Better late than never, Paparazzi! 0.4.3 has been released. This version is a universal binary (!!) and disables the Web cache completely.
If you notice Paparazzi! telling you about version 0.4.3 even though you’re running it, please re-download it. Xcode refused to use the newer Info.plist until I cleaned and rebuilt.

My MacBook Pro has shipped, so expect a Universal Binary build of Paparazzi! early next week!

Paparazzi! 0.4.2 released. This update fixes an crash that could occur when a Safari bookmak item had no “title” element in the bookmarks file, allows capturing of pages with “bad” certificates, and displays bookmarks’ URLs when their menu items are hovered over.
P.S.: You might notice that the changelog on MacUpdate is slightly different from the one on the site and on the .dmg. This is because I’m a perfectionist, and moved the “bad certificates” changelog entry from “Fixes” to “New Features” at the last minute.

I’ve noticed on a few Japanese sites that the icons in the Preferences window’s toolbar are reversed (the order should be “General” followed by “Size Presets”). If anyone has any information about why this is happening, please let me know.
Update: I’ve got it sorted; expect 0.4.1 within the next day or so. It figures that I’d figure it out as soon as I posted this…

Paparazzi! 0.4.1 released. This minor update fixes an ordering bug in the Preferences window’s toolbar, adds a system service, and treats strings starting with “/” or “~” as file paths.

Paparazzi! 0.4 has been released! This version includes preliminary AppleScript support and update checking. Grab it now, or see the changelog for more details!
Here’s a quick script to get you started!
tell application "Paparazzi!" capture "http://www.google.com/" repeat while busy delay 1 end repeat save in POSIX file "/Users/foo/Desktop/google.png" as PNG with icon end tell
(Copy script to Script Editor.)
(Man, I hope I didn’t break anything.)

Paparazzi! 0.4 is seriously almost ready this time. I mean it! The update checking won’t be automatic until 0.5, as I haven’t worked on that much lately, but people neeeed the (admittedly minimal) AppleScript stuff, I think.
For 0.5 I’m going to rework the interface a bit, flesh out the AppleScript support, and add some actual documentation! Yay! Also, if all goes well it will be a Universal Binary! Huzzah! Well…hopefully.

I've disabled remote image hotlinking on for the Paparazzi! screenshots; too many people haven't been listening to my nice message at the top of the screenshots page.

Progress on 0.4 is comming along slowly but surely. Basic capture/save AppleScript support is done, as is implementation of a user style sheet. I’d like to give people access to the live Web view in the main window so they can capture at a specific moment or access sites behind a login/password, but I’m not quite sure how to go about that without wrecking the UI already there.
Speaking of UI, I really need to clean up the button layout quite a bit…
For interested parties, I've also moved the capture code to a separate object in preparation for a built-in batch window.
Finally, I've been getting a lot of reports of backgrounds not saving in exported PDFs, which is entirely my fault. I failed to remember that the WebPreferences settings are saved in the user defaults files (oops!). This can be corrected in the interim by opening a terminal session and typing defaults write org.derailer.Paparazzi\! WebKitShouldPrintBackgroundsPreferenceKey -bool true (all one line) and pressing return.

I’m currently redirecting all requests for the 0.2.3 .dmg that come from macworld.com to the current version, as the direct download links there point to the old one (and I've gotten a few e-mails wondering where some of the new features are ;) ).
