Version 1.4.4 introduces the following new functionality:

• Auto updates - settings made from the registration panel
• Move/resize windows without bringing them to the front!

This release also fixes a few problems:

• Microsoft Word windows would 'jump' a certain number of pixels downward when clicked on while the Zooom modifiers were active
• Path Finder now operates correctly with Zooom
• Fixed a problem where Zooom integration with Microsoft applications would sometimes fail after Zooom was restarted by the installer

Note: version 1.4 contains a new license code because of a price change. Existing license holders should already have received their replacement license codes (free of charge).

Release 1.4 brings the following new features:

• It's possible to set up auto-raise so that it kicks-in only when a modifier key (e.g left shift) is also held down
• You can now choose whether or not you have to hold the left-mouse button down for a move/resize to take place

Changes to existing features:

• The open-panel of the Ignore List now resolves aliases
• Fix minor compatibility issues with Adobe Photoshop CS 2 and PopChar 3.1
• 
  

Also - I believe I've fixed a very vexing problem. In the last few versions I've noticed that the load on the machine can adversely affect the location of the mouse on-screen - regardless of whether or not the modifier keys were being held down or not. This problem would manifest itself as a 'jittery' mouse.

Version 1.4 contains a much 'smarter' event sampling routine that should eliminate this bug entirely.

Release 1.3 is a breakthrough - because now Zooom can do something that none of the other move/resize utilities can do. As of this release, it's now possible to manipulate the following applications:

Microsoft Word 2004
Microsoft Excel 2004
Microsoft MSN Messenger 2004
Microsoft Entourage 2004
Microsoft PowerPoint 2004
TextMate

Please note - Microsoft v.X is not supported by Zooom.
Other additions in this release include:

• You can now put an application into the Ignore-List, and then re-enable only specific functions for Zooom, e.g. Ignore Word, but enable everything except click-zooom. This has been used to good effect for example with Default Folder X.
• 
  
• If the Ignore-List does not allow any actions for an application, the event-filtering is extra-fast, this is useful for games, e.g. World of Warcraft.
• 
  
• The 'Visuals' now include a little red cross, which is only shown when 'Show active command next to mouse cursor' is checked. The cross indicates that the particular function is being Ignored for the current application.
• 
  
• Removed the 'Sparkle' framework for the moment - until I get it functional with .pkgs.
• 
  
• Fixed a bug with the Ignore-List, which sometimes resulted in new items in the Ignore-List being lost.
•
