Version 3.2.1.1 Uploaded to AMO

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

I’ve just uploaded the version onto AMO. It will be public soon.

Additions to 3.2.1.1

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Before, ThunderBrowse had really buggy POST form support because I hadn’t figured out how transmit data effectively. I used to use XMLHTTPRequest (that’s what is behind AJAX) to deal with such data transmission.

It should be noted (let me be the first) that you shouldn’t use XMLHTTPRequest in an extension if you are dealing with dynamic websites. This is now fixed.
So, in addition to the last post,  3.2.1.1 has these new items:

  • Better form controls (I think it now works with just about everything [because of cookie incapabilities, https forms might not work])
  • Support of the Danish language
  • What’s changed feature (still in progress)

In other news, the translators finally finished translating, so 3.2.1.1 will be uploaded tonight (hopefully).

The bad news: In order to login, it’s best if you now use CS Lite, because my cookie support doesn’t work very well.

Sorry if you’ve been trying to hold out against using it, but I think now is the time to face the facts, my cookie support sucks, and his is much better (plus he uses sqlite [which I'm still trying to learn]).

Anyways, my cookie files are still in ThunderBrowse, until it comes time to force everyone to switch to his system.

I’m not sure if the cookie files I’ve left will work with the new form controls but if they don’t, please let me know via here. I will remove the files and set up a system for new users to be able to install CS Lite (I’ll add something to the wizard)
