We announced the release of our current Attensa for Outlook version 2.0 a couple of days ago. Today we activated auto-update, so current users running versions lower than 2.0.1.29 will be prompted with the option to upgrade during the next 24 hours.
Here's the short list of improvements again:
1. Attensa now sends graphics to your blog service.
2. Improved category synchronization between the various Attensa components.
3. The River of News view now has icons to indicate whether an Attensa Feed Server feed is mandatory or not.
4. Improved playback in the River of News Pod Player.
Plus one more big one... the Firefox extension is now compatible with Firefox 2.0.

Attensa has proven an effective way for me to keep up with my areas of interest. I think it is a super product.
I got the notification for update, and selected to run it. I had forgotten to shutdown Outlook before I did the Attensa update, and so the update failed. How can I restart the update process?
Would be nice if when updating attensa, and you check to see if outlook is running, that you offer the user a chance to close it and continue the install. As of this morning when I was trying to install the update I had outlook open and the install told me, so I closed outlook, but the install finished without installing the update, and now I'm not sure how to get attensa to check for the update again.
Why isn't there a direct link to downloading the update? The main download page still forces me to provide an email address and wait x hours before I get a link mailed to me.
I'm a current Attensa user and I get the update dialog every time I start up Outlook. Unfortunately the upgrade process is broken. It says I need to close outlook before the update can proceed, and the moment that I try, both Attensa and Outlook crash. There's no way I can start the update before I start outlook because I don't have the binary locally.
Our installer isn't handling this in the most graceful manner, so I've logged a request to make it pause and wait for user input before checking again if Outlook is running.
Attensa checks for updates once every 24 hours. You'll get a prompt the following day for the upgrade since it failed the first time.
