This is the latest builds page!

So you want to test the next version of Acorn or VoodooPad?

Great! There are a couple of requirements you need to get past first before you go on running it:

Make sure to backup your existing VoodooPad documents or Acorn images. This is absolutely necessary. I don't want anyone to lose data because of a bug.
If you do get a crash, please include a crash report in your feedback. Let us know what you were doing when it happened as this will help narrow down where it is happening to try and fix the problem.
Back up your data. (again!)

Warning: These downloads are the "latest" bleeding edge versions, which also means they haven't been tested much. They will probably beat you up and steal your girlfriend. Use at your own risk.

Acorn sandboxed downloads

Please read this if you want to run a copy of Acorn in the sandbox.
When running Acorn in Apple's new 10.7 sandbox, your preferences along with other supporting files will be copied into a new folder located here:
~/Library/Containers/com.flyingmeat.Acorn

If you try out the sandboxed version of Acorn and decide you no longer want to use it, things will be weird because supporting files will be in two different locations. For instance, your preferences will be lost unless you move them from ~/Library/Containers/com.flyingmeat.Acorn/Data/Library/Preferences/com.flyingmeat.Acorn.plist to ~/Library/Preferences/.

Known limitations:
Custom plugins, Quartz Composer compositions, and shared CoreImage filters no longer work.

Auto updating to the latest builds

Here's how to setup VP or Acorn so that it'll download the "latest builds" as updates, instead of the official builds. Copy the two lines below the application you are interested in to the clipboard, open up Terminal.app, and then paste in what you copied:

Acorn:
defaults write com.flyingmeat.Acorn SUFeedURL \ http://www.flyingmeat.com/download/latest/acorn3update.xml

VoodooPad:
defaults write com.flyingmeat.VoodooPad SUFeedURL \ http://www.flyingmeat.com/download/latest/voodoopadupdate.xml

VoodooPad Pro:
defaults write com.flyingmeat.VoodooPad_Pro SUFeedURL \ http://www.flyingmeat.com/download/latest/voodoopadproupdate.xml

VoodooPad Lite:
defaults write com.flyingmeat.VoodooPad_Lite SUFeedURL \ http://www.flyingmeat.com/download/latest/voodoopadliteupdate.xml

If you ever want to stop tracking development builds, you'll need to paste this in Terminal.app:

defaults delete com.flyingmeat.VoodooPad SUFeedURL defaults delete com.flyingmeat.VoodooPad_Pro SUFeedURL defaults delete com.flyingmeat.VoodooPad_Lite SUFeedURL defaults delete com.flyingmeat.Acorn SUFeedURL
