DrawIt Goes 3.6, 3.6.1, and 3.6.2 and Drops Pixel Editing
Over the weekend, DrawIt 3.6 was released, and very quickly, it seems, 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 were sent out to address specific problems found by the first few users. I saw this just this morning, and I just got the 3.6.2 update. There are a few significant changes in this codebase - primarily the exclusion of the pixel editing features. Rather, they opted for a cross-licensing agreement with the Flying Meat crew to give you a license to Acorn for those features, and then allow a 'shell out' feature in DrawIt so that the integration is smooth.
I realize the need to specialize, and if you're not that good at one thing, take advantage of the fact that someone else is. Acorn is something that I use daily, and to see that DrawIt is acknowledging that as well is nice, and providing a clean interface to it even nicer. I don't see this as loosing something from DrawIt - as gaining a nice integration to Acorn.
That you get a free license, is nice, but I've already got licenses. No harm.
Two great products. Now specializing in what each does best. That's a great Mac tradition. Keep the faith, Boys! Gotta love it.
