I have just posted a new build of Googlebar Lite. This latest release fixes a bug that can cause the forward and backward buttons to stop working, and adds a Greek localization. As always, let me know if you find any problems.

The contact form at this website has been updated. If you run into any problems, simply leave a comment on this posting letting me know that something is broken.

I am currently working on a new release of both Googlebar Lite and CoLT:

Googlebar Lite 4.6.4
This new release will fix a major problem that occurs when browsing JAR files in Firefox when Googlebar Lite is installed. A new Greek translation will also be added.

CoLT 2.4.0
Support for rich-text format hyperlinks is coming in the next release of CoLT. I am still awaiting a number of localizations for this new version, but as soon as they become available, I will release.

With any luck, I will also be able to add Firefox 3.0 support to both of these new releases.

A new build of Paper Plus is now available. This release fixes a problem where the “Remove Dead Files” option wasn’t removing all of the dead files in the list.

I have just posted a new blog entry over at Year of the Code Monkey, detailing the new extension development changes coming in Firefox 3. There are some potential heavy hitting items coming down the pipeline, so be sure to check out the post.

Visitors to this website may wonder where I’ve wandered off to, due to the lack of updates. These days, I put way more effort into my blog, Year of the Code Monkey. Be sure to stop by and join in the discussions, and take some time to browse through my photo albums.

As I recently mentioned on my blog, the way I was handling the “skip to main content” links on this site wasn’t as accessible as I had originally thought. I have fixed this issue, and hopefully things will be much better. Please let me know if anything looks odd or out of place.

Yet another new release of Googlebar Lite is available. Two regressions surfaced from changes that were made in 4.6.2. Here’s the change log:

• Bug Fix: An uncaught exception in the new URL parsing logic (added in 4.6.2) was causing the URL bar in Firefox to act incorrectly when a new tab was opened.
• Bug Fix: The new URL parsing was too strict. Because of this, search terms were not being updated appropriately on non-web searches (image searches, group searches, etc.).

A new release of Googlebar Lite is now available. Changes in this release:

• The "Google GMail" option in the Googlebar Lite main menu now points to the secure https:// address.
• Bug Fix: Searching country-specific pages often caused search terms to become corrupted in the Googlebar Lite search box. The URL parsing logic has been rewritten and should now work as expected.
• Bug Fix: Some translational errors in the Dutch (nl-NL) locale have been fixed.

A small update to Googlebar Lite has been posted. This release fixes two bugs:

• Bug Fix: Highlighting on pages that contained frames did not work as expected.
• Bug Fix: Strict JavaScript parsing error.
