From the latest newsletter that was just sent out - information on our smoking hot OS X Lion promo:
When Apple releases a new version of Mac OS X, I am like a child on Christmas. I shout: “Lion, man! Lion!” and can’t wait to install it (http://boinx.com/backstage/team/). I feel as though I myself turn into a lion, living on the vast plains of opportunity, waiting to devour all the goodies coming my way!
Of course, there are also always some not so pleasant surprises as well: required updates for some apps are not yet available and if they are, some bugs have not yet been discovered and fixed. But that, my friends, is the nature of progress.
Beginning today, we will put our apps on sale exclusively at the Mac App Store at insanely low prices, for example, Mouseposé and PhotoPresenter will start at US $0.99! (See the whole product line at http://bit.ly/o1OAQK ). Each day until Lion ships, we will increase the price by one tier until we return to the normal pricing or Lion ships.
State of the Union
For the Boinx engineering team, a new system release means an insane amount of work in a very short time as some of our apps require updates. Since we do not know when Lion will ship, we cannot say if the updates will be ready in time. We are committed to providing you with the necessary updates asap, but for now, we recommend that you stick with Mac OS X 10.6.x for your professional workflows.
Here is the score card for Lion compatibility of our apps. All of these updates will be free of charge from the Mac App Store automatically and from our download page when they become available.

iStopMotion 2.8.1
Update required for DSLRs to work. Everything else appears to work fine.
With Mac OS X 10.6.8, the support for DSLR cameras (that we worked very hard to fix when it broke with 10.6.7) broke again and the same issue remains for OS X 10.7 Lion. Until the update is ready, we recommend to use Mac OS X 10.6.7 and iStopMotion 2.8.1 if you want to use a DSLR to shoot your stop motion movies. -
BoinxTV 1.8.1
Update required for OS X Lion.
BoinxTV is most affected by changes in OS X 10.7 Lion so the update will take a while. Please stick with Mac OS X 10.6.7 until the update becomes available. As soon as we have fixed the issues, we will make a beta version available through our website. -
FotoMagico 3.8
Appears to work fine with OS X Lion.
At this time, there are no severe issues known that affect FotoMagico 3.8 with OS X 10.7 Lion. A small update with cosmetic fixes is in the works. -
PhotoPresenter 4.1.2
Update required for OS X Lion.
The issues we discovered are already fixed and we are preparing a new release. -
Mouseposé 3.2.1
Minor issues with OS X Lion.
Generally, Mouseposé works on Lion. We are working on a new release fixing some minor issues we’ve discovered with the new features such as full screen mode and Launchpad.
As you can see, we are super excited about OS X Lion and can’t wait to take advantage of all the new capabilities.
Hakuna Matata!
Your Boinx Software Team
P.S. This Forum is definitely lacking a Lion (and kitten) smiley, so here is an Ape instead:
