Portraits & Prints v1.2
- Portraits & Prints is a photo layout and printing application for OS X. Version changes include greatly enhanced AppleScript support.
The AppleScript dictionary has been expanded and scripts can now access almost every property associated with an individual photo entry in a catalog. Also, photos may now be exported under script control.
There's also a new "Scripts" menu. Scripts specific to Portraits & Prints can now be installed and will appear automatically under the "Scripts" menu. Choosing a script's name from this menu will execute it. Six "starter" scripts are now included to give you an idea of how to script Portraits & Prints. The Portraits & Prints Scripter's Kit (available late August, 2002) provides detailed information and examples on how to expand Portraits & Prints' capabilities via AppleScript.

NetNewsWire Lite 1.0b5
- NetNewsWire is an easy-to-use news reader for web sites. This latest release fixes some crashing bugs and bugs with the new headlines view, adds more sites to the sites drawer, and has a prefs window that works like Mail.app's prefs window. Maybe if I mention this handy application here often enough, the full release will be scriptable.

AfterTen Software
- AfterTen Software appears to be the (new?) company name for the developer of various scriptable Mac applications such as WeatherMan, CIDTracker and Albert. WeatherMan downloads and displays weather information from the National Weather Server and can run AppleScripts in response to new data being downloaded. CIDTracker, which is currently in public beta testing, decodes Caller ID information from a CID capable modem. It also keeps call logs and can run AppleScripts when a call comes in. Albert, which is under development, allows users to send commands to a Macintosh computer via email.
