Since I have included Uli Kusterer’s Crashreporter in Cyberduck, there have been many reports sent in. Some of them made me aware of problems and bugs got fixed. However, there are some crashes, I cannot track down:

This looks completly obscure to me. It might be some concurrency issue in the menu delegate code (e.g. in the BookmarkMenuDelegate (line 160), HistoryMenuDelegate (line 218) or RendezvousMenuDelegate (line 283) of CDMainController. Or not. It might be a completly different issue I am unaware of or it might be a bug I can’t even fix myself but is in closed code from Apple (I have filed radar://4784618). Any ‘diff’ sent to me resolving the crash gives a bounty (using Paypal) of 100$. You can check out the Cyberduck source code from the Subversion repository.

Despite using the SpamFilter plugin, there were too many invalid tickets on the Cyberduck Trac in the last few weeks and your are now required to register before being able to open a new ticket or append comments.

MacHouse has recently posted a screencast about Cyberduck giving a nice introduction to the application.

Ethem Tolga contributed a Turkish localization which will be available in version 2.5.6 of Cyberduck. The current nightly builds are feature complete and can be found at here.

Peter Maurer’s Butler can now access Cyberduck bookmarks!
