<\/p>\nMany users have been asking me about our plans for products we haven’t yet updated, namely Witch, yFlicks, and Butler. In response, I offer this generic timeline of our plans for the rest of 2010:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Please note that this is a rough<\/b> timeline, and subject to change based on our workload, customer demand, the phase of the moon, and the price of soybean futures on the daily spot market. However, it should provide a bit more detail on what our priorities are, and the approximate timeframe in which we hope to ship each of our apps. (It doesn’t show minor releases, which may include bug fixes and\/or new features; those will be ongoing for each product.)<\/p>\n
Read on for a bit more detail on each of the products in the timeline. Paddock<\/b> We’re working on Paddock<\/a> now, hoping to have it in the App Store within the next 30 to 60 days. However, we’re also somewhat waiting on Apple, to see what they announce for iPhone OS 4.0<\/a> on April 8th. If they come out with a full multitasking solution, Paddock’s reason for existence pretty much vanishes. That’s not to say that everything you saw in our video preview vanishes, though\u2013we have some plans in mind to use that technology in other iPad products if Paddock isn’t meant to be.<\/p>\n yFlicks<\/b> The timeline calls our yFlicks<\/a> update yFlicks 4. But really, that’s not going to be its name at all; it’s just that we’re not ready to reveal the new name just yet. Lets just say that I like it a lot more than yFlicks, and I think it much better describes the program’s capabilities. yFlicks’ schedule is somewhat dependent on Paddock; the sooner we get Paddock done (or if we wind up not doing it), the sooner yFlicks will be done.<\/p>\n Project X<\/b> This is another unannounced project we’re currently investigating. Only time will tell if it turns into an actual application, but if it does, we’re targeting a late summer release for it.<\/p>\n Butler 5<\/b> I know many of you would like to see Butler moved up\u2013way up\u2013on the schedule. Trust me, so would I, as it’s the one program I use the most on my Mac. All day every day, Butler is doing my bidding. However, it’s also our largest and most-complex program, and the one that needs the most time to make a successful jump to the next generation. We’ve got lots of plans for Butler, but if you’re a Butler user, we’d love to hear from you about what you’d like to see in the next version<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n As noted up front, this is simply a rough guideline for our plans for the remainder of the year. I’ll do my best to keep this timeline current if things change going forward…but we’re going to do our best to stick to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many users have been asking me about our plans for products we haven’t yet updated, namely Witch, yFlicks, and Butler.

\nWitch 3<\/b> The third generation of Witch<\/a> is very<\/em> close to release, and has a number of very cool new features. It’s now out in limited beta, and pending our tester’s feedback, we hope to release it later this week.<\/p>\n
