Download watch: iStumbler update

For the nomads out there, there is a new public version of iStumbler, the open source OS X 802.11a/b/g, bluetooth, and mDNS stumbler, out this week.  iStumbler 94 has improved staus messages, more readable log formatting, a smaller memory footprint, and, most importantly, a fix for the nasty memory leak in earlier versions when running under Tiger.

iStumbler isn't a hard-core wardriving tool–you'll probably want KisMac, which handles passive networks better, for that–but it's a great little tool for checking email from the airport or finding a connection to blog from the park on a sunny afternoon. With its built-in bluetooth stumbler, it should be a convenient way to find open printers around the office, too.
