Beta: Latest Build of Viscosity for Mac

[dfile]

BTW, 64-bit version coming anytime soon?

Thanks Matt, well spotted. It has been corrected in the full 1.0.6 release.

BTW, 64-bit version coming anytime soon?

Hi dfile, version 1.0.6 of Viscosity has 64 bit kernel support under Snow Leopard. However the Viscosity application itself is still 32 bit, and will probably be that way for a while (as the version of Python we use is 32 bit only). However it's unlikely you'd see any performance benefit from a 64 bit version, as Viscosity isn't all that CPU intensive (most of the time it should be sitting at 0% CPU usage).

Cheers,
James

Viscosity 1.0.7b1 is now available. Please see the first post for the download link.

The latest beta, version 1.0.8b2 as quoted above, is functioning normally thus far upon my initial testing. I was able to successfully access the internal network of each configured VPN connection without any visible issues nor any other difficulty related to updating.
