DonkeyHelper 1.2

This free, open source script allows users to automatically add files to the download list of MLdonkey by clicking on a file URL that begins with 'ed2k://' for eDonkey2000 and 'fha://' for Overnet. The script requires OS X 10.2 or later and MLdonkey 2.00 or later. Release notes: Detection of sites that don't send complete URLs. Better handling of special characters. Updated browser compatibility list. The script is a little bit smaller. Now works correctly with the multinet version of mldonkey.

Virex 7.2.1 available from .Mac

This isn't related to AppleScript but it's noteworthy for many .Mac subscribers who use Fink and Virex (I don't know about Virex releases from other sources). Virex 7.2 has hosed many Fink installations and here's what the Virex 7.2.1 ReadMe has to say about it:
During the installation of Virex 7.2, the Virex installer will copy a number of files into the /sw/lib directory. Fink software installations that are residing on the machine may then fail to work as their libraries will have been overwritten with the Virex 7.2 libraries. Virex 7.2.1 resolves this issue by installing the libraries to the /usr/local/vscanx/lib directory.
We now return to our regularly scheduled AppleScript news and information.

Cool! MacInTouch has a RSS feed!

Macintouch: "We have been experimenting with providing a requested MacInTouch RSS feed , and we hope to continue it as long as there are no major performance problems (e.g. server overload from masses of people hitting the website simultaneously). You can paste the URL: http://www.macintouch.com/rss.xml into NetNewsWire or an equivalent application." [blog.scriptdigital.com]
