[Itms-backup-beta-testing] Beta 0.7 released!

[Mario D. <mar...@ma...>]

Gentlemen,

I've released beta version 0.7 just a few minutes ago. I've been 
running all the tests that I've included in the "Guide to beta testing" 
document, and I encourage you to test the application when you have the 
chance.

Aside from testing, I'm looking for feedback on the icon, and more 
importantly the error messages. As you can read in the release notes, 
I've begun to add support for localization. At some point (when the 
application gets close to its final release), I'll advertise for 
translators. Perhaps version 1.0 will only be in English, but I will 
add foreign language support when I can.

(I did a search on Google for "iTmsBackup" and found sites in Danish, 
German, and one or two other languages that referred to it. Basically, 
I think they just mirror releases posted on Sourceforge and Freshmeat. 
I can't be sure if non-native speakers of English are using the 
application, but I'm willing to localize it if I get native speakers 
willing to write translations.)

Thursday, I am thinking of submitting news of the release to 
MacUpdate.com. This is what I meant when I said I was looking to 
promote the application to a wider audience. Hopefully we can garner 
feedback from a wider audience and maybe pick up an additional beta 
tester or two.

It's important that if you get the chance to take a look at the 
application before Thursday that you do so and report any issues back 
to the list, before I throw it into a bigger pond than it has been in 
up to now  ;-)

Thanks!

Mario
