Thanks Matt, well spotted. It has been corrected in the full 1.0.6 release.
BTW, 64-bit version coming anytime soon?
Hi dfile, version 1.0.6 of Viscosity has 64 bit kernel support under Snow Leopard. However the Viscosity application itself is still 32 bit, and will probably be that way for a while (as the version of Python we use is 32 bit only). However it's unlikely you'd see any performance benefit from a 64 bit version, as Viscosity isn't all that CPU intensive (most of the time it should be sitting at 0% CPU usage).

Cheers,
James

The latest beta, version 1.0.8b2 as quoted above, is functioning normally thus far upon my initial testing. I was able to successfully access the internal network of each configured VPN connection without any visible issues nor any other difficulty related to updating.

Thank you for the timely (beta) updates. :)

Thank you for the 1.2 beta/prerelease; I'm looking forward to the enhancements added in this version. :D

Using Viscosity version 1.2b3 I am experiencing the following persistent issue:
  • Upon clicking the Viscosity menu bar icon there is no visible response; no drop-down menu is displayed.
The aforementioned symptom was experienced after performing the following steps:
  • Upgrade Viscosity:
    • Quit currently running instance of Viscosity
    • Remove old Viscosity.app from ~/Applications/
    • Install new Viscosity.app into ~/Applications/
  • Start/Run Viscosity.app
  • Click the Viscosity menu bar icon
  • Observe that my two (2) preexisting VPN connections (not actively connected) now have one of them duplicated, for a total of three (3) VPN connections; the duplicated entry appears to be of the last VPN connection that was used.
  • Open Viscosity Preferences
  • Create one (1) connection folder
  • Drag-and-drop to move two (2) unique entries of the three (3) total connections into the new folder, where 2 out of 3 connections are now in a submenu, leaving only a duplicate entry at the original "root" folder level that is not in a submenu.
  • Attempt to delete what appeared to be the duplicate entry from the "root" folder level, that is, keep only the two (2) unique connections that are organized into a subfolder (submenu).
  • Observe Viscosity crash upon attempting to delete the duplicate entry.
  • Observe the following detail logged:
