Sophisticated Circuits Updates
three new Macintosh software updates
Sophisticated Circuits has released three new Macintosh software updates: PowerKey 4.3, Kick-off! 1.7, and iDo Script Scheduler 1.6.
All three updates feature a newly rewritten background engine that works better when multiple users are logged in at the same time using fast user switching under OS X 10.3 "Panther" and 10.4 "Tiger".
In addition to assorted minor bug fixes, each update includes these new features:
PowerKey control software
PowerKey control software for the PowerKey Pro 650 programmable power strip now allows specific outlets to be set to automatically turn on after a power failure. In addition, for PowerKey Pro Admin users, this update allows crash detection settings to be configured using AppleScript and it includes iDo Script Scheduler 1.6. The new PowerKey software v4.3 is free to all USB PowerKey Pro Model 650 users.
Kick-off!
Kick-off! control software for the USB automated crash recovery device now allows crash detection settings to be configured using AppleScript. The new Kick-off! software v1.7 is a free update from Kick-off! v1.5 and later, or a $35 upgrade from 1.0.
iDo Script Scheduler
iDo Script Scheduler can now automatically launch Python, Ruby and Tcl/Tk scripts (in addition to AppleScript, Perl and shell scripts) at preset times, when a hot key is pressed, or when the computer is idle. The new iDo Script Scheduler software v1.6 is a free update from iDo Script Scheduler v1.5, or can be purchased for $24.95.
All the updates are immediately available at Sophisticated Circuits' web site: www.sophisticated.com
