I have been a long time Visor/TotalTerminal user and wanted to try iTerm2 on 10.11 but was concerned with its use of the Sparkle updater framework. I could find no sign through all of my research if confirm if updates are performed through https instead of http and I declined to install it. I also couldn't find a way to contact the anyone to ask, so I'm glad you posted. So? What does it use? Don't you think this may…

Yep, https. Look at the last two URLs at the very end of the file: https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/blob/master/plists/releas... Likewise, all HTTPS here: http://iterm2.com/appcasts/testing3.xml If you're on Mac OS 10.11, we don't disable app transport security, so the OS prevents us from making HTTP requests at all.

OK. Thanks.

And what about the risk of parsing file:// and ftp:// and other protocols inside the WebView component What assurances can you give that there is not security flaw on the server that allows replacing XML file?

(author here). I pushed out a promotion today to let users know about the new version before auto-updating everyone. It breaks backward compatibility with applescript, so it'll be a rough upgrade for some folks. I'd love to hear any thoughts on how to make this less painful. My first experiment with in-app advertising (promoting the beta version through a popup dialog) has gone well, with a 31% click-through rate, an…

I was actually just very mildly annoyed by this in-app promotion. (trying to convey the absolute minimum amount of annoyance while still being annoyed) While I was typing it popped up and opened a browser when I hit enter, entirely without me seeing more than a flash of the ad.

That flow may explain his excellent click through rate ;)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

OSX-only apps that I absolutely love and consider must-haves: Free: Iterm2 Spectacles Sip Not free: Dash Textmate (I use it as the equivalent of Windows' Notepad.exe) Transmit Sketch Paw If anyone has any other suggestions for things that they consider must-haves, I'd love to know about them so I can try them out!

thanks for the tip on spectacles. I've been using sizeup for the same functionality for years bit it looks like spectacles does the same thing for free. How does paw compare to postman?

Thanks for the mention! What makes Paw different is dynamic values which lets you access/parse data from previous responses and compute anything you want. It's a simple way to do visual programming for your API testing. Also today we're introducing full encryption for users credentials. Also, Paw is a native Mac app, and we love the look and feel it has. (disclaimer: I'm Paw's founder)

iTerm2 is the most beautiful, customizable and usable OS X terminal replacement in the history of everything. Full stop. Go2shell also makes iTerm2 slightly even better, just don't mistype it without that 's'. Sadly, iTerm2 doesn't make coffee or answer email, and for these couple of trivial, unrealistic failings I'm anonymously internet outraged with a cohort petition of at least 235k signatures so far to have your…

There's also OS X's "cdf" command to cd to the currently open Finder window (I think of "cdf" as shorthand for "cd to finder")

You guys deserve all the best. Will make the donation soon... (student here) I have never came across terminal app that is working with you... urxvt and many other on Linux were always working against me. This one was drag and drop and it works.
