TidBITS#1093/12-Sep-2011

For those still using Eudora, Adam has finally finished his detailed look at how to convert email from Eudora to, well, something else (that’s part of the question). He also warns about how Lion’s Versions technology can fail silently if you’re saving on a network volume or a USB flash drive not formatted as HFS+ (which is probably most of them). Also this week, if you’re having problems with hibernation mode in a MacBook using an OWC solid-state drive, OWC now has a firmware updater you can use to fix the problems. Notable software releases this week include 1Password 3.9 and 3.8.5, Security Update 2011-005, Firefox 6.0.2, and Parallels Desktop 7.
