Site design: Skeleton
I've just released a significant update to PacketStream, my network-monitoring GUI for OS X. The most significant new feature is that PacketStream now automatically queries the system for the active network interface, so manual configuration of this functionality is no longer necessary. (This had been a confusing point to some users.) The program also now includes more than 30 specific network filters to monitor specific types of network traffic; the documentation has been updated to reference the expanded network parts. The application also includes various other UI improvements and bug fixes. If you use PacketStream, the new version is a useful upgrade; if you haven't tried it, please do so. I think you'll be surprised at how easy it is to monitor network traffic over your Mac.

Updates for QuickWho, Manpower
I've released version 2.2 of QuickWho and version 3.2 of Manpower. These are mainly bugfix releases; they fix a potentially serious UI glitch with sheet windows, and also add some new support options to the help menu, including a link to the Code by Kevin user forum. If you use either program, please upgrade to the latest version.

Updates for windowlist and macsheet
I've released updates to my macsheet and windowlist open-source Tcl/Tk extension packages. The macsheet package implements "sheet"-style custom dialogs for Tk-Cocoa on OS X, while the windowlist package implements a Mac-standard "window" menu for window management.
Version 1.1 of macsheet fixes a potentially serious UI glitch in which the sheet window may be incorrectly rendered depending on whether it was invoked from a menu or a button/keyboard shortcut. The main macsheet command now includes a "source" parameter to indicate how the command was invoked.
Version 1.2 of windowlist now offers a complete implementation of the standard "window" menu on OS X. The package raises and minimizes windows, and also implements standard keyboard shortcuts for minimizing (Command-M), hiding (Command-W) and re-opening (click on Dock) the main window.
Both packages are available under Tcl/Tk's standard BSD-style open-source license.
