Screenhero Blog Screenhero 2.0 Pre-Launch

We've been hard at work on Screenhero v2.0 for many months now, and many of you have been amazing beta users, helping make it ready for primetime. As it happens, our computers decided today was primetime - and we inadvertently released v2.0 to all Mac users earlier this morning. We are very sorry if that update has affected you negatively - but we hope that with more information and hard work on our part, we can make this a net positive.The good news is that Screenhero v2.0 contains one epic feature: multi-party screen sharing + multi-party voice calls! To use it, make sure everyone on your team is on v2.0, and then either click on each contact you want to start a screen share / call with, or start with one person and add every additional person as needed.We're going to write a bigger post on what's included in v2.0 soon, but for now here are the updates from earlier on this morning:Update (Feb 6, 1:38PM PST): All is well in the kingdom. The Mac release + dev branches have been updated to v2.0.0.1 (fixes the 'can't screen share' bug too) - 'check for updates' should now do the right thing, so you don't need to re-download from the website anymore. Windows release/dev are also updated (v2.0.0.0). Whew! Sorry about that, everyone, but everything should be back to normal now (and with group screen sharing + calls, better than before).Also, we will revisit our processes to try our best to make sure this never happens again.Update (Feb 6, 1:05PM PST): The Mac release + dev branches have been updated to v2.0.0.1 (fixes the 'can't screen share' bug too) - 'check for updates' should now do the right thing, so you don't need to re-download from the website anymore. Windows release/dev are still pending (our update process hit a snag).Update (Feb 6, 12:58PM PST): The Mac release branch has been updated, but both Mac dev and Windows release/dev are still pending (our update process hit a snag). Also, on Mac v2.0.0.0, there is still a bug where you cannot share your screen after one successful screen share. We are working on it. For now, the only workaround is to restart Screenhero for your next screen share.Update (Feb 6, 12:21PM PST): The Mac release branch has been updated, while the dev branch is pending (10 mins away). If you urgently need Screenhero to work on a Mac, but were on the beta, download the binaries from https://screenhero.com/download.html, and all should be well.Update (Feb 6, 12:01PM PST): We are aware of the bug with Mac screen sharing, and the update is going live imminently (by 12:25PM PST), as is the Windows update.
