Developers are starting to roll out updates to their Mac apps aimed at supporting Apple's latest MacBook Pro with Retina Display, with two such welcome arrivals this past weekend alone.
Reeder for Mac 1.1.7 hit the Mac App Store on Saturday, updating its graphics for the Retina Display. As existing users can attest to, text looked quite blurry on the MacBook Pro with Retina Display, so the update likely made the weekend for them. The update also addressed a Twitter sharing issue that had cropped up with the previous version.
Meanwhile, open-source media player VLC hit version 2.0.2 which sounds like a minor update, but the developers note that the release "fixes a couple of hundred bugs" while also fixing "a lot of regressions of the 2.0.x branch" of the software.
Of course, Retina Display support is at the top of that list for MacBook Pro with Retina Display users, but VLC 2.0.2 "Twoflower" also improves the user interface to be on-par with the classic VLC many users remember, while offering better performance and removing the font cache that was causing slowdowns for many.
There's a seriously long list of fixes for VLC 2.0.2, so it's worth a peek at the release notes while downloading, but you can be assured there's pretty much something for everyone.
Both app updates are available now; Reeder for Mac is available from the Mac App Store as a free update for existing users ($4.99 for new customers), while VLC can be downloaded directly from the VideoLAN website.
