Alright, 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!
