Apple has now approved the Eucalyptus 1.3.1 update. This should fix the problems that some users with iPhone 3G and iPod Touch devices running iOS 4 have been experiencing.
Of course, Eucalyptus still looks great on the iPhone 4.
We've found a bug that's affecting some users with iPhone 3G and iPod Touch devices that have been upgraded to iOS 4 and Eucalyptus 1.3. For affected users, Eucalyptus will crash shortly after launch. We have submitted Eucalyptus 1.3.1 to Apple to fix the problem.
If you're affected, updating to version 1.3.1 when it becomes available will fix the problem, and your library will remain intact.
Many apologies to anyone affected by the bug - we know how frustrating it is! Many thanks also to the few users who emailed us to report the problem - we couldn't have tracked ...
Just in time for the July 4th weekend, Eucalyptus 1.3 is out! This is not a major feature update (hence the only-0.1 version number bump), but it does provide full support for iOS 4 features, and iPhone 4. We're excited about it - and delighted to be using it!

It now blocks, in some regions, the download of a small number of books - six in total at this time - that we've been notified are not freely distributable in those regions. For the vast majority of users, there are no noticeable changes in behaviour. If you'd like to hear more background on the saga we've been through in the last few weeks from ...
Eucalyptus has currently been withdrawn from sale on the App Store by Apple. A more explanatory blog post will accompany its return - we're hard at work on the problem right now.
Just to avoid speculation, the situation is in no way connected to the problems we originally had when submitting Eucalyptus to Apple, and we're certain it will quickly be resolved. Don't worry, Eucalyptus will be back soon!
Thanks for your patience.
Update:
If you would like to be notified when Eucalyptus is available again, just send an email to eucalyptus@th.ingsmadeoutofotherthin.gs and we'll let you know as soon as ...
