OS X 10.5.2 threw a few curve balls at developers, and many of them are doing an admirable job of catching them with updates so timely you might think they were prescient. 1Password developer Dave Teare ranks high on that list, having put out an update yesterday that rapidly fixed the Safari problem that 10.5.2 introduced.

1Password is a favorite at TUAW, and it’s possibly been mentioned previously for it’s time-saving, form-filling, credit card-remembering capabilities. In addition to the Safari fix, there are lots of other enhancements to the application, such as user-assignable “restore form” shortcut keys in Firefox that should help keep my Services menu happy by avoiding conflicts, and an improved credit card fill should ease some frustrations with not-quite-filled forms and help speed up the draining of my available cash during the occasional on the web shopping spree.

So that bleeding-edge surfers aren’t left out, the release also adds support for the latest Firefox nightly builds, as well as Camino 1.6b2. And improvements to the new iPhone Logins bookmark should also be welcome for those surfing on the small but oh-so-touchable screen.

1Password runs $29.95 for new users and the update is free for current users. You can download the new version (free demo) at the 1Password site.

We use Skype for the TUAW Talkcast and recently, our host and podcasting guru (OK, not guru, but he’s the host and we like him), Michael Rose, has been looking at possibly using Ecamm’s Call Recorder 2 plugin as an option for recording our weekly talkcasts. I actually have used it to record both audio and video chat for the Squadcast and really think that it is a fantastic, fantastic add-on.

For anyone unfamiliar, Call Recorder is a great little tool that adds a recording window to Skype. This makes it easy to record incoming and outgoing calls (audio and video). The files are saved in the QuickTime format and they can be converted to MP3 or split into separate tracks.

With the release of the latest version of Skype for the Mac, Ecamm has updated Call Recorder as well. In addition to the latest Skype compatibility, Call Recorder 2.3 also includes a new two-track video recording option (so that you can have a separate stream from each side of the conversation) and enhanced video recording quality.

Call Recorder 2 is $14.95 (for $7 more, you can also get Conference Recorder, which adds the same functionality to iChat, and unlike the built in iChat recorder, doesn’t require both users to have Leopard) and a free demo is available if you want to try out the tool.

If you want a easy, hassle free way to record Skype conversations, give Call Recorder a shot!

Skype, which has become my primary means of communicating with anyone not standing directly in front of me, has updated to version 2.7.0.257 with improvements, changes and a very, very long list of bugfixes.

I’m happy, possibly even thrilled, about an alleged improvement in video stability. If you’ve ever used the video features, you’ve probably noticed that, in numerous scenarios, Skype likes to show up more in your crash logs than on your desktop. I haven’t had a opportunity to fully test out the video portion of this update and the release notes simply refer to it as “improved stability”, so I’m hoping for the ideal.

The 20+ bugfixes, by and huge, deal mostly with errors I haven’t run into and one grammatical correction to a dialog. Oh, and they fixed the language name for Belarusian, which could potentially appease 9,081,102* people.

Fewer crashes and proper grammar are tantalizing but, as is usually the case, I find the API additions to be the most exciting. The Skype API is AppleScript-able and fairly comprehensive. This update adds more interface access, new voicemail features, and a few intriguing looking options which I’ll just have to play with to understand.

It would be nice if the updater built into Skype actually did what the name implies, but for now you’ll have to head for the web page and get it yourself. Be sure to check out the release notes.
