Belmont CA USA - Proteron LLC today announced an update to its most popular software products for Mac OS X, namely, the utility and launching application called MaxMenus. The new version 1.5.1 addresses several compatibility issues with Apple's Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
Of significant note, this release allows Proteron's primary product to integrate with Apple's latest operating system. Although the recently released operating system was panned by IDG writers Tom Henderson and Rand Dvorak in Indianapolis as "not worth the effort", Proteron is eager to acknowledge that MacOSX 0.5 Leopard is indeed very much worth the effort and represents a major step forward for Apple.
The release of MaxMenus 1.5.1 is for compatibility purposes primarily and is available immediately in download form at no cost to registered users of the software. For non-registered users, a 30 day trial version of the preference pane is the default configuration.
