App development has taken off in the last few years, making it increasingly difficult to stay on top of all the latest versions. To help all of you out, we here at
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 highlight MacUpdate's Complete One Period Bundle, as well as detail updates to office suite OpenOffice, HDR tool Hydra Express, media player MPlayerX, USB driver USB Overdrive, Atari emulator Stella, and folder designer Plaster.
