Konfabulator 2 makes its appearance

For the last ten days, the folks at Konfabulator have been teasing us with hints about the new edition of the software. Today, they unveiled it. Konfabulator:2 is available for download and is Mac OS X Tiger compatible. What remains to be seen, of course, is whether the improvements made to K:2′s engine will be sufficient to give it the advantage in the widget war between it and Apple’s own Dashboard.

The VersionTracker write-up reads:

This release focuses on giving both end users and Widget authors far more control over their Widgets. This is achieved by providing basic customization features in our default Widgets and expanding the Konfabulator engine itself to do some really amazing things. For example, Widgets can now have multiple windows. This allows for Widgets to show their own windows and bezels in the style of the Widget, and allows for more complex, application-like Widgets. Add to that custom context menu support, colorization features, expanded preferences, and dozens of additional developers features, and you’ve got the most powerful cross-platform Widget engine on the planet.
