In case it somehow managed to escape your memory, today is the 2-year anniversary of BitWise 1.0, just shy of our overall 4-year anniversary of BitWise 0.1 (March 17th). To celebrate, we're releasing a new version of BitWise and a new version of the BitWise Routing Server!
BitWise 1.7.1 is a bug-fix release, with one major new feature: native support for Intel Macs through a universal binary for Mac OS X 10.4. This means that users with Intel-based Macs can enjoy BitWise at full speed without having to use the built-in Rosetta technology. It's possible some Intel Mac-specific bugs may still appear, but we'll deal with those if/when they arise.
The BitWise Routing Server 1.7 release didn't add any new features, but we did update to the latest versions of wxWidgets (from 2.6.1 to 2.6.3 on Windows and Linux, and 2.7 on Mac OS X). Newer versions of wxWidgets bring bug fixes, and in the case of the Mac version, improved native look and feel in many areas.
We'd also like to thank all of our users for supporting us over the years. If we had listened to the skeptics at the beginning we never would have released anything at all. Yet here we are, almost four years later. So, have some cake & ice cream to celebrate the BitWise 1.0 anniversary, and then grab the latest version!
