Shrook goes Universal Binary

The latest release of Shrook, v2.42, runs natively on Intel Macs. It only actually required one change to the code, plus I had to ditch a library I was using that isn't available for Intel.

The other notable new feature in this release is that it makes your groups available for viewing on shrook.com. Downloading groups from shrook.com (ie actual synchronization) isn't ready quite yet, but I decided it was a useful enough feature on its own to put in a public release.

I've also added a simple crash reporter. The first time you start Shrook after a crash, it will offer to send the report to me, which will make it much easier to fix Shrook to make sure it doesn't crash again. There are no hacks involved in doing this. All Shrook does is check the Shrook crash log in the Library folder, and submits the last chunk to my web server if it's been modified. And it asks permission first.

One last thing, Shrook won't crash when you delete a smart group.

The download is on the Shrook page.

Thanks for the Universal. Runs much faster on my MacBook. As always my favorite app.

The dock icon does not display the total number of unread items anymore. I can't decide if I like it this way or the old way but thought I would let you know.

Keep up the good work.
