File Buddy X 7.0b8 is another OS X beta version of this desktop and file/folder editing tool. It has several bug fixes.

RandomBackground 1.4.1 changes the desktop picture at each login. The new version fixes some more bugs.

FontChecker X 10.1.6 is a font inspection utility with unique features. FontChecker turns each font into a character palette. FontChecker shows you what key code you need to enter to reach the character but goes one step further. Simply drag the desired character or the HTML character code from your FontChecker palette directly into your document. The update now works in OS X 10.1.

MoosePad X 10.1.5 is a replacement for Apple's Note Pad and unlike Stickies does not require that you keep all of your notes open. MoosePad also supports Speech and Multiple Memo Databases. The update now works in OS X 10.1.

Calendar2000 X 10.1.9 is a rules based calendar that begins with the year 1 and goes to 99999 and calculates Moon Phases, shows equivalent Jewish, Islamic, Julian dates, has 20 built-in calendar Reform definitions, understands, calculates and automatically displays religious holidays such as Lent, Easter, Passover, Rosh Hashannah. The update now works in OS X 10.1.

MooseCalc X 10.1.6 is a multifunction calculator that will allow addition and subtraction of dates among its other features. The update now works in OS X 10.1.

divx for X 1.1.2 is a QuickTime divx/3ivx component. With this update, it should run correctly (with speed) in OS X 10.1 - and probably with more speed on 10.0.4 machines.
