More updates on 3.2.5

Look at those eyes. This game is fune.

Look at those eyes. This game is fun.

Normally, I don’t make a post on a new feature right after I have implemented it but this one is definitely a keeper so far (just need to work out a few bugs).

I finally got AutoComplete to work in XPFE (this took awhile as there is practically zero documentation on how to do so). Turns out that I had been close to getting it right before (minus some very big bugs) but had just failed on pretty much every array possible.

Good news: Real AutoComplete is coming in the next build. It looks really ugly right now (doesn’t have the styling I want yet) and has this one bug that prevents left clicking on results from doing anything (in TB3 [I think it currently works fine in TB2]). I’ve yet to replace the popup panel (which would probably fix these problems [and if it doesn't, I'll have to force an attribute on all of you :P ]).

Second thing: I updated the blog so that individual posts are not as squeezed as they used to be. This makes the blog posts more roomier.

Third thing: I finally set up a crude SVN and then used symbolic links to make it so that I can test TB3 and TB2 without having to constantly update files. I feel so accomplished! :D

Fourth thing: Plants vs Zombies is really fun (yes, I bought this).

Fifth thing: I’ve recently learned that AMO now requires developers to choose a license for their extensions. I’ve been eying the W3C license (obviously going to rewrite a couple parts so it’s not open source). It looks like it has everything I want/need. So I might go with that.

Sixth thing: I updated the ThunderBrowse icon at AMO to have a transparent background (with a shadow) because it looked x10 times better. Savaden (he’s guy who made our logo) = awesome. Seriously. He’s great at making icons. Go hire him or commission him or something! You won’t be sorry.

Seventh thing: There will be a beta for 3.2.5 because of how much stuff is in it. The most important part of a beta is to SEND LOTS OF FEEDBACK. Seriously, if I get as many emails as I did last time (4), I’m going to stop posting betas.
