OSX Tattoo updated to 1.0.1

Okay, the two biggest problems have now been stomped. We’ve revved the OSX side of Tattoo to 1.0.1 to match the Windows side. This fix is primarily meant for users of PPC (G4 and G5) Macs, and it fixes a problem those users were having with the AU not validating, and the VST causing crashes.

If you’re an Intel Mac user and you aren’t experiencing any issues, there is no need to install this update.

In related news, it appears that all our products work fine in Logic 9.1 via the 32-bit bridge. We therefore officially add this host to our supported hosts. We will port the Mac side of things to 64-bit at the same time we do the Windows side. We have no timeline for that, except to say that it is In The Not-Too-Distant Future. We will almost certainly cease support for PPC Macs when we rev the products, and only offer 32- and 64-bit Intel versions, but we need to have further discussions before we commit to that course of action.

I will say that while the better G5 machines can certainly hang with the lowest Intel machines, and are still viable platforms for music creation, we are a small company, and thus we have to triage, and it is increasingly obvious that 64-bit plug-ins are more important to the consumer base than PPC-based plug-ins.
