Solid Update to Threshold

Threshold Beta 2.5 released. Hit up “Check for Updates…” in the Threshold menu or download here. 

Quite a few changes: 

Much of the core code has been rewritten to improve stability, performance, memory.

The Google Voice implementation broke when Google integrated GVoice into GChat. That’s been fixed. the two separate Google Voice contexts (GVsms and GVdial) are now integrated into a single “gvoice” context; which assumes you’re dialing a phone call, until you start typing a text message (“123-123-4567] text message”).  

I’ve been putting off upgrading the Twitter implementation to support OAuth, and still haven’t done it. Apologies. Right now the twitter context won’t work, so I’ve hidden it from the UI. Fixing  this is next on my list. If you know how to do this in cocoa and/or php please contact me: elastic threads at gmail

All web search and url contexts have been integrated into a single “web search” context. Set the prefered search engine in preferences. To open a url just type it in either the web search or default (blank) contexts.  

One more function added to the default context: If you start your command with “>”, instead of looking for finder paths or running a web search, Threshold automatically saves whatever you write (as you write it) to a .txt file on your desktop; hit enter and it will get opened in your associated text editor.
