Like a lot of you on this board I got Sidetrack for my PB 17. Unfortunately it expired yesterday leaving me speechless-that`s how much I was used to this great app.

Anybody know when 1.0 is going to be available?

I talked to Alex (the developer). He's working on some fancy new features that will make Sidetrack even better.

Hint: Think about trackpad corners, and how they sort of correspond to screen corners. Now think Expos�.

As others have noted, SideTrack 0.7.2 was released Oct. 6. It doesn't expire till Dec. 30.

I'm using beta expriations to force folks to update at appropriate intervals. ST 0.7, for example, contained a serious (kernel panic) bug. I've been frankly surprised that folks are still successfully using 0.7 at all.

Anybody know when 1.0 is going to be available?
Nope, and if I don't know, no one does

As of right now ST 0.8 is being worked on (the driver loaded for the first time just last night). ST 0.8 is nearly a complete rewrite of SideTrack using a bunch of info learned from the public beta. In particular the new code is better threaded and gracefully handles some oddball configurations (Kensington).

Hope 1.0 comes out before Xmas
So did I, but its not going to happen. Right now its possible that 0.8 will be in public beta before XMas, but I can't promise that yet. Should 0.8 not be ready for XMas I'll put out an interim 0.7.4 release in mid-December to extend the current beta period to Feb 30 2004.
