  • Several visual interface elements had to be updated for the Aqua look of Mac OS X.
  • New Get Info windows for catalog folder display a lot of interesting statistical information.
  • Several bugs have been fixed.

CDFinder is available for US$20. You can find more information at the CDFinder Web site.
