v1.9
-trial version of this application.
- Made some changes to work around issues due to changed sleep behaviors in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Previously, Thoth sometimes seem to hang after the system had been put to sleep and then awakened until the escape key or command-period was pressed. As part of the work-around, Thoth now always monitor system sleep events, so the DoSleepTesting setting (see comments under 1.9.0.19 below) is now obsolete and ignored. Note however that to help Thoth handle the loss of network connectivity when it has open news server connections, especially when sleep is forced while Thoth is busy, enabling network connectivity testing as described in 1.9.0.18 below is recommended.
- There's also a new Miscellaneous prefs setting "Prevent Sleep If Busy" to have Thoth prevent the system from sleeping when idle if there are download tasks, etc. to perform. Note that this setting only affects idle sleep, and has no effect if the Mac is manually put to sleep via the Sleep command, etc.
- Changed how the dock is bounced and alerts are shown when Thoth is in the background.
