More details can be found on the EEP official website.EyeTV EPG Proxy is open source (under LGPL license).What's new in this version:Fixed installer for Leopard.

Description: Maintain1 uses the terminal application to provide the output instead of having its own window do this. The reason behind this is that I like the terminal application. All I wanted was to be able to just click a button, have the terminal launch and run a shell script. I have made it where you can edit the shell script, save it and then your shell script is ran instead of the original one. The scripts are only linked to the buttons by their name. The shell scripts are just plain text files and are not compiled into the program.
