Press Release for 19 Jan 2005

Stairways Software releases Interarchy 7.3.1

Perth, Western Australia - 19 January 2005 - Stairways Software Pty Ltd is pleased to announce Interarchy 7.3.1, the latest version of its award-winning Internet application for Mac OS X. Interarchy can download and upload files via FTP (the Internet standard File Transfer Protocol), SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol), and FTP over SSH (FTP/SSH). In addition, it can download files or whole web sites using HTTP (the HyperText Transfer Protocol), provide a wealth of information about your Internet connection, and help you work with remote servers across the Internet.

Interarchy 7.3.1 fixes a crashing bug with input windows.

Interarchy 7.3 primarily includes structural changes, completing the long transition to Mac OS X - the last vestiges of Open Transport have been eliminated, localized files are all plist or nibs, only the AppleEvent terminology remains in the resource file. We have also added the Kagi Registration Module so you can purchase directly from within Interarchy, and written our own column view to resolve all the issues with the Data Browser's column view, and rewritten the list parser from scratch.

Interarchy 7.3 includes the following new features:

• Removed remaining dependence on Open Transport.
• Converted resources to Mac OS X plists.
• Added Kagi Registration Module
• New column view with support for click rename and all the other niceties.
• Added regular expression driven list parsing and support lots of new list formats.
• Added regular expression ignored files for Listings, Transfers and Mirrors.
• Include Help Viewer documentation.
• Bundle all the extras into the single application bundle.

Interarchy 7.3 includes the following bug fixes:

• Store the date order for ambiguous date format FTP servers.
• Allow extra space at the start of the file name in FTP listings.
• Resolve modification date issues for FTP and SFTP.
• Edit With ensures that any trailing slash is removed.
• .htaccess (and others) are noted as files (for symlink guessing).
• Command key for Create File (Shift-Option-N).
• Command-Delete deletes bookmarks in the Bookmarks window.
• List View selection highlighting matches the Panther Finder.
• Fixed a race condition crash in dialog input.
• Fixed some updating issues with the Auto Upload and Bookmark bar.
• Fixed some problems with column widths and resizing the Network Connections window.
• Check Site Links divider behaves correctly.
• Added Register Interarchy menu.
• Consider PureFTPd's truncated listings as errors.
• Encode HTTP URLs with spaces when parsing HTML files.
• For new FTP Disks created with an existing folder, the folder will not be trashed if you delete the FTP Disk.
• Check Site Links checks cite=URLs.

Interarchy 7 follows on the long history of improvements to provide a host of new features. Major new features in Interarchy 7 include:

• Fully Mac OS X native (carbon events and native core networking).
• Tabbed browsing (just like Safari).
• Bookmark Bar (just like Safari).
• Icon view (to complement list view and column view).
• Full bookmark management system, including FTP Disks, Rendezvous services, bookmarks, Address Book entries, scheduled and startup items.

• Full support for local files (file listings, checking local web sites).
• Full support for dragging between windows (FTP, SFTP, File, HTTP).
• Toolbars everywhere.
• A single combined Transfers window.
• Enhanced scheduling.
• Enhanced Check Web Site including options, local sites and warnings.
