ThunderBlog

As we are waiting for the rest of this Version to be translated (2 more languages need to be completed), several new items were added into the build. Especially one big new fix.

The first thing is a fix with checkBrowser(), and it’s fixed again due to more bugs. The first fix allowed for less lines of code to check. But because of the fix, I noticed a problem when I wrote the original code. Webpages with no title that tried to send post data received the data in the mail tab. That would be bad right? Well, ThunderBrowse detects the page as still mail, so it denies any javascript that would run from the received data to run.

Translation: I fixed a big bug with websites that don’t have titles. Specifically, the DiVX Pro download page (which oddly, still doesn’t download when you click download. There might be a problem).

I added a section about ThunderBrowse not loading any links in Thunderbird at all. The cause? ThunderBrowse link capturing was turned off, and the user forgot they turned it off.

Due to the no title webpages, several more fixes were added. When you choose to bookmark a page that has no title, ThunderBrowse will ask you for one. This also fixes the window title, which would display: ” – Thunderbird 2.0.0.9″ on those pages. That’s wrong. It now displays: “Thunderbird 2.0.0.9″.

Middle clicked bookmarks now load in tabs

Two new developer functions: getTBVersion() and getThunderBrowseVersion(), both are pretty explanatory but I added them to the list anyways.

What’s new in 3.2.0.5? Well, I fixed the problems with gContextMenu, where a much better method is being used. I also fixed a pref that got changed between builds accidentally. I also added a help tooltip to the statusbar, so it will tell you what it does (this means that this version is being translated). The new tab button’s image can be changed via CSS now (handy for themes like own). Load in New Tab has a check now that will see if it can load a URL. If not, it loads the current page in a new tab. Visit in Browser has a bunch of bug fixes as well.
