News Flashes

Due to feedback received following the Stepwise Birds of a Feather gathering at WWDC 2001, we have decided to release the new MiscKit 3 for Mac OS X under a more modern license.

The new license will be based on a popular license (either the BSD or MIT license) so that it will be familiar to folks who need to review such things (like legal departments of companies that wish to use MiscKit, etc.)

This has caused a slight delay in releasing the first parts of the new MiscKit. We apologize for the delay. Stay tuned for more!

There will be some new information about the MiscKit for Mac OS X presented by Don Yacktman at the Stepwise BOF at WWDC. Don't miss it! (For those unable to attend, we will post the information on this site soon after WWDC.)

AutoDoc 2.0 Beta 8 has just been released (May 17, 2001). There is a press release describing what is new and a mailing list for bug reports, discussion, and future development. If you use AutoDoc, you will definitely want to try out this new version. Parts of this code, including an all new MiscMerge, will be in the upcoming MiscKit 2.0.6 release and may be useful to developers now.

There is a new MiscKit ftp archive available which contains everything which was on the old ftp archive. The archive is located at ftp.misckit.com, hosted by Verio.
