Status of Airlock
As you may have noticed, Airlock releases have stalled over the past months, along with emails and support questions going unanswered. I wanted to take this chance to explain what's been going on, and where Airlock is headed.
First off, my name's David and I'm the sole developer of Airlock. This project has been my baby for the last two years, during which time I've spent countless hours obsessing over every detail of the project's code, user interface and website. Up until several months ago, I did my best to improve the quality of Airlock, but eventually became drained of my motivation due to Bluetooth issues that I felt powerless to fix.
The fact is that Bluetooth 2.1 and its implementation on Macs isn't designed for proximity detection, and a good deal of the Airlock codebase is written to workaround that. Unfortunately, such workarounds can only go so far; to truly fix some of the issues experienced with Airlock, updates to the Bluetooth frameworks and firmware are necessary.
I'm optimistic that Apple will release a Bluetooth update eventually, but after taking the last few months off to recharge, I'm continuing where I left off. My primary goals at the moment are investigating new Bluetooth workarounds to improve Airlock's reliability, fixing other non-Bluetooth-related bugs, and lastly adding new features.
To everyone who has requested support or sent me an email over the past months: I sincerely apologize for my lack of regard. You can expect a response within the next few days.
Finally, if anyone at Apple happens to be reading, it would mean the world to this small-time developer to have bugs #7455732 and #8255287 fixed.
Thanks for your understanding, and I look forward to releasing new and improved versions of Airlock.
David
