How to update Merlin Server
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”.

Publishing a project in Merlin for Mac OS X so it can be accessed from an iPhone is quite simple. Just click on the “Publishing” icon, select the “iPhone” tab, and click on the “Start” button. From within a local network, this project can be immediately discovered and opened using Merlin iPhone via Bonjour. But what about accessing a project file from outside a local network?

Last night I had the opportunity to demonstrate Merlin on the Mac and unveil Merlin iPhone at the Apple Store in London, Regent Street

As the 5pm presentation start time approached, seating was nearing capacity and set-up had gone without a hitch. I just wish I could say the same about the rest of my day leading to the presentation. Those who follow me on Twitter (fblome) know my travails all too well; my flight to London was first delayed due to technical issues, and then cancelled altogether. End result? I dashed back into my car and drove from Münster to Düsseldorf to catch another flight to London (yes, this one fortunately left on time). All told, I touched down in London five hours later than I should have, but fortunately, I still made it in time for my Merlin presentation at the Apple Store. Here are the slides from my presentation:
Update: We are excited to learn that the editors of http://www.slideshare.net have just promoted our presentation to be featured on their home page!

We are very sorry, but we had to increase the Merlin prices for our friends in the United Kingdom. In recent months the exchange rate between the Euro (our base currency) and the British Pound went got progressively worse. We have been selling Merlin for quite some time at an undervalued price based on the exchange rate, hoping the market situation might improve.
Unfortunately this was not the case as you can see here:

As a result, we couldn’t ignore the exchange disparity any longer, so have modified the UK £ prices as follows:
As soon the exchange rate improves, we will reset the price again.
