Galleon 2.0.1 Released

Dave Zatz has alerted me to the fact that Galleon 2.0.1 has been released. To be honest, I’m a little confused on what’s in this release. The release notes indicate that this is mainly a bug fix release however, the site lists a number of new features. If I remember corectly, these features weren’t in the previous release.

Updated: 1/2/06 (7:51 PM) For whatever reason it appears as though I completely missed version 2.0 of Galleon! This is the reason why I hadn’t noticed the new features :).

Here’s a summary of the new features in 2.0 and 2.0.1 taken out of the release notes:

Version 2.0.1:
———————-
Fix for app sharing configuration
