Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Facepalm moment!
I had totally forgotten that I didn’t update some of the language files in 3.2.6.2 so some of the other languages will see error messages in the GUI. I thought I didn’t have any new strings, but it turns out I did (one I added a long time ago).
Sorry about the confusion and thanks to all the recent donors to the project (it really means a lot to me)! 
Update on the Summer of Funding:
Currently we are half way to the first milestone, Thunderbird 3 Tabs. Can’t wait!
ThunderBrowse 3.2.6.2 released
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009Version 3.2.6.2 has been released on AMO. Have a party.
We also now support Postbox. Have fun with that too.
Announcing ThunderBrowse 3.2.6.2
Friday, August 7th, 2009ThunderBrowse 3.2.6.2 contains several new fixes that keep ThunderBrowse compatible to the most recent nightly (Thunderbird 3.0b4pre). It also adds Postbox support.
But the most substantial change is the new click engine.
What that means is that it captures data WAY better than the old version does. Remember those few links that you would click and nothing would happen? That’s fixed with this new engine. There is a bunch of new checks in place to make sure that Thunderbird won’t end up launching a link in two browsers.
onClick has been upgraded, the context menu click finding has been improved and so much more. We no longer have problems with the limited old engine, as this new one handles everything.
However, there is a slight problem:
I can’t test it on every website to make sure it works. In my tests, almost all websites passed. If you check the comments part of the error log, you’ll see the new engine at work. Even with all my tests, there is always the problem that something went wrong. If a website is not working for you (and it’s not https and not powered by plugins) please let me know.
Exciting Progress!
Saturday, July 4th, 2009Alright, here’s a massive update. Ready?
First: We are currently at $30 dollars in the Summer of Funding. This means I’m still pretty broke and if it had not been for some kind donors already, development would be pretty much no where so far. So please help keep ThunderBrowse development going. I want to work on this thing but I really can’t unless it brings in money.
Second: I finally found a way to fix bug 67, also known as the bug that causes webpages to magically launch in an external browser when they shouldn’t. The fix was to rewrite the capturing system into a new and much more improved system. This leads into the next few things.
Try to do this in ThunderBrowse 3.2.6.1.
Third: Theoretically, ThunderBrowse should now keep everything within ThunderBrowse. No more launching in both Firefox and ThunderBrowse. Everything stays within ThunderBrowse (provided you use ThunderBrowse for the browser, not just to fix links). There is no way to say this is true for every website on the internet, but it passed everything in my test cases.
Fourth: We now have support for both onSubmit and onChange. There is a small bug with onChange that causes it to launch Firefox if the change is supposed to submit a form. This is a bug with Thunderbird and there is no way to fix it from my end.
Fifth: Today I spent a couple of minutes rewriting some settings descriptions so they don’t look like a drunken idiot wrote them (to tell you the truth, I wrote most of those strings extremely late at night [I do not write very well late at night]).
Sixth: The coolest thing of all. ThunderBrowse 3.2.6.2 will have support for Postbox. That’s right. If you follow my twitter at all, you’ll find that I mentioned this quite a few days ago after this announcement was made. And to prove it, here’s an awesome screenshot:
ThunderBrowse in Postbox
If ThunderBrowse 3.2.7 ships with TB3 tab support (YOU CAN HELP GET THIS ADDED!), Postbox will have TB3 tab support as well.
Seventh: I went with my family today (with the exception of my dad as he is currently very sick) to go see UP. I almost cried through the whole thing. I loved it. Pixar is the best. Props to all you guys, that was the best. Seriously, go see UP.
And that’s what has been going on!
