filter the list of preference domains and keys. PrefEdit can automatically determine the correct domain for a specified application.

• The application is released as a Universal Binary.
• Mac OS X Public Beta, Mac OS X 10.0 and Mac OS X 10.1 are no longer officially supported.
