This is a minor release with a couple of simple bug fixes. The server running our forums and bug database recently crashed, so we lost all the posts and bugs related to Forecastfox. Please report any bugs you come across so we know what to fix again!

This morning we had a bug show up where boolean prefs were not being loaded correctly. I’ve fixed this issue and submitted 0.9.5.1 to the A.M.O queue. Hopefully it will not take long for that release to be approved.

I’m not even sure anyone still looks at this thing anymore. Here is kind of a run down of what’s been happening for those of you who do.

Work for Netscape is going well. I’m really enjoying the work I’m doing. Checkout the teaser stories to see some of the information about the new browser.

I’m preparing to get version 0.9.5 of Forecastfox out by the end of the week barring any unforseen issues.

Everyone in the house is sick. The boys have bronchialitis, so I’m sure that’s what Rachel and I have too. It’s really hard with Wyatt being so young and not really wanting to eat. He’ll be 3 months next week. It’s amazing how fast time goes, but it seems like I don’t remember a time before he was here.

I’ve been wanting to make some changes to this website. I would like to move away from blogger.com and host my own. I would also like to start integrating some of the cool APIs Netscape provides into the blog. Hopefully, I can start to do that in the next couple of months.

We should have a test release out soon. When we first started working on this version, it was going to be a minor upgrade for bug fixes. As I was going through the back-end code finalizing the interfaces for 1.0, I realized we need to make some big changes for scalability and performance. Those changes are what has caused this version to take so long.

This was done in the exact same way the sidebar object is added. This allows us to be able to install an icon pack directly from a web site.

A site can tell if forecastfox is installed and what version is installed. I’ve decided to add a message to the top of my blog showing you what version of the extension you have installed. In the future this may change to let you know when your version is no longer supported.
