Possible Bug - Keychain Issues?
It would appear there may be some keychain issues going on with Yasu. I’ve not been able to track them down or reproduce them myself, but if Yasu is to blame, that’s just plain bad.
To alleviate the problem, I plan to update Yasu this evening to remove all keychain interaction, thus solving the problem entirely. For those of you that were so happy about having the ability to save to the keychain - so sorry to take it away, but it’s not worth the trouble it seems to be causing.
Keep an eye out for an update soon. For those who this may have been affected, my sincere apologies.
[UPDATE] - I have been able to reproduce the issue on my own machine (Don Fraser - sorry for not believing you sooner), and I know what the problem is. A fix will be out shortly…
Yasu 2.0.1 Released
A minor update that addresses the known issues (see previous post) has been released, and is available for download on the Yasu page. This version adds the following:
- Fixed a keychain retrieval performance issue
- Addressed a log directory missing error for new accounts
- Added Italian localization
Enjoy!
Yasu - Known Issues
What full version release wouldn’t be complete without a list of issues? Fortunately, with Yasu v2, there have only been a couple of discovered items, which are;
- Authenticating on an older (slower) machine in an account that has a crazy huge number of keychain items may cause Yasu to choke up. This isn’t really a bug in Yasu, it’s a shortcoming in Keychain Scripting. I’ve already signed a deal to license an alternative solution which fixes this. It’ll be part of the next release.
- Running Yasu under a brand new, fresh out of the box account will result in a log file missing error. This goes away once Yasu has been run once. It’ll be fixed in the next point release.
So there you have it, the “known issues” list. Two items for a full version release. Not too shabby, eh? Of course, I’ll add to this list if more are found.
