Coda 1.0.4 October 12, 2007

After a delay of Copland-like proportions, Panic has released an update to Coda. According to Steven Frank, Coda 1.0.4 “concentrates mainly on the remaining 1.0 bugs, and some important Leopard compatibility issues.

Brian Warren posted his own impressions of Coda afterusing it pretty heavily for a while. He notes:
