Peacock 0.24

Permanent link November 21st, 2007

After last weeks false start I am glad to announce that Peacock 0.24 is now available. It comes with some extra new features to make up for the wait.

Note 1: The system requirements are now Mac OS X 10.5 or newer. Version 0.23 is the last version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4.

Note 2: The file format for the library has changed. You need to export your library as JCAMP using version 0.23 and reimport that file using version 0.24.
