Developer Realmac has announced plans to offer Snow Leopard compatibility across its entire software lineup, including programs like RapidWeaver and LittleSnapper. The company, founded in November 2002, is focused on developing exceptionally useful and intuitive software for the Mac.

“Ever since Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference, we've received a number of messages asking about Snow Leopard support for our applications,” an update on the Realmac Software Blog reads. “Like every Mac developer, we're going to be updating our apps for Snow Leopard,” the company reveals.

As such, RapidWeaver 4 will be updated to run on Snow Leopard. The update will be a free maintenance release, according to Realmac Software. “Though we're not updating RapidWeaver 3.6.7, it remains available for download & purchase and we're continuing to support user[s] of 3.6,” the developer adds.

LittleSnapper, another Realmac-developed piece of Mac software, will be updated for Snow Leopard as well. The same type of maintenance release will be offered to LittleSnapper customers, who will be able to add Snow Leopard compatibility through a free software update.

“We continue to receive reports from users about their experiences with the Snow Leopard previews,” Realmac shares. “Whilst we're always grateful for bug reports, we would like to remind users that Snow Leopard previews are pre-release builds of the OS intended only for developers, and that the code-base is always changing. As such, we do not support users running RapidWeaver or LittleSnapper in Snow Leopard developer previews.”

“We don't have any announcements to make regarding the release dates for the updates right now, however we hope to have Snow Leopard-compatible versions of LittleSnapper and RapidWeaver 4 available around the time Snow Leopard is officially launched in September,” the company concludes.
