Last year I was contacted about helping out with a few aspects of developing a stock application. The initial concept and application framework was already there, but there were a few tasks that still had yet to be completed, such as downloading current stock prices and handling software licensing. Off and on during the past several months, I spent some time working on different parts of the application and I'm happy to report that the first version of Trade Manager Pro is now available. Furthermore the companion e-book, Trading Your Way: Develop Your Personal Trading Plan, has been published as well. Congratulations to the folks at DSG Tradewise!

The sixth installment of Seasonality is hot off the press! Check out this latest update with support for Leopard, a revamped location database with over 10,000 updates, and several other new features and bug fixes.

I would like to send my congratulations to DynDNS for the release of version 2.0 of their DynDNS Updater for the Mac. Their dedication to the Mac platform is applauded by many. I helped in developing this version of the client, and was thrilled to work with a group of such highly skilled individuals on the project.

I'm happy to report that after being in the works for almost 5 months, a couple of days ago I moved one of the main Gaucho Software servers to a colocation datacenter. This server hosts the international forecasts for Seasonality and will act as a backup download server as well. The move should speed things up dramatically, as well as significantly improving the reliability of online services provided by Gaucho Software.

A lot of you have been waiting for this, and it's finally here. The final version of Seasonality 1.4 has been released! Seasonality 1.4 includes several new features like custom location support, weather journal improvements, moon information, support for mouse/trackpad scrolling, and several speed and stability improvements. This is a major update that has been long in the making. Check it out on the Seasonality project page.

Seasonality is now a Universal Binary. New features include a weather journal, a new radar image overlay for the U.S., and a brand new graph interface. In additional to these and other features, Sesonality 1.3 also fixes quite a few bugs and has several performance optimizations. This is a major update so check it out!

Thanks to Andre Beckedorf, a Universal Binary of XRG is now available (XRG 1.1u). This release is identical to XRG 1.1 and may have bugs, so treat it as beta software. If you have an Intel Mac, head over to the download page and check it out.

The Gaucho Software Forums are back online again. They have been offline for the past couple of days because of server issues. Now the forums are hosted on a new server and the forum software has been upgraded to the latest version. Check out the new interface, and feel free to post feedback.

Seasonality 1.2 was released this morning. This version adds some cool new features and fixes several bugs. I'm happy to announce that a French translation has been added, and I hope to support other languages in the future. Check it out at the Seasonality Project Page. Also, feel free to send in feedback by taking the online survey.
