Yes, this is getting really annoying. Somehow, there is always the one bug that manages to escape my grasp. This isn’t my fault, or for anyone’s for all I know. It just happened.

Sorry for those affected (German users), one of the language files was improperly encoded as a Windows encoding (should have been UTF-8). Hopefully you aren’t completely mad, I’m not exactly sure at what point the file changed encoding, it just did.

So 3.2.1.3.1 (what an ugly version number) has been uploaded to AMO and contains the proper locale. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I’ve just uploaded version 3.2.1.3 to AMO. It has a lot of cool new features.

Yeah, this is kinda sad.

Normally, when I go to rewrite a function, I check inside files to see if any other functions need to use this function. If so, I keep those dependencies in mind.

Well, I searched in all my files to check if the function that clears urls for opening in the external browser had any dependencies.

Here’s what it said: No results found.

Guess what? THAT IS SO WRONG!!!! It turns out, several files send this function arguments (arguments share data between functions), and the new function doesn’t take arguments. So a huge bug is produced.

In conclusion, don’t use the software called Search GT (it screws your results) and don’t only depend on Explorer searching functions (I also checked in Notepad but got no results).

3.2.1.2 should fix the bug, and if it doesn’t, then I freaking hate the Sibbie (Strong Bad reference).

So some new stuff in this version:

1. Wizard - Set up ThunderBrowse quickly and easily to your needs. HOORAH
2. Non forcing of homepage - I won’t force your startpage to change (be sure to read the Wizard carefully though)
3. Fixed some general coding bugs - Most of them I forgot to note in the changelog. My bad. Though it still hasn’t fixed the stupid checkboxes (I’m close to a patch [still testing])
4. Uninstaller - If, for whatever reason, you don’t like ThunderBrowse (Inconceivable!), you can uninstall it. Everything will be removed that was used by ThunderBrowse (if you want it too). We’ll even reset your old homepage. Free!
5. Fixed some developer function bugs. Nasty things they are

I’ve just uploaded 3.2.0.9 to AMO. Not much development has gone farther in the development other than what I said before. For a refresher, this is what it covers:

Adds click to select the urlbar, cleaned up tab code, POST bug fixes (now load in the correct tab instead of current tab), fixes bugs with GET forms, Options window tab icons.

As well as a new language,  Brazilian (pt-BR) from Alberto Eidh. Thanks!

The new version should be public soon.
