Added a volume selector for the feedback sound - you can now play it at one of three volumes
improved the reliability of the feedback sound
Changed the look of the register sheet in the preference pane and the reminder that appears beside the cursor.
Changed the address of the registration page.
LazyMouse was logging some unnecessary things in the Console. This has been fixed.

2.0.1 8/3/2007

Some users were experiencing a fairly regular, apparently random crash with LazyMouse 2.0. This bug should now be fixed.
added V2C to the default exclusion list
a few more memory leaks fixed
updated LazyMouse's icon

2.0 8/1/2007

LazyMouse can now snap the cursor back to the place it was before a dialog appeared when you dismiss the dialog.
You can now choose to automatically snap to the Alternate button (usually "Cancel" or "No") instead of the default button.
Sound feedback when the cursor is moved - a little twang sound gets played whenever the cursor is moved, off by default.
Improved Preference Pane UI
Many memory leak fixes
A serious architecture switch
Reduced CPU load
Some code was possibly not intel-safe, though it never caused a problem - fixed
LazyMouse will now turn itself off when a new version is installed - this didn't used to happen, so people who upgraded LazyMouse while it was on would end up still running the old background application until the next time they toggled or restarted LazyMouse. This may not work until the next minor upgrade, though.
Much different register reminder - only appears when LazyMouse does its thing - much smaller and less distracting.
When instructing the user to turn on access for assistive devices, LazyMouse now brings up a drawer that acts as a step-by-step tutor.
There was a strange bug in Garageband where the cursor would snap to a place on the window where there was no button. This has been handled.
Fixed some obscure crashing bugs
updated links to point to old-jewel.com rather than oldjewelsoftware.com

1.1.3 6/28/2006

1.1.2 2/25/2006

1.1.1 7/13/2005

1.1 7/4/2005

LazyMouse will no longer snap the cursor if the user is already moving the mouse or if the mouse button is down.
LazyMouse now understands that if you're already using the mouse, then it should let you decide where it should go.
Before, there was a slight delay that prevented the user from clicking immediately after LazyMouse had moved the mouse cursor. This delay lasted about 1/5 of a second. It has been eliminated.
added an exemption list: If you do not want LazyMouse to work for a given application, then read the read me file to learn how to disable LazyMouse on an application-by-application basis. The next version of LazyMouse will have a better user interface for this.
fixed an incompatibility with the Finder in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger where Lazymouse would sometimes not snap to the default button for the Empty Trash dialog (this enhancement may help other instances where LazyMouse wasn't recognizing new dialog boxes as well.
much redesign under the hood
