There Alpha 2.5.25887 Ready for Testing on macOS
Welcome to the 17th Version of the There Alpha!
Since this is an Alpha test there will very likely be bugs, in fact, it may not work at all!
Please, please, if you get a crash, please send us your There.log. Right now, the MacOS version isn’t cool enough to automatically send us the logs.
Here are the instructions:
Sorry it’s been a while since the last release. We turned on Shoutcast support and that took a bit longer than anticipated.
- ShoutCast / Music Boxes / BoomBoxes / etc support turned on!
We’re excited to announce we’ve got Shoutcast support working for MacOS!
By default, when you start up, “Music Playing” is OFF, and you will have to turn it on to hear music.
We set it this way so that if it turns out to be crashy, you won’t end up in a situation when you log on and immediately crash because you’re next to a Music Box.
We don’t support “3D” sound yet, but we do support stereo.
Please try it out and let us know how it works for you!
- Fixed a nasty bug which made action tags either not work, or work unpredictably when you clicked them. This occurred when there was a There Edge component like the shortcut bar, IM Window, etc., on the screen.
- Improved (or, tried to improve) handling with Action Mode enable. This should help your paintball skillzzzz!
Thank you for your participation! We value your time and efforts.
To test this app, open TestFlight on your Mac running macOS 14.0 or later and install the update.
