Product Description:

It allows 3rd party developers to register their products in manner so if the eligible application crashes, the crash log is sent to the developer as well as Apple. This greatly enhances the user experience of the OS, and allows developers to receive crashes and improve their software in a timely manner.

Smart Crash Reports is completely free to use for both users and developers; Unsanity is providing it as a service to the community.

What's new in this version:

The Installer plugin now checks to make sure SCR has the correct permissions on 10.5.
Updated to support Mac OS X 10.5
Now supports registering for SCR in Info.plist entries of bundles (Frameworks, QuickTime plugins, Photoshop plugins, Safari plugins, et cetera). Developers no longer need to call UnsanitySCR_RegisterMatchSpecifier() bundles (in most cases).
SDK: UnsanitySCR_Install now installs Smart Crash Reports with the correct permissions required to work on Mac OS X 10.5.
SDK: UnsanitySCR_Install now pretends as if SCR is not installed if it is installed inside the user's home folder on Mac OS X 10.5.x as Mac OS X 10.5 will not load SCR from the user's home folder. Behaves as before on Mac OS X 10.4.x.
SDK: Worked around a problem on Mac OS X that led to repeated calls UnsanitySCR_RegisterMatchSpecifier creating new entries in SCR's preferences when Mac OS X thought that two equal CFTypeRefs were not equal.
SDK: On Mac OS X 10.5.x, UnsanitySCR_Install no longer allows you to install in a non-global manner due to the new restrictions in Mac OS X 10.5.x. Behaviour on Mac OS X 10.4.x is unchanged.
Important Note: On Mac OS X 10.5.x, Smart Crash Reports must not be installed in the user's home folder (~/) as it will prevent SCR from loading even if SCR is installed globally. If you are a developer installing SCR, make sure SCR is not in the user's home folder on Mac OS X 10.5.x and move it to the trash (FSMoveObjectToTrashSync()) if possible.

For those who believe that Unsanity does not respond to inquiries, I suggest that you read the announcement in the yellow box at the top of their blog page that has existed for months now:

I own FontCard, FruitMenu, Menu Master, and WindowShade. All of their betas have worked well with Leopard on multiple Mac's.

this infestation has caused more trouble on my mac than any other software and hack combined, and some developers still refuse to give you the choice of wether you want this installed or not.

Evidently the folks at Unsanity are still out there. They haven't updated anything in a long time. Even their blog is way overdue for an update.
