Panic has updated three of its popular software titles to ensure compatibility for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Transmit 3.1, the new version of its popular FTP client, offers improved compatibility with Tiger, a new Safari-like Queue window, a new “Merge” choice when transferring existing folders, improved SFTP transfer speeds, support for HTTP proxies, more flexible synchronization filtering, support for more third-party editors, and more.

Panic is currently looking for “able-bodied, creative and disturbingly-thorough” beta testers for a few upcoming projects. Panic is the developer of such Mac gems as Transmit, Audion, CandyBar, and more. “This is a very rare opportunity, and the sign-up period is likely to only last for a few days — probably until end of day Monday,” said Cabel Sasser of Panic. “Users only need to fill out their name and e-mail, answer nine semi-random questions, and be on their merry way.

Hot on the heels of version 2.5, Panic has released a maintenance update to Transmit, its popular Mac OS X FTP client.

Panic today released Desktastic 3.0, a new version of its “Li’l App” that lets users draw directly on their Mac OS X desktop. Desktastic 3.0 adds a number of features, including Wacom tablet support for pressure sensitivity and erasing, auto-saving of drawings on quit, the ability to print drawings, configurable toolbar positioning, and a “Drawing Layer” preference that lets users tuck their drawings out of the way underneath the Desktop icons if desired. Version 3.0 is a free upgrade for all Desktastic owners.

After a three year absence, Panic is returning to Macworld Expo next week. The company will have a limited supply of free “Panicdisc” CD-ROM’s to hand out, which will contain all of their software demos, along with tons of extra CandyBar icons and Audion faces. The CD-ROM is also the only way to obtain a copy of B360, the company’s never-released 1982 arcade game, which is now ported to Mac OS X.

Panic today released Transmit 2.2, a free update to its popular FTP client for Mac OS X. Version 2.2 adds support for Apple’s Rendezvous technology via a pop-up menu that automatically lists all Rendezvous-capable local FTP servers. The update also includes an optional “Edit in BBEdit” button to toolbars, a new preference to manually set ASCII file extensions, lets a user automatically connect to a server on launch, fixes a potential problem with high idle CPU usage, adds Spanish localization, and fixes several bugs, many regarding SFTP.

Panic today released Transmit 2.1, the first update to the company’s popular Mac OS X FTP client. Version 2.1 adds a much-requested “Edit in BBEdit” feature, fixes a problem with passwords being occasionally visible as plain text, cures a problem where dragging items into a folder would make the “phantom items” appear, adds a French localization, improves AppleScript support, fixes rare crashes, and much more. Transmit 2.1 is a free upgrade for owners of Transmit 2 (US$24.95). Read More
