Pixelmator 1.1.2 Release Notes

Pixelmator icon

I launched Pixelmator today, and it notified me that there’s an update available. I told it to download the update, and it did. After it finished downloading, it prompted me to update and relaunch the apps. So I did. For some reasons, the update failed and rendered the apps unusable. I downloaded the latest version off Pixelmator web-site and replace the apps in my Applications folder. I noticed earlier that the release notes said that Pixelmator 1.1.2 is dated January 22, 2008. Interesting since I previously I downloaded Pixelmator sometimes in February. Anyway, the release notes can be found here: http://www.pixelmator.com/support/updates/
