iVI 3.0 Release Notes


Important - iVI 3.0 is for OS X 10.6 and OS X 10.7 only. OS X 10.5 users should not upgrade.
Xcode no longer includes support for OS X 10.5 so it's no longer possible for us to continue to support it in new versions of iVI. We will continue to maintain iVI 2.6 so OS X 10.5 users can continue to use iVI.

Important - It was necessary to change the location of iVI's preferences in order to support Lion. Preferences and rules will not be migrated to 3.0 and will need to be reentered. The license key will also need to be reentered.
