RipDev have come out with a Caterpillar update. Caterpillar is that beautiful skinning package that has become available for all iPhone / iPod Touch owners - for a price.

Have a look at the new features in version 1.1 of this awesome application below.

Version 1.1. ChangeLog:

 

All Components:

• Ability to request a trial to try out the product for a few days for free.
• Improved the installer.
• Small fixes and tweaks on all the components.

µCalendar:

• Recurring events are now supported;
• Ability to select default mode: events or calendar;
• Ability to turn off mode switching by clicking, so you can only see events or calendar;
• The events for up to the next 7 days are displayed now (but no more than 7 on the screen);
• The events view is wider now;
• Fixed a visual glitch with a light line on the bottom of the calendar;
• Fixed a bug with the volume slider not functioning in the iPod control mode.

FaceLift:

• 5-icons Dock support for firmware 1.1.3 and newer;
• Ability to turn enable Reflective Dock;
• Ability to turn off Dock background;
• Ability to make status bar opaque;
• Dark faceplates for the icon titles (nice for light backgrounds).

Privacy:

• Ability to hide only the message text or both the sender and the text in the addition to the “standard” options.

Reminder:

• The phone is only waking up to make a notification to conserve the battery.

Smart Dialer:

• Ability to dial a number from the Smart Dialer (including the plus sign, and */# symbols);
• Improved the search speed;
• Ability to choose the keypad language;
• Added an option to include the region code when searching for phone numbers;
• Added an option to delay the search until the designated number of characters is entered;
• Vibration is only done for 0.5 seconds per key press instead of the entire duration.

This is a nice hefty update. Makes Caterpillar a bit more worth it’s price - but still a little too expensive for my tastes.
