MacNN are dedicated to sorting through new update releases, and highlighting some of the important ones, as well as showcasing apps that we find to be interesting. Today, we look at revisions to Pro Versioner, iWatermark Pro, BitTorrent Sync, BombSquad, Opera, and LadioCast.

iWatermark Pro v1.72
$30
iWatermark Pro can be used to digitally sign photos and artwork with a personal text of graphic watermark. In v1.72 the Check for Updates option now works a little differently due to changes Apple made to security. Users will now be directed to download the update manually, delete the old version, and then place the new version in the Applications folder. A crash in 10.7 when enabling Sepia or Greyscale output has also been addressed, along with several other small bugs.
