Release Date

June 1, 2005.

Requirements

Requires Mac OS X v10.3 or above. Mac OS X v10.2.x is no longer supported!

Editions

Unless otherwise specified any features listed are in all editions of Curio. Features only available in certain editions will be listed with color-coded words like this [ProK12HomeBasic]. So, for example, [ProK12], means that the feature is available only in the Professional and K-12 editions of Curio.

New Features

Curio now includes a Tiger Spotlight plugin which automatically adds all text, titles, and URLs found within your project to the Spotlight index. To force Tiger to re-index all your existing Curio project files open Terminal and type the following (assuming your Curio application is installed in /Applications): mdimport -r /Applications/Curio.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/Curio.mdimporter Otherwise, Tiger will simply index existing files only after you manually modify and save them from within Curio.
The Organizer now supports showing smaller preview icons or hiding them completely via its context menu to greatly increase the number of idea spaces visible at a time.
Added new Back/Forward and Previous/Next buttons as optional controls for the toolbar. Simply customize your toolbar to add them.
The drawing tools on the toolbar have been modified to use standard controls supported in Panther and Tiger. These controls look much nicer!
[ProK12] Added a Pages document to the instant embedded templates.
Minor UI cleanup to the Organizer and Navigator popup menu.

Notable Fixes

Tiger fix: the project file extension (aka .curio) is now hidden by default as it should be. We now pay closer attention to the checkbox on the Save dialog to either show or hide the extension.
Tiger fix: took care of an issue where an exception was being logged to the Console due to our use of Apple's secret method for doing shadows. Now we're using the public interface to do shadows which was added in Panther.
Tiger fix: the pressure-sensitive pen is, for some odd reason, receiving a full click (aka pressure=1) on the initial press making a dark spot if you were starting a stroke. This has been fixed.
