Last week we have tamed the Mountain Lion with DEVONthink and DEVONnote 2.4, this week it’s the turn of DEVONagent to pass the Gatekeeper. That being not enough, version 3.3 of DEVONagent Pro carries support for Notification Center and the new Sharing Services in its bag.

And, of course, we have improved many other details and fixed bugs. (more)
