TypeStatus Plus Released
Belated TypeStatus for Mac update
It’s a bit later than I wanted it to be, but I’ve just released TypeStatus for Mac version 1.0. The changelog:
New again
Well after a mishap in what I thought would be a quick and painless WordPress upgrade, I’ve ended up rewriting this site to use the pretty cool Wintersmith, which the Cydia repo has been using for some time. Given this site is now made of completely static files generated by my computer at home and not the server, that won’t happen again.
End of season
It’s that time of year again when a new major iOS has just come out and the jailbreak community starts to significantly decrease in size. Thus, I’ll be releasing a final update before I stop working on tweaks until the iOS 8 jailbreak release - FlagPaint7 1.3. Here’s the changelog of the update I just submitted to BigBoss:
Three thousand
I was originally going to postpone this until the iOS 8 jailbreak, but thanks to the recent iOS 7.1 jailbreak release, today I’m announcing that “something awesome” I mentioned.
This month in HASHBANG history
The first five months this year were definitely nowhere near as good as they should have been for HASHBANG, in terms of getting well-tested tweak updates out quick. We’re working hard as of this month to improve that, and we’ve kicked that off with a major FlagPaint7 update only a week after the previous.
Opener settings issue
We’re currently sorting out an issue that’s causing Opener’s settings to display an error message (“There was an error loading the preference bundle for Opener”). Until then, you can manually install an update for the HASHBANG Productions Common package which fixes this.
TypeStatus for Mac Oopsie
TypeStatus for Mac beta 1 was actually… a really early build from April 2013. Oops.
TypeStatus for Mac and Obsidian Menu Bar
This post is now outdated; beta 2 fixes this.
That thing you’ve been waiting on for a very long time
Opener 2.0
It’s taken way longer than it should have, but nevertheless, Opener 2.0, MapsOpener 1.3, and LinkOpener 1.3 have been submitted to BigBoss.
FlagPaint7 Lite 1.0 Issue
This has been fixed with FlagPaint7 Lite 1.0-1. Open Cydia, let it refresh, and you should see an update in the “Changes” tab.
The iOS 7 tweak situation
I’ve received massive amounts of questions about the same issues on iOS 7, so I’m posting the answers here so I don’t need to repeat it.
The Big HASHBANG Tweak Update
It’s about time for The Big HASHBANG Tweak Update. Some of these have long-standing bugs that I’ve never gotten around to fixing, or features I’ve really wanted to add. You’ll find all of these updates in Cydia soon.
Introducing Aphelion
Recently, HASHBANG Productions has been working on an app for iOS devices running iOS 7. You’d know that already if you’ve been following @AphelionApp on Twitter. This app is (yes, yet another) Twitter client, with the aim of looking right at home in iOS 7’s new UI, as well as allowing you to multitask. This is something that’s been very lacking in current iOS Twitter clients, and as heavy Twitter users ourselves, this was something that needed fixing.
TypeStatus for Mac is coming
Instability of TypeStatus 1.1b4
HASHBANG Productions is very sorry for the issues in the latest TypeStatus beta release (beta 4 and 4a - 1.1~beta-137 and 1.1~beta-139 respectively). If you’re experiencing issues with this TypeStatus release and would like to downgrade to a more stable version (1.1b3 - aka 1.1~beta-79), follow these instructions.
