Download: MacCaching Build #98 - Fixed iPod Paperless Support (5.3mb)
There were two annoying bugs with vCard exports. if there was a ; in a field the entire record was truncated. This is based on how Address Book handles vCards. The 2nd was that hints didn’t always work. Both have been fixed now.
Discuss any issues in the MacCaching Forums.

Download: New Serial Port Support(5.3mb)
Quick change in this build for serial ports. The “To GPS” button uses a new method to determine your system’s serial ports. Preferences uses the old method.
If you are using a USB-to-Serial adapter, please let me know if you see different results in these two different windows.

This build is mostly bug fixes, in the sense, there are no new features. The backend has received much attention as I’m trying to avoid the memory leaks which have been causing me problems. Please let me know if you run into any issues.
To discuss this build, visit the MacCaching Beta Forum.

Download: MacCaching Build #81 (5mb)
If you downloaded Build #80, you’ll probably get an exception when loading. This version will fix that exception. No other features have been added. I’m working on the memory leak that occurs during import and export.

Please note, this release is out of date. Please use a new build: http://www.maccaching.com/tags/latest-build/
Download: MacCaching Build #80 eXplorist now works in the “To GPS Button.”
You can now export a cache list (or the library) to an eXplorist, using the “To GPS” button. There will be a quick dialog to give you a chance to name the file. From the feedback by eXplorist users, I understand the filename shows up in your GPS. This will give you a chance to name it to something other than my default. If you have suggestions, let me know.

Updates to MacCaching and MacCaching.com have been pretty slow lately. In the last few weeks I have taken a new job in a different part of the country (from Texas to Colorado). This meant doing two very different jobs in two different cities for the last 6 weeks or so. Just to give you an idea of where I am at, I can not even find my Garmin!
So, MacCaching is still in active development, just not as active as usual. In another couple of weeks I’ll be adding some features I’ve been meaning to add and releasing version 0.6.0.
Thanks for the emails in the mean time. I know there are some annoying bugs left in the latest releases (even the latest builds). I’ll be getting to them soon.

Download:Download Build 68, Posted on 3/5/07
Some people have had their libraries get corrupted which prevents MacCaching from loading again. I have implemented a simple hack that attempts a recovery (which only works sometimes) and then gives the option to start over with a blank library.
You (the user) also has the option to send me your Library.xml file, to see if I can manually fix it.
it still isn’t clear to me why some libraries become corrupted in the first place.

Download: MacCaching Build 67
Turns out there are some memory leaks in the XML processor I am using. This would prevent large libraries from opening. It is advisable to re-launch MacCaching after importing a GPX file (especially a large one.)
