- Added ability to drop duplicate frames under Mountain Lion.
Fixes

- No longer shows a black frame at the beginning of recording when running on Lion.

Changes
- Updated to have minimum requirement of OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
- Additional stability improvements.
- We have reworked the underlying frameworks that make up the base of our products, due to these new frameworks / reorganizations - all localizations have been temporarily removed. We will be working with our localizers to being complete localizations in future releases. We didn't want to have half-baked localizations, and so decided it'd be better to remove them temporarily. Watch this space!
Changes
- Additional validation and checking in capture code - this is a partial fix while we discover the underlying cause. It will result in a minimum capture size of 16x16 instead of a potential crash situation. If you see small 16x16 captures, we'd like to hear from you.
- Updated to have minimum requirement of OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
Fixes

Changes
- Fixed problems with pause where after repeated pauses recording might stop (didn't happen all the time).
- Fixed issue whereby the grab would become faster after pause (if you never paused while recording you'd never notice this).
- When paused you can now move the capture rectangle about.
- Mono option put back in as some people are using the single two channel mic input to record two tracks of audio and balance it later. It's now in Preferences not part of each preset.

- Fixed a possible crash bug.

- Capture guide now reflects the recording speed (so it jumps across the screen if you're at 5fps and is nice and smooth if you're at 30fps).
- Fixed jagged edges when using GMA950.
- Fixed high performance mode for GMA950. It's *significantly* quicker than older builds now, for this type of GPU.
- High performance capture is now the default. Previous issues with the GMA950 (MacBook/Mini) and dual displays have been resolved.
- Preferences modified - options to flush grab and select high performance have been removed.
- Fixed messed up H264 encoding.
- Frames are no longer quantized to duration boundaries (was causing dropped frames).
- Fixed the "sound disappears after a while" bug, when Record System Audio is enabled.
- Completely reworked timing system. It is now possible to record the iShowU menu itself (this was impossible using the previous method of frame timing, due to technical reasons).
- You can now choose to use an alternate method to capture the mouse cursor. This can be set in Preferences.
- Performance improvements for machines using the Intel GMA 950 chipset (older Mac Mini and Macbooks).
- You can choose if you want mouse clicks on all the time, or only if you're holding down certain special keys (shift, alt/option etc). See preferences.
- The "mono" option has been removed (now all microphone audio is automatically recorded as mono). The system audio track remains Stereo.
- Soundflower updated to the official version 1.3.1. This should fix problems installing Soundflower on some hardware (notably PPC). This version allows volume controls to work when "record system audio" is enabled. Note:The upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 is not automatic. You will need to first uninstall Soundflower (use the iShowU menu to do this) and then click on 'record system audio' to reinstall the new one.
- The registration system has been updated - you can now have it get your registration details from the internet (pretty much the same as you visiting the SWB website and logging in, just much easier) rather than having to copy/paste them into the right fields.
- Updated the Hungarian, Norwegian and Finnish localizations.
- Some minor bug fixes

Changes
- Soundflower updated to version 1.3 (with a fix). There was a bug in the driver which prevented it from working on PPC systems (it worked fine if you had an Intel machine), this has now been fixed. This version will sit in test for a little while to ensure that it works for everyone.
Changes
- Soundflower updated to version 1.3. This time I even copied the right Soundflower.kext (the 1.3 version) into the bundle, so that it does install 1.3 and not 1.2.

Changes
- Reworked all presets. Most now use Apple Animation (generally better for performance), added a preset for WoW that uses Apple Intermediate (if available) or Apple Animation with a slightly reduced frame rate if AIC isn't present. Presets are now included for iMovie HD, iMovie and YouTube / Blip.TV. If the FCP uncompressed codecs are present, then presets are created for these as well. Note: The new presets will only appear for new users. If you want you can reset your existing presets (see the Edit menu), but this will erase your existing presets.
- Sorting for descriptors is now case insensitive (generally makes more sense).
- Default microphone and system audio volumes are now 100%.

Changes
- Fixed bug whereby hitting the shortcut to record again would corrupt an existing recording if one was in progress.
