ThunderBrowse turns two today!

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Today is ThunderBrowse’s “birthday” (so to speak) and it turns two today! Woo! Hope you enjoy it! :D

Update on 3.2.5: Currently being translated at babelzilla, about halfway done. We have six languages already finished with two more on the way. I’m still waiting on the other six.

I might release a beta today, but I’m not sure just yet.

3.2.5 development update

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009
"Boom, Headshot." It's what I do to bugs.

"Boom, Headshot." It's what I do to bugs.

This version is huge. Seriously. Look at how long the changelog is, I’ll wait (goes to a movie).

*3 hours later*

You back yet? Good.

Yes, 3.2.5 has an overload of new additions and bug fixes. To start, I’ve fixed the problem with AutoComplete that I mentioned in my last post (about the clicks). Boom, Headshot.

On top of that, I’ve added settings that allow the user to modify ThunderBrowse’s hotkeys. It works great and it’s applied to the popup window as well. Including in the new version is the ability to change Control+Left causing your browser to go back to Alt+Left within ThunderBrowse (may require restart). No keyconfig required (granted, ThunderBrowse will not resolve hotkey conflicts).

Tons of functions are grouped for smaller size and easier access and..well, let’s just say your hour has come again.

Yes, that’s right. Remember how everyone was having problems with non-ASCII characters in POST requests and I couldn’t figure out how to fix it? You don’t? Oh well, then it obviously doesn’t apply to you. For everyone else, POST language encoding has finally been fixed (thanks to maxrempel who contributed test cases for the patch).

My little ThunderBrowse is growing up….*sniff sniff* *tear*

Speaking of growing up, ThunderBrowse turns two years old on May 26 (that’s next week). To celebrate, I hope to get 3.2.5 out the door.

3.2.5 is definitely a version to try out, whether you are new to ThunderBrowse or a previous user of ThunderBrowse, come hop on in. You might like the changes.

Interview at Babelzilla

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

So I did an interview a few days ago for BabelZilla. It’s a pretty silly interview featuring lolcats.

Three things

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Okay, today I learned three things:

  1. Kompozer is a lifesaver. I’ve finished the new help documentation.
  2. Never make changes to the default wordpress theme and then upgrade. As you can see, I’ve lost all my changes. Hooray…. I’ve just got the FAQ and Developer’s pages back up.
  3. We got featured in a ZDnet article in Germany. Hooray! :D Press page will be updated soon.

I’ve finished a few more last minute bug fixes to ThunderBrowse and it’s almost ready for release. I’m also thinking of making the blog available on the main site. That will be cool.

The bugreporter is down. This was reported awhile ago, but I guess some server upgrade happened and caused the system to stop working. I’ve been planning a fix.

OMG! WE MADE IT! :D! YAY!
