CrossWire Developer NoteUpdates from Dev Team - Version: 1.0b3, 7/8/2007 10:37PM PST

It actually just uses the FrostWire core, the application around it is developed by our group as such (and compiled in Mach-O).

The preferences window does need a redesign, which is planned to be done before version 1.0 Final. Some other elements will also likely change, including a new search tool, advanced search capabilities and an updated results filter.

CrossWire ReviewResponse - Version: 1.0b3, 7/8/2007 04:15PM PST

Rampancy, I agree - CrossWire could be a lot more Mac-like. The 'search' facility is strange, I agree. No 'crashes' on my Intel iMac (running 10.4.10). I see the FrostWire people are behind this project. What I have noticed is this : search for certain files in CrossWire and they are 'queued' or 'connecting'. The very same sourced files in FrostWire, however, download immediately. Though this application has its faults, and I am sure it will improve, the good thing is that, despite what many idiots say, music sharing didn't die when Crapster went legit.

Very, very unstable. I just clicked a few checkboxes in the preferences window (where movies, pictures, etc. download to) and it crashes repeatedly.

Oh, and I'd much prefer a more "Mac-like" preferences window as opposed to the list-form that it has now. And, I can't customize the toolbar.
