For those who are interested in an accessible, cross-platform DNA design tool, Synbiota's GENtle is worth checking out at http://synbiota.com - it's an Open Source HTML5/Javascript web-based app that works right in your browser, even on a tablet. No need to install or update. It's just a web-link away like Google or Wikipedia ;-)
Like GenomeCompiler, there's a lot still to be added in terms of functionality, but it is already useful and is being used by a number of iGEM teams, DIYBio groups and University labs around the globe.
Unlike GenomeCompiler, GENtle is built on web-standards and is open source (released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0). There is an active development community at GitHub (https://github.com/Synbiota/GENtle2) where anyone can get involved to help build out features.
Just yesterday we announced the "SPrize" - a competition to incentivize the development of open source plug-ins for GENtle. Cash awards and global bragging rights are at stake!

I don't post much but it does seem like Genome Compiler's alpha release is out.
