Fission 1.6 is Out!
You have to love Twitter for application updates. It seems to be the mechanism for indie Mac developers. Well... today I got a tweet saying that Fission 1.6 was out with a lot of improvements:
The biggest update is that Fission now has built-in iPhone Ringtone saving, using the same method found in our MakeiPhoneRingtone application. With Fission, you can take any audio file in any format (not just AAC), and easily turn it into a ringtone/alarm sound for your iPhone! Just crop it down to 40 seconds or less, then choose “Save as iPhone Ringtone”, and Fission will handle the rest. Your file will be transcoding to AAC if needed, then passed off to iTunes and ready for syncing.
Fission 1.6 also adds the ability to Insert Silence into a file, a command to set the exact location of the playhead, software updates via Sparkle, and almost two dozen additional improvements and bug fixes. It’s a free update for all licensed owners of Fission, and can be downloaded right here.
While I'm not into the iPhone scene -- yet, I can appreciate the Sparkle updater and the ability to make the ringtones as good, solid steps in the right direction.
