What’s New
Version 2.9.32:
- Machine sleep prevention feature, when enabled, now works for audio playback as well.
- Fixes issue preventing the machine/display sleep prevention feature from working consistently.
- Fixes issue preventing refreshing of certain feeds
Requirements
- OS X 10.11 or later
- CAN NOT DOWNLOAD: Some probably encounter the following error: This site can’t be reached ...sundryfiles.com’s server IP address could not be found. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. In this case, please use Google DNS and you will get rid of trouble.
- If downloaded file can not be extracted (file corrupted...), please make sure you have downloaded the file completely and don't use Winzip, it sucks! We would recommend using The Unarchiver.
- By reason, the App does not work and can not be opened. Mostly, just Disable the Gatekeeper, and you get rid of troubles.
