Konfabulator 2.0 expands widgets, customization

Pixoria today released Konfabulator 2.0, an update to the utility that allows you to use (and develop) cross-platform mini internet-enabled applications using JavaScript and XML. It offers both end users and Widget authors more control over Widgets; providesbasic customization features; and expands the Konfabulator engine. The release features revamped and/or new Weather, PIM (iCal/Outlook), Memory, and digital clock widgets. Widgets now offer COM support, inter-widget messaging, multiple window support, new timer objects, image tiling/scaling, custom contextual menu support, colorization features, expanded preferences, and more. A revised widget gallery offers more than a thousand free widgets with various different functions. The $20 utility runs on Mac OS X 10.3.8 or later and is available as a limited-time demo.

So after all that bitching and moaning over Dashboard, Konfabulator actually did something useful and released a new version with more features and cross-platform compatibility to entice old and new customers and stay competitive.

Good for them.

Eh, I bought Konfabulator in June 2004. This is essentially the first update since then -- and it is now at a reduced price. Not a good way to treat your users, IMHO.
