Not long from now, Mac OS X 10.7 Lion will be ready to download for eager Mac users across the globe.
Well, we’re ready. Today we posted four (!) software updates, mainly to improve Lion compatibility and be ready for the future.
We haven’t yet dug into Lion-specific features, such as fullscreen, but these minor updates will at least keep you rolling with your favorite Panic apps well into 10.7.
Better still? All of these updates are 100% free for current owners.
Here’s what’s new:
- Coda 1.7.1. This important release fixes some annoying possible crashes in Lion. Not much else changed, but that’s because we’re very busy working on the big guy.
- CandyBar 3.3. Not only are we up to date with Lion’s icons, but we also tweaked our user interface to better match 10.7, fixed the Export size slider to snap to common sizes, and more.
- Unison 2.1.5. No known Lion issues to speak of, but we did fix a frequent crash with playing audio, squashed a rare situation where preferences would get reset, and more.
- Transmit 4.1.6. Our amazing Transmit Disk feature (try it!) now fully supports Lion (a “non-trivial” change, I’m told). We also snuck in support for the AWS Tokyo region, Cyberduck 4 favorites importing, and more.
(As always, you can get full release notes by hovering over the ‘Download’ button on each app’s web page.)
These updates are available immediately direct from us. Just launch and use the apps — they’ll update for you. (CandyBar users will need to manually download and replace their current app.)
If you bought via the Mac App Store, hang tight — these updates (save for CandyBar) are currently in the review process, and should be available very soon.
We hope you enjoy Lion!

7/5/2011 11:11 PMcool cool cool… I actually _just_ got a macbook pro knowing that Lion might break things.
and you guys should let the folks at http://roaringapps.com/ and let them know about this.
I know that you got this a lot, but, git support for 1.8? pretty please?

7/6/2011 1:25 AMGreat news! Looking forward to a hassle-free upgrade to Lion when it hits. Now, Coda with Lion-friendly full-screen mode… yes please!

7/6/2011 4:55 AMSome of lions features look awesome. Full screen is a must on coda 2.0. But also wandered if you were going to get a chance to incorporate the document version api. There’s been times when time-machine has saved my ass, but I don’t always have access to it. It would be great to have this incorporated in the new coda release, perhaps with the code comparison tool your no doubt developing. Look forward to 2.0 keep up the good work, think you now have pretty much the whole mac developer community waiting on it, no pressure ;-)

7/20/2011 1:24 PMPanic team; thank you for the great apps!!
I hope coda 2 supports auto-complete for your functions. This is one of things I am currently missing!
Is there a page with requests for your software updates?
Peer

Jack Barham
7/24/2011 2:58 PMI would love to see a Lion friendly full screen option on the next update (and for Transmit too, as I use it as my main file organiser too). Any news on when Coda 2 is heading our direction ..?
Jay
7/26/2011 5:32 AMAdd me to the list for full screen. I emailed you guys about a student discount once upon a time, and never have been more rewarded by paying full price! Thanks for being awesome!
Bruce
7/27/2011 3:43 PMVery happy with the progress with Lion, and glad you’re on it.
Also, I want a full screen image of that Lion with the glasses you used!
John
8/16/2011 12:03 PMCan CandyBar be updated to make the UI in Lion not suck? I want my Aqua buttons & colorful sidebar icons back. I’m surprised that this UI update is so bland. I thought I was running OS X, not Linux (even Windows looks better than this in some regards)
Fredrik
8/23/2011 9:08 AMAdd me to the list of people who want fullscreen :)
Keep up the nice work, looking forward to Coda 2.0 and other great products from you guys

9/1/2011 6:10 PMAny hope for an update to Desktastic? It’s a great tool I use in teaching, and have been holding of updating to Lion!
Dimas
10/13/2011 3:38 AMWill Transmit include in next update synchronization capabilities through iCloud? The MobileMe option for this was quite useful… but yesterday gone with the wind…
Rob

NoMax
10/19/2011 9:18 AMPlease port Unuson to iPad! There is no decent Usenet solution for iOS, especially for dealing with binaries.
Aise
10/29/2011 3:53 PMFull Screen support for Coda and I will buy it!
Adam
12/28/2011 7:11 PMHow to make Coda 1.7.4/5 use Lion’s fullscreen feature: http://itracki.com/dev/mac-tutorials/mac-tutorial-os-lion-app-fullscreen/
Specifically, follow those instructions on /Applications/Coda.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/TSEditor.nib, TSDocument.nib, MainMenu.nib, and Sites.nib. (Maybe only some of those are necessary; I don’t know.)
Joshua
1/11/2012 10:16 AMTo confirm Adams comment, I also followed the directions on http://www.tuaw.com/2011/07/25/hackinations-making-any-os-x-app-full-screenable-in-lion/ applying the changes to the following files:
DebugBEEP.nib
DebugPrefs.nib

English.lproj/AboutBox.nib
English.lproj/Books.nib
English.lproj/CollaborationAlerts.nib

2/24/2012 8:41 AM@Joshua Can you share your changed files, because I have a problems with conversation to xib. I really don’t know why, but “plutil -convert” is not working for me.
steve
2/24/2012 8:41 AM@Joshua I mean – please share your changed files.
Steve
