Spiny releases Comictastic 2.3
Spiny software announces the release of version 2.3 of Comictastic.
Comictastic is a comic strip reader and aggregator. Similar to
NetNewsWire and other news reading applications, only specifically
tailored for comics. Comictastic fetches your favorite strips every
day, and presents them all in a convenient interface. The main
changes in version 2.3 include RSS feed support and interface
improvements.
Comictastic is shareware, and costs $15. Version 2.3 is a free update
for all Comictastic users. Mac OS X 10.3.9 is required.
Features:
- Support for 10 breathtakingly humorous comics built right in.
- Your favorite comic isn't supported? No problem! Just type in
the URL and relax. No awkward plug-ins or HTML knowledge necessary.
- RSS and Atom support for comics that provide feeds (you can
also use this feature to read news feeds, in a gimpy sort of way).
- Download comic archives to easily catch up on missed days.
- Save comics on your disk for later browsing using the handy
built-in calendar.
- Scheduled refreshing--wake up to fresh comics, just like that!
- Simple, intuitive interface puts flimsy newsprint to shame.
View your comics one at a time, or all at once, newspaper-style. It's
your choice.
- E-mail comics to your friends using the built-in E-mail Comic
feature, or just use drag-and-drop to do it your own way.
- Export comic "definitions" (the files that tell Comictastic
how to download a comic), or import definitions created by others,
enabling you to instantly add support for new comics.
- Zoom in on those tiny, hard-to-read comics--or zoom out! The
possibilities are practically limitless!
New in 2.3:
- RSS and Atom support. Some comics now provide RSS feeds -- a
superior method of comic delivery, both for the cartoonist, and you.
- Email Comic. Quickly send comics to your friends -- or enemies.
- Interface improvements. The main window is much more glamorous
now -- kind of like those big kids with their "delicious" interfaces.
- Redesigned preferences dialog.
- Brand-new New Comic Setup Assistant makes adding new comics
easier and less painful than ever before!
- The Edit Comic sheet has been replaced by a Get Info panel.
- New cache format and location. The cache is now stored in ~/
Library/Application Support/Comictastic/Cache/, and is structured
differently.
- Performance improvements, especially in launch time.
- Numerous other bug fixes and miscellaneous improvements.
