   DEVONagent Lite, Express, and Pro 3.3

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   DEVONtechnologies has updated its three editions of [1]DEVONagent
   (Lite, Express, and Pro), adding compatibility with OS X 10.8 Mountain
   Lion to the trio of research assistant apps. In particular, DEVONagent
   Pro now supports Notification Center (which can inform you when a
   lengthy search is completed) and Sharing services. Aside from Mountain
   Lion compatibility, version 3.3 of DEVONagent Pro and Express add
   64-bit support (for result set sizes bound only by the amount of
   available RAM and performance of your Mac) and improve the Tube scanner
   with an updated pre-made Marketing search set to help you build your
   own search sets. All three titles offer an improved Google Scholar
   plug-in for searching legal opinions and journals, plus add
   compatibility with Text Expander and a French localization. Finally,
   all three editions now require Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or later.

   The Mac App Store variants of DEVONagent [2]Lite, [3]Express, and
   [4]Pro are now sandboxed. For DEVONagent Pro, that means the app no
   longer sets Spotlight comments for downloaded files or includes the
   'Convert Results to RSS Feed' action script. However, none of the
   flavors of DEVONagent were updated to version 3.3 as of this writing.
   (All updates are free. DEVONagent Lite, free, 3.3 MB, [5]release notes;
   DEVONagent Express, $4.95 new, 7.0 MB, [6]release notes; DEVONagent
   Pro, $49.95 new, 19.6 MB, [7]release notes)
