A number of small updates today - there's a 3.5.2 update to the Mac version, and an equivalent 1.9.1 update to the iPhone version. Get it here.

I think PCalc Lite is likely to follow along in a couple of days - it seems to take slightly longer now to get approval from Apple due to the in-app purchase feature.

Both fix some small bugs in the core code, and add a couple of minor features including the ability to avoid clearing the tape when you hit "AC", and full support for the standard system "shake to undo" gesture.

Oh, and needless to say, if there's an Apple tablet announced tomorrow, I'll make sure there's a version of PCalc available for it soon!

PCalc 1.9 is up on the App Store now! You can download it here.

Well, kind of.

Apple's servers are having some problems today and some people are getting 1.8.1 again when they download the update, and some people who manage to get 1.9 are being told to download it again repeatedly. I'm hoping the problems sort themselves out over the next 24 hours, but apologies if it's not working for you at the moment. Right now, all I can do is report the problems to Apple unfortunately.

Also, PCalc Lite 1.9 has been held up too, I suspect because I've added a big new feature to it (which will be unveiled soon). Apple approved the full app in record time, but I think it will be a week or two more for the lite one to show. Hopefully just in time for Christmas!

Anyway, when you do get it, what can you expect? The main changes are:

• I've added a new calculator theme "Flux" which you can see above.
• You can now customize the decimal and thousands separators in the advanced settings.
• I've added options to automatically copy and paste when PCalc is closed and reopened.
• When using multiple memories, the memory keys now highlight to show which memories have values stored in them.

The full list is here. Most of the code that's changed in 1.9 is actually for low level changes in PCalc Lite 1.9. But more about that (hopefully) soon... The hint is that there are only seven lines of code which are different between the two apps now.

PCalc now requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later - it was getting difficult to support the older systems while continuing to add new features. Let me know if that causes anybody problems.

Enjoy!

DragThing and PCalc are both part of the MacUpdate Promo Winter Bundle for the next two weeks. You can buy them both, along with nine other apps for just $49.99.

Ironically, I'm tempted to buy the bundle myself, because I've been looking forward to the point-and-click adventure game Machinarium for ages, and I didn't realise it was already out. Plus I've heard good things about Socialite and GarageSale, and many of the others. Path Finder is another veteran app in the bundle, and I know lots of people use that in combination with DragThing.

Anyway, check out the deal and let me know what you think!

DragThing 5.9.5 is now available on the download page. This is purely a bug fix release to fix a couple of rare problems on Snow Leopard.

Enjoy!
