ThunderBlog

It’s now available on AMO.

I’ve ran the checks, and everything went just fine. I have uploaded the version to AMO a few minutes ago.

I just have to run the final checks (update the what’s new page) and then it can be uploaded.

It’s still being translated. Still. Though it has sped up a bit in the last few days.

I am aware of several bugs in ThunderBrowse that are new in 3.2.1.8, these are fixed in 3.2.1.3:

• https redirects: This was fixed once I encountered it. Somehow, the https fell off the registered protocols list (probably when I was working on something else).
• The LiveJournal and/or other POST form failings: This involves encoding user inputs for POST requests. This is removed for POST requests only. GET still encodes.
• A form input type of button will never do anything: Now it submits the document. If it has an onclick element, it may or may not fire it. If it does, a copy of the site may open in firefox, and still load just fine in Thunderbird. It’s kinda like how onsubmit worked.
• Clicking on a link in a cached tab page will cause it to open in firefox: This seems to be unfixable at the extension level, and involves the Thunderbird core. There is a workaround and can be found in the notes section in this bug report.

For the first and second bug, both of them have public patches available on the bug database.

Thank you all for being patient.

I’ve updated my bug reporting system (this is the http://thunderbrowse.com/bugreport one). And if you got here thinking Anonymantis has a new version, it doesn’t. It hasn’t had a new version update in 2 years.

I’ve personalized my installation a bit, I’ve added a better status page. And was going to add a place to input your version, but that didn’t work out as well as I thought (Mantis is very picky about this).

The new additions include:

1. Versions affected area
2. Resolutions and version where the fixes appear
3. A much needed notes section, where instead of me having to update the issue over and over, I can just use notes (hooray!)
4. A section for users to add their own notes (html is not allowed, and will be removed)

Hopefully this will make bug reporting even easier, allowing for better communication. Unfortunately, updates will not be sent to your inbox as Mantis can only send emails to registered users. The only real way to get this to work is via cron, which might be too hard on the system.

Please do not file a bug to see the changes. Instead please look at the picture below:
