The development of Ascension is making great progress. While searching for an easy way to achieve advanced hyperlink detection, I discovered the AutoHyperlinks framework. It is part of the Adium project, but (unlike Adium) BSD-licensed. This allows usage even for commercial applications. I created a slightly modified lightweight variant of the framework, which I added to Ascension’s build phase. Cocoa coders should really take a look, the detection capabilities are awesome and implementation is quite easy.

One will explain how to write a command line utility in portable C and the usage of Mac OS X as cross-compilation platform, I mentioned this in an earlier post. There are some great things on the way, can you feel it in the air?
