Web Developer 1.1.8 and User Agent Switcher 0.7.2

Chris Pederick — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:14:20 +0000

Updated patch releases for both the Web Developer and User Agent Switcher extensions have been released.

This version of the Web Developer extension fixes an issue where the ‘View Generated Source’ feature did not work as well, as combining the Firefox and Seamonkey versions of the extension into one build. The User Agent Switcher extension release should hopefully fix the problem with importing user agents in nested folders once and for all.

Apologies for the frequent updates, but hopefully these will be the final patch releases before the next major releases of the extensions.

Patch releases for both the Web Developer and User Agent Switcher extensions have been released. These releases add support for Firefox 3.5 to the Web Developer extension and fix some minor issues with the recent update to the User Agent Switcher extension — the full list of fixes can be found in the release notes.

Webmaster Jam Session 2008

In October I will be at the Webmaster Jam Session in Atlanta, speaking about using the Web Developer extension to develop and debug web sites in a session called Firefox Web Development. The dates for the event are October 3rd and 4th, and even if my session sounds dull there are a ton of other speakers so it should be well worth checking out.

Web Developer 1.1.6

Chris Pederick — Tue, 20 May 2008 03:49:19 +0000

A new version of the Web Developer extension has been released. This release adds support for Firefox 3 as well as fixes for a few issues discovered in the previous version.

Web Developer 1.1.5 and User Agent Switcher 0.6.11

Chris Pederick — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 02:43:24 +0000

Bizarrely (and rather embarrassingly) this is an almost identical post to my last post over 10 months ago. New versions of the Web Developer and User Agent Switcher extensions have been released. These releases are mainly to add support for the upcoming Firefox 3, but also contain a few other bug fixes.

And just like my last post I have redesigned my site — I think everything is working, but let me know if you see anything broken. Maybe I will actually write some posts describing some of the new features like I promised last time.

Web Developer 1.1.4 and User Agent Switcher 0.6.10

Chris Pederick — Fri, 11 May 2007 09:53:24 +0000

New versions of the Web Developer and User Agent Switcher extensions have been released. They are both patch releases fixing minor issues, as well as updating the extension download and update URLs to hopefully help with my bandwidth costs.

If you are reading this on chrispederick.com you will also see that I have redesigned my site. I am still working out some of the kinks so let me know if you see anything funky and look for some blog posts in the future describing some of the new features.

Web Developer 1.1.3

Chris Pederick — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 05:55:33 +0000

Version 1.1.3 of the Web Developer extension has been released. This is another patch release containing what I hope are the last major issues that were discovered in the previous version. With the major issues resolved this version has also been uploaded to Firefox Add-ons.

Chris Pederick — Sat, 20 Jan 2007 03:43:24 +0000

Version 1.1.2 of the Web Developer extension has been released. This is another patch release containing a few more fixes for bugs that were discovered in the previous version.

Web Developer 1.1.1

Chris Pederick — Sat, 13 Jan 2007 03:35:39 +0000

Version 1.1.1 of the Web Developer extension has been released. This is a patch release containing a few fixes for bugs that were discovered in the previous version.

Web Developer 1.1

Chris Pederick — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 04:47:09 +0000

I am pleased to announce that version 1.1 of the Web Developer extension has been released. The complete list of new features and bug fixes can be found in the history with the biggest change being the replacement of the sidebar with something I am calling the “dashboard”.

Dashboard

The dashboard provides similar functionality to the sidebar in that it allows content to be displayed without hiding the page for features like ‘Edit CSS’ and ‘Edit HTML’. However, because it is a custom component it can now be used in Mozilla and Seamonkey (as well as still supporting Firefox and Flock), docked to any side of the screen and supports using multiple sidebar features at the same time through the use of tabs. For example, you can now ‘Edit CSS’ and ‘Edit HTML’ on the same page at the same time.

Changes From The Beta Release

Changes from the beta release include the addition of search functionality to the ‘Edit CSS’ and ‘Edit HTML’ features and new icons by famfamfam, as well as a number of bug fixes.

Localization & Firefox Add-ons

The localized build is still version 1.0.2 as I do not have any updated translations yet, but once I receive a few I will update the localized build. If you would like to help localize the extension please read the localization documentation.

Let me know if you see any problems, but as long as there are no major issues I will be uploading this version to Firefox Add-ons in the next few days.
