Announcing ThunderBrowse 3.3.1

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

ThunderBrowse 3.3.1 adds additional fixes that did not make it into ThunderBrowse 3.3. These bug fixes apply mostly to Thunderbird 2 builds.

Specifically:

  • Fixed issue with external protocols not enabling the launcher
  • Fixed settings window size issues in Thunderbird 2
  • Fixed settings window load issues on non-Thunderbird builds
  • Hid the tab settings page for applications that don’t support it
  • Updated locales that did not receive updates
  • Fixed the left click new tab feature
  • Fixed POST forms sending unchecked checkbox data.

I’ve uploaded the new version to AMO as a beta so you can get the new version now while 3.3.1 is under review. You can get the new version here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/5373/versions/3.3.1b2

Enjoy!

Update on ThunderBrowse 3.3

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

ThunderBrowse 3.3 is going to be the compatibility version that I mentioned in my last post. 3.3 doesn’t have anything too substantial (actually, that’s a lie but a lot of the things I wanted to add ended up getting scrapped because Thunderbird kept working against me).

But one of the biggest things that has changed is….

That’s right! If you couldn’t tell from that fairly obvious screenshot to the right, ThunderBrowse now has support for Spicebird. You’ll see this in version 3.3! Get ready!

In addition, here all the other things that I can remember that has changed (basically what I worked on today):

  • TB2 Tabs with Thunderbird 3 versions now work again. The issue stems to a problem with Mozilla removing the close button widget from the tabs element. This has been fixed.
  • Several code stalls have been repaired
  • Support for RESET form buttons
  • Improvements in form handling (specifically radio buttons and checkboxes)
  • Small style changes
  • A few fixes in external browser launching (this should fix any problems you had before [as it worked in my tests])
  • Fixed favicon issues with TB3Tabs
  • Several main window style issues
  • Settings window height has been increased so the buttons will still be visible when selecting different tab styles
  • Improvement of charset rendering (your mileage may vary here)
  • Argentinean Spanish Support (es-AR) by KNTRO
  • Spicebird support (it’s missing a few small things [specifically, the toolbar buttons and the bookmark menu placement is off])
  • Various loading Iimprovements (Pages load faster now)
  • More form event fixes (Specifically the enter key)
  • Javascript code loads correctly
  • ThunderBrowse uses less memory
  • Seriously, way faster page loading
  • Better expression checking
  • Removed unnecessary object conversions

There may or may not be more changes other than these, my repository history doesn’t go back far enough to check to see if there is anything else.

Thunderbird 3.1 Issues

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Yes, I am aware that there are issues with ThunderBrowse on Thunderbird version 3.1. I’m going to try to get them fixed tomorrow (or Sunday) and hopefully have a build/patch out by Monday if all goes well.

Just to let you all know. I would have it done tonight, but today has been a very long day. In addition, I’ll be looking into adding support for other clients. This may or may not make it into the patch. This patch will cover compatibility issues with Thunderbird 3.1.

Thanks for listening.

A long needed update

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

NOTE: Version 3.2.9 has been canceled. All code from this version has merged into Version 3.3.

Sorry that I haven’t updated this blog for awhile. Yes, I’m still alive (barely) and I’ve been really busy with school work, job applications, financial aid paperwork and so forth.

Because I’ve been so busy, my emails have been stockpiling up. A few of you are complaining about how ThunderBrowse doesn’t work in the newest Thunderbird (yet I’m currently using the newest Thunderbird and I am not having any problems [please screenshot it to me if you found a bug]).

I do know about the left click new tab issue. Fixing it is pretty complex and when I have the chance, I’ll try to sit down and fix it.

Now hold on, Imma gonna let this blog finish but let me make a couple of notes here:

  1. If you’ve been noticing problems in translations, please notify the translators at babelzilla.org forums (specifically this thread). I do not do translations myself.
  2. If you have been noticing problems in my grammar/spelling, thank you. I am a native English speaker and I tend to be very watchful of my spelling and/or grammar. Normally when I’m writing software documentation/string translations, it tends to be very late and I start making lots of mistakes.
  3. If you have donated in the last two months, I’m very sorry about not sending out thank you responses. As I’ve said, I’ve been very busy with work and have been unable to thank you for your kind donations.
  4. The new version of ThunderBrowse has been delayed for awhile. I apologize for this and I’ll try to get it out when I can.
  5. For those asking about NoScript support, do realize I am not the author of the NoScript extension. If you want NoScript support for Thunderbird, contact the developer and not me.
  6. Do not file bug reports asking for support. Mantis is not for support requests, it is for bug reports. I offer support at the email specified on the contact page.

That about wraps it up in terms of what’s going on. Hopefully this helps out those who are curious.
