Well, I’ve been working on it while it’s being translated. I can tell you that currently, this version should have been bumped up a few version numbers. It has a bunch of bug fixes and security patches.

Here’s what has been added to 3.2.1.8 since my last post:

1. Better https checking (before, we checked if the url just had https and highlighted it). This new one actually checks the security of the website and cert. It also recognizes EV Certs (however, you need a security package installed to recognize EV Certs).
2. tbinitbar.js has been rewritten (it’s a bit cleaner)
3. A few dev functions have been changed (however, I’ve made sure to support the older ones, too)
4. The bookmarks js file has been reorganized
5. Fixed a very old bug where if the user had turned off title changing; meta checking, favicons, and url checking would all fail.
6. You can rightclick on the website field of an RSS Feed entry and choose to open it in the browser (this option checks [will load in new tab, popup window, or external browser]). You can see the image at the bottom of this post.
7. Some much needed reorganization

Also included is better XPI Checking, which was a needed feature. Before, checks were done via a match using a faulty string (you can’t check “.xpi”). So what happened was if a url contained .xpi, it failed and may start an installation (the user would still have to accept it). This was wrong. The new one checks file extensions correctly and does a much better job.
