Curse Client for Mac v4 reviewed
Curse Client version 4 for Mac has been in open alpha for some time now, and I'm happy to report it's pretty good -- far better than version 3 ever was. I have no idea how the Windows version is, but the Mac one is probably better than WoWMatrix ever was, from a usability standpoint, without that nagging "steals bandwidth from hosting sites" issue. Things I like about it: It's pretty fast. It doesn't lock up for seconds at a time, and it doesn't max out my CPU. It works well with links on the Curse site to install addons; it also makes it pretty easy to get new addons from within the updater. It's easy to update all your addons; one click does it. The changelog for a new version is pretty easy to bring up, in case you're wondering whether to update.
Curse Client v4 now in open beta
Curse has recently released version 4 of their addon client to open beta. This is a major overhaul from their current client both in looks and functionality. It adds features such as change logs, settings backup, addon package creation, and a healthy dose of added security. While it still does have some features only available to premium users, it is much less nagging about the process than their v3 client is known to be. Adamar (PC version) and Kaelten (Mac version as well as the addon OneBag) are the developers behind this new version and have been working with ckknight to help integrate some of its features into WoWAce.com and CurseForge addon development sites (both of which are owned by Curse Gaming). This allows players to report bugs via the new client and have them show up as support tickets in the addon sites for the developers to track and work with. We've put together a couple quick galleries of what both the Mac (thanks Mike!) and PC versions of the new client look like as well as delving into some of the cool new features that are available with premium membership. %Gallery-77063% %Gallery-77062%
