Aperture 2.1 arrives — plug-ins now available, much more - Aperture Users Professional Network
With Aperture 2 just barely over a month old, some might be surprised to see that Apple today announced and shipped Aperture 2.1, a free upgrade for all Aperture 2.0 users, available via Software Update.

At the core of the Aperture 2.1 update is functionality that the AUPN was first to report on buried inside Aperture 2, the Editing Plug-In. This addition was part of the 2.0 release, but not activated at the time 2.0 was made available.

Aperture 2.1 brings full support for this plug-in infrastructure. Although the SDK is not officially released yet, Apple’s been working with several companies on developing plug-ins (more on these big announcements below) and have included a sample plug-in with Aperture 2.1.

Additionally there are several other features in the 2.1 update, and several bug fixes. A few of the features are much-requested additions to the Aperture interface. And those bug fixes? Many of the issues were first reported by AUPN members and then passed on to Apple by our staff. (So, thanks AUPN members for this update!)
