Other features include a new print preview and performance improvements.
The new version primarily fixes issues in earlier iterations, such as a bug where command-W would accidentally close a tab instead of a window, a problem where the program could crash while getting the unread count of flagged items, and a broken Check for Updates feature (as a result, you must download the update manually). In addition, NetNewsWire now sports a French localization. The new version incorporates a number of fixes for users running Snow Leopard, including a pair of crashing bugs. NetNewsWire 3.2.2 costs $10 and is also available as a free ad-supported download; it requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later.-Dan Moren Delicious Library update rolls out Snow Leopard fixes The latest update to Delicious Monster's media-cataloging software, Delicious Library 2.3, was announced on Thursday.

There are a number of other improvements with iSight scanning, Bluetooth scanners, and the program's Feedback Panel.
Sente 6 features synchronized libraries, making it easier to maintain multiple copies of a reference library on multiple computers. New PDF markup commands can be used to highlight passages in a PDF file. The update's hierarchical reference tagging allows users to assign and use tags on references; the tags can be assigned hierarchically, and Sente will treat references with child tags as though they had been assigned parent tags. Also, Sente 6 includes support for hundreds of new bibliography formats. Twitterrific 3.2.1 fixes a number of bugs, such as an issue where command-C would not work on Snow Leopard, a problem where tweets were not deleted, and a problem with URLs that use Unicode encoding in the domain name.
A single-user license for Sente 6 costs $130; academic licenses cost $90, with an Undergraduate Edition-which works with 250-reference libraries-available for $35. Users who bought Sente 5 on or after January 1, 2009 can upgrade for free; otherwise, an upgrade costs $40. Sente 6 runs on Mac OS X 10.5.8 and later on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs.-PM Iconfactory updates Twitter client for Mac The Iconfactory released an update to its Twitter client, Twitterrific, on Thursday.
