That's right, let's party! You provide the beer, I'll provide the party. Yesterday DisplayFusion passed 10,000 downloads, less than 1 month since it's release in late August. Hurray! Thanks to everyone who helped with testing, and to everyone who has submitted feedback. You've all helped shape DisplayFusion into what it is today.
On that happy note, I'm pleased to announce the latest version, 1.4. This new version fixes some important bugs that have popped up and adds some new features. Here is an abbreviated list of list of changes:

A couple of months ago I was approached by someone at CHIP magazine in Germany, wondering if they can include iTunes Sync in their October 2007 issue. Of course I said yes. Well, the magazine is out, and sure enough, it's right there on the DVD included with the magazine!
iTunes Sync has been linked to many times, but this is the first time I have seen it in writing... and I've got to say, it feels pretty good. Apparently CHIP magazine has 1.4 million subscribers as well, so what a great feeling this is. Thanks to everyone who helped test iTunes Sync, and to everyone who submitted bugs and feature requests. And an especially big thanks to my team of translators who localized iTunes Sync into German and Spanish. Even though the localized version (v1.5) wasn't included with the magazine, anyone that installs the copy from the magazine will be prompted to update to the version that includes localization.
Also, I'd like to thank CHIP magazine for sending me a copy of this months issue. I can't make out what the write-up about iTunes Sync says exactly, but I ran it through Google Translate and it seems to be positive.
Thanks Everyone!
I have built and released the latest version of DisplayFusion, version 1.3. This updated release contains a few quick fixes, and adds some extra functionality:
For the complete list change of changes take a look at the Change Log.
iTunes Sync v1.5 has just been released onto that wild party known as the internet... and it's the biggest release to date. It includes a whole heap of changes, including some exciting new additions. Let's jump right in and starting chatting about the biggest change of all: localization. With some fantastic help from 6 fearless volunteers we have localized iTunes Sync into these 3 languages:
Also included in the Change Log are these exciting additions:
This is only about half of all the changes, fixes and additions. If you want to see everything that has changed please check out the complete Change Log.

I have released a quick update to DisplayFusion tonight that corrects a couple of smalls bugs. The first fix helps people who had their wallpaper offset incorrectly, causing gaps in the wallpaper. The second was something I forgot to include in the initial release, proxy settings for internet access (auto-update, Flickr images... etc). Well, you can now configure a proxy server in the "Settings" window.

What a journey it has been localizing iTunes Sync for different languages. It was originally built with only English in mind, but with the intent of eventually supporting other languages. What a surprise I got when I received the resource files for Spanish and German. Many of the words and phrases were longer than the English equivalents and the interface could no longer fit many of the labels or buttons. As a result, I was forced to change the layout quite considerably on many of the windows, including the Sync and Confirm Sync windows. I think the new layout is more concise and much easier to follow, so it has worked out for the best. I have learned quite a bit while localizing iTunes Sync, things I never could have learned from a book or in a classroom. It has been an excellent learning experience and I can't wait to get iTunes Sync v1.5 out the door so that everyone can benefit. I want to give a big shout out to everyone who has helped so far with the translations, and what better way then with the new "About" screen.
iTunes Sync v1.5 is coming very soon...
I'm very happy to announce the release of DisplayFusion v1.2 today! This new version fixes some significant bugs, including one related to people with quad monitors (or more). A huge thanks to Moshe from the forums for helping me squish this bug. Some other notable fixes include a fix for Office 2007 maximized window dragging and a few fixes and speed-ups for the Flickr image integration.
You can find the complete change log here if you want more details. Anyone currently using DisplayFusion is encouraged to upgrade to the latest version, and new people are invited to take it for a test drive.
I'm excited to announce the release of DisplayFusion v1.1! This new version fixes a few bugs, and introduces a cool new feature as well: integrated Flickr searching! When you are selecting an image to apply to each monitor as your wallpaper, just click the "Load from Flickr" button, and you have access to every image on Flickr, right at your fingertips. Just search using keywords, or list all images from a specific person if you know their name or email address.

I'd like to introduce you to the newest member in the Binary Fortress family, DisplayFusion. DisplayFusion is a fantastic (and free) new application that can make your dual monitor (or triple monitor or more) life much, much easier! From allowing you to use a different wallpaper on each monitor, to providing hotkeys for managing your application windows. Here are just a few of the things you can do with DisplayFusion:
I'd like to give a big thanks to Chris Ysebert and Keith Lammers for their help with testing, tweaking and general polishing.
