August 2006!? Wow. That's the date of the last post announcing the release of XBit 1.0.5. I guess that means it was overdue for an update then. Well, it's available now from the ZenVilla home page.

What's new you ask? This version will properly display files that are saved out of the Leopard version of Apple Mail. I've also moved the whole project over from Mac OS X 10.2 to 10.5 so that I can use the latest and greatest tools, by which I mean, Xcode and TextMate. That has the unfortunate side effect of causing XBit to require 10.5 at this point. I haven't really looked at enabling support for 10.4 and I'm not sure if I will bother with that since the main change in this release has to do with 10.5 anyway. Version 1.0.5 will still work fine for anyone who isn't on Apple's latest and greatest. Oh yes, and it's a Universal Binary now!

So here's to timely updates.
