TubeSock for Windows 1.0.6 Released

Yesterday we released a new build of TubeSock for Windows, 1.0.6, that fixes a crash caused by changes YouTube made two days ago. Please download the new installer here. In case you’re wondering, the Mac and Windows versions actually use different methods for downloading files; and the Mac version was unaffected (so far) by the change.

You can download it right here.

TubeSock for Windows 1.0.1

We have just posted TubeSock for Windows 1.0.1. If you have already downloaded TubeSock for Windows, please download the new version.

The biggest change is in how we distribute registration files. Previously, these were sent as “.reg” files. Wow, was that a bad idea. Apparently reg files are a major vector for virus attacks, and thus every email server and client in the Windows universe freaks out when it sees one.

In TubeSock 1.0.1, we’ve switched to a text-based file registration format. Hopefully these files will be a bit more email-friendly. Also, TubeSock 1.0.1 includes a “Check for Updates” feature, so you can easily keep current with the latest and greatest version.
