Delivery Status 4.0 has just been released. Older versions will not automatically notify you of this or any other future updates because of a bug in the version checking. Please make sure to download this update manually, and let your friends know! Sorry for the troubles.

This update is one of the biggest in a while, and I put a lot of work into it. Aside from fixing a lot of services you may have had problems with, I’ve added a lot of new features to make it nicer to use. Adding your own item names and custom Growl icons may seem like small things, but I think they really add a lot. The reworked history also makes it far easier to look up past deliveries.

I hope you like it!

It’s time for a major update to Delivery Status! There are a ton of new features in this version that make it nicer and easier to use. You can see a lot of these things in the screenshot above, like the new history menu, and custom Growl icons. Here’s a full list of what has changed since 3.9:

• The delivery history has been completely redone. Now all of the settings for your past deliveries are remembered, not just the tracking number!
• You can now add a custom item name for any delivery type! Even better this item name is listed in the history to help you find past deliveries easier
• There is now a “Clear History” option at the bottom of the history menu
• If you use the magnified view, Delivery Status will now remember this the next time you open a new widget
• Custom Growl icons are now displayed to indicate the delivery company
• Growl notifications are no longer displayed right after you’ve edited your settings or if you update manually, since you’re already looking at the results
• Upgraded to Growl framework 1.1.2
• DHL Germany deliveries will now show the information in the process (“Vorgang”) field
• Improved tracking results for Amazon orders
• Fixed UPS
• Fixed FedEx SmartPost (Customer ID is no longer required for FedEx SmartPost shipments)
• Fixed Royal Mail
• Fixed Google Checkout (again, twice!)
• Fixed minor problems with USPS tracking
• Fixed problems with the installer on certain computers
• Fixed version checking in Leopard (unfortunately Leopard users with older versions will not be notified of any updates, so please help spread the word!)
• Added high resolution icons for Leopard
• A simple donation request is now displayed after a shipment has been delivered

New in beta 7:

• Updated translations, and fixed some cases where the delivery company text would not get translated
• The correct tooltip will now display when you hold your mouse over the History button
• Fixed a problem where Growl notifications may not have displayed when they should
• Fixed some display problems in Tiger

New in beta 8:

• Removed some debug code that resulted in a lot of useless console messages for English users

New in beta 9:

• Improvements to Japanese and Italian translations

Holy crap that’s a lot of stuff.

Update: This beta is now over, and 4.0 has been released. Thanks everyone for all of your help!

I didn’t work on this site myself, but I have to mention my brother’s new project, Tiny Planet Photography. He takes beautiful photographs, mixes them up with some really clever software, and the results are just fascinating to look at. The Dragon House (above) taken in Potsdam, Germany is one of my favorites, but there are a bunch of good ones worth taking a look at. I think I may have to order a print for myself!
