Getting closer to an actual release. So far, testing has not revealed any app-breaking bug. Various improvements have been made from testing in this version and is mostly stable. By the end of next week, if the build is proven to be stable enough, I will release it to the App store. Public testing once approved and released to the app store will be closed to the public. The last beta build will remain operable until it expires once the final version is released.

The developer team that is developing the official API have closed off the beta. Before, the official API is in a closed beta. The latest update is follows:

I have an update for you all regarding the closed beta we have been running up until now.

Unfortunately, when we opened the beta we made an error in the internal release process, which means we will have to close off the beta for a time. We are currently working on redoing the release process and are trying to have the API’s closed beta out again as soon as possible.

Sorry for the this coming up out of the blue

For now, please use the stable release until  the official API is opened up again.

In addition, I will be redoing the donation licensing system for MAL Updater OS X since there have been trouble with license generation. I will be changing it so that online verification will not be required. Existing users who already have a license will be able to get a new license code for free. More details soon.

This release adds stream detection support for VRV.co (Crunchyroll) and Hidive.
