Version 3

See current CHANGELOG.md

Version 2.3 == "3.0.0-betaX"

Developer: Mark Carver Minimum OS X: 10.4 Maximum OS X: Unknown, probably somewhere around 10.8

NOTE: Technically, yes, there are 3.0.0-betaX releases floating out there in the world that start with the major version 3.

Realistically, however, these releases never made their way into any sort of "official stable release" and were truly just alpha level experimentation. The code, features, and options were based entirely on cocoadialog 2 and do not reflect cocoadialog 3 in any way.

So for brevity and to avoid a "What happened to cocoadialog 3?" fiasco, we're simply going to ignore these betas and treat them like a couple minor version bump releases of cocoadialog 2 (e.g. 2.3.x, where "x" represents the "beta version").

1.1.1 (April 26, 2004)

• starting to use x.y.z versioning (instead of x.y)
