Kaleidoscope 2.4 With Xcode Debugger Integration and More prMac
[ad_1]
[prMac.com] Millstatt, Austria – After recently acquiring the long time Mac app Kaleidoscope, we released a few updates focused on performance improvements and memory usage. Today we are pleased to release our first new feature: The Xcode Debugger Integration, which allows developers to compare debug text and image output, enabling them to iterate over common development tasks quickly.
Version 2.4 is a free update for all existing version 2 customers. The 14-day free trial period has been reset for version 2.4. Users who tested Kaleidoscope in the past can give the new version a try.
“While developing our RTF parser, the need arrived to quickly compare the output of our implementation with the reference output. This became so essential to our Xcode workflow that we had to add it as the first new feature after taking over the development of Kaleidoscope in late 2020”, says Christopher Atlan of Letter Opener GmbH.
“We are proud of how the feature turned out. It allows sending any debugger output from Xcode, text or graphics, to Kaleidoscope for visual comparison. The driving force behind this is the ksdiff command-line tool, which gained two great new features as part of the process: one is the ability to send content to a specific Kaleidoscope window. The second one is the ability to pipe content into it. This enables unlimited new use cases for Unix aficionados.” says Florian Albrecht of Letter Opener GmbH.
“Now with performance and memory issues fixed, we are looking forward to taking on the challenge of adopting Dark Mode and Apple silicon for this once great app.” adds Christopher Atlan of Letter Opener GmbH.
