I think we're ready for a few changes in the OPML Editor.
1. There's a new official way to get updates. This has been well tested and there have been no problems. This update is recommended for all OPML Editor users.
2. There's a new test version of the full Mac download.
3. And one for Windows. This one has been most problematic, because there's probably a crashing problem with Vista, but it's hard for me to tell because there's been limited testing, and I'm not running Vista myself.
If you have data to share please either post a note on the mail list or in a comment.
There is a known workaround for Vista, if you write-protect background.html in the Appearance folder, the program should launch without a problem.
Joshua Allen uses the OPML Editor on Vista. Hmmm. I guess that's not the problem.
