1999 News - 2000 News - 2001 News - 2002 News - 2003 News - 2004 News 25 October 2007 ConverTable Units 2.8 is now available. With ConverTable Units 2.8, it's now possible to include non-Roman characters (Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Korean, or Russian, for instance) in plug-ins. But even in English, this change means that plug-ins can now include superscripts, subscripts, and more special symbols. To create these new plug-ins, get Plug In Units Editor 0.8, also available today (see below). ConverTable Units 2.8 remains compatible with all existing plug-ins; they do not need to be updated to use with this new version. Many of the included plug-ins have been updated to take advantage of the new format. Several other refinements are also included; including understanding more number formats for input. ConverTable Units 2.8 is a Universal application for both PowerPC and Intel-based Macintosh computers. ConverTable Units 2.8 can be registered for $15. Upgrades from earlier versions are free. ConverTable Units 2.8 requires Mac OS X 10.3 or later. Download ConverTable Units 2.8 today! 25 October 2007 ConverTable Units Plug-In Units Editor 0.8 is now available. As noted above, ConverTable Units 2.8 supports non-Roman text in plug-ins. To make these plug-ins, you need a new version of the Plug-In Units Editor. (Note that if for some reason you need to make plug-ins which are compatible with ConverTable Units 1.5 - 2.7, you'll need to get the old Plug-In Units Editor 0.7 which is available here.) The ConverTable Units Plug-In Units Editor 0.8 is a Universal application for both PowerPC and Intel-based Macintosh computers and Mac OS X 10.3 or later, and is free (though it's not much use without registering ConverTable Units).

In other words, new features include: new tables, resizable tables, savable charts and tables, and much more. We feel that Periodic Table 4 is truly now a great Windows application. Periodic Table 4 can be registered for $20. Crossgrades are available if you have registered the Macintosh edition and wish to add a license for the Windows edition. Periodic Table 4.0.3 for Windows XP requires Windows XP or later (Service Pack 2 or later). Download Periodic Table 4.0.3 today! 28 August 2006 Synergy Creations' Periodic Table 4.0.4 is now available. Synergy Creations' Periodic Table 4.0.4 brings a number of improvements to the software, and is recommended for all users. One change is the updating of atomic weights (mean relative atomic masses) to the IUPAC 2005 standard. In most of the 16 non-superheavy elements which have updated values, the changes in weights impact the last decimal place of accuracy--you aren't going to get any general chem questions wrong using the old values! Other changes occur in some of the superheavy elements, where the mass number of the most stable isotope is by tradition the mass listed, rather than an average mass. As some of these superheavy elements are known from only a handful of short-lived atoms in accelerators, it is unsurprising that the longest-lived isotope may change a bit as our knowledge increases. Finally, you can now optionally display the atomic masses on the element information window with the standard uncertainty of the least significant digit (this is a preference under the "Units" tab). Periodic Table 4 can be registered for $20. Upgrades from versions prior to 4.0 are $15. Periodic Table 4.0.4 requires Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later (10.3 or later recommended). Download Periodic Table 4.0.4 today! 18 August 2006 ChemDuet 1.4 is now available. ChemDuet 1.4 replaces periodicPod (see next item). The install process now provides better progress feedback, and installation from a Mac to a Windows-formatted iPod (now the default in new iPods) is much faster. ChemDuet requires any recent iPod with a screen (iPod video, iPod nano, iPod mini, iPod photo, or 3rd, 4th Generation iPod, etc.) Installers for Mac OS X and Windows XP are available. You can register ChemDuet for only $12 to enable all the features. 18 August 2006 ChemDuet is the new name for the software formerly called periodicPod. Upgrading to ChemDuet is free for everyone who has registered periodicPod. We hope you like the new name. The name change is to avoid potential name conflicts with a company who makes popular music players. The new name also emphasizes better that ChemDuet is software for chemistry. 6 June 2006 Printable Periodic Table PDFs are now available.

25 January 2006 The First Intel Macs were recently introduced by Apple, who have announced their intention to transition from PowerPC to Intel processors in Mac computers. The Intel-based Macs will run Mac OS X software compiled for PowerPC Macs, such as our current Mac OS X software. We do plan to produce "Intel-native" versions of our Mac OS X software. However, as our software applications are generally not processor-intensive, there is no reason to wait for these versions--the current PowerPC Mac OS X applications offered by Synergy Creations should run fine on the new Intel Macs.
