Maintenance Release for Merlin Server

Today we have released a very important update for Merlin Server.

It is highly recommended for all Merlin Server users, because we experienced an issue with the developer certificate, introduced in Merlin Server 2.9.

Important: Please install it using these steps:

  1. Switch off the current version of Merlin Server
  2. Open the Keychain Access (in /Applications/Utilities)
  3. Search for “net.projectwizards”, it should result only in one line “net.projectwizards.MerlinProjectServer”
  4. Delete this line
  5. Download Merlin Server and double click the pref pane icon
  6. Install it over your former Merlin Server (click on replace)
  7. Quit and restart the System Preferences

Merlin 2.9 update with support for OS X 10.8

How to update Merlin
How to update Merlin Server

    • Merlin and Merlin Server support new Gatekeeper and start on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion as identified software.

With Mountain Lion Apple introduces a new technology called “Gatekeeper”. Gatekeeper helps protect you from downloading and installing malicious software on your Mac, no matter where your apps come from. And it gives you even more control over which apps you install. With the standard option Gatekeeper installs only apps from the Mac App Store and apps from identified developers. Merlin and Merlin Server are now signed by ProjectWizards as an indentified developer and working with the Gatekeeper default option under OS X Mountain Lion.

We highly recommend users of OS X Mountain Lion to install this update.

Updating existing installations of Merlin Server: The formerly contained certificate is now replaced by the new one verified by Apple. Therefore the very first time you start Merlin Server, you will be asked to allow accessing Keychain for the existing certificate to be replaced. Please click on “Allow always”.
