 There is now a new version of the <a href="http://codefisher.org/projects/xrl.in.php">Xrl.in Tiny Links</a> extension which you can <a href="http://codefisher.org/download/tiny-links/xrl.in-1.4.xpi">downloaded</a>. <a href="http://xrl.in/">Xrl.in</a> is link shorting service that is part of the <a href="http://codefisher.org/">Codefisher.org</a> network.
</p>

<p>
 The changes in this version include streamlining the the extension by removing the drop down from the button. All the settings can be still found in the option's window.  To to <strong>Tools</strong> menu then <strong>Add-ons</strong>; in the <strong>Extensions</strong> tab you will find the extension and be able to open it's options. Another change is that once the button, which is located inside the url bar, is clicked the url is automatically copied to the clipboard, though this can be turned off.
</p>

<p>
The extension also added support for <a href="http://group.xrl.in/">Xrl.in link Groups</a>, if you right click on the tab bar you can create a link group of all the currently open tabs.

 The next version of <a href="/toolbar_button/">toolbar buttons</a> is out.  Unfortunately it does not contain all the new things I would have liked, only the <a href="/toolbar_button/version/0.6.0.5">fixes</a> to all the bugs reported over the past few months.  I was distracted with other projects that resulted in much less being done with my extensions then I had hoped over the long summer holidays.
</p>

<p>
 I am almost ready to do releases on some of my other extensions so stay tuned for more.

   <title>Version 0.6 - a bug fix &amp; a little new</title>
   <link href="http://codefisher.org/news/#news-30"/>

   <summary  type="html"><![CDATA[ <p>
 I have finally finished version 0.6 of Toolbar Buttons.  I think I fixed more bugs in this release then any other I have done.  Manly because I kept putting off releasing it; for two reasons.  One was I could not find a few hours together to release it (normally takes about 3 or so hours once everything is take into account).  Plus I made changes that meant I had to update the Custom Toolbar Button Maker.
</p>

<p>
 I now have a week off, so I finished of Toolbar Buttons and rewrote the  Custom Toolbar Button Maker; that was a lot of fun, been itching to do it.  After studying SQL for 6 months I manged it make it a lot faster, and a lot less code, almost 400 lines shorter.  400 lines that can't possibly have bugs in it.
</p>

<p>
 There are eight new buttons, much fewer that I would have liked.  The request list has grown much more than that.

  <a href="/toolbar_button/">Toolbar Buttons</a>, <a href="/format_toolbar/">Text Formatting Toolbar</a> and <a href="/projects/xrl.in">Xrl.in Tiny Links</a> all got an update for Firefox 3 which is supposed to come out on the 17th of June (that is today as I write this post).  All three extensions received a number of bug fixes as well, some Firefox 3 related others not.
</p>
<p>
  I have not updated Minimize To Tray <strong>Enhancer</strong> as its dependency has not been updated (it looks like I might have to look into doing that if I can).  All the other extensions of mine are little used and need major work so I am not inclined to update them yet.  I will do so eventually, would be great if someone else helped out though ;)

   <summary  type="html"><![CDATA[ <p>
 Another update of Toolbar Buttons has been released.  It fixed a number of minor issues that had been reported in the previous release.  There where no major changes though.
</p>

<p>
 The think it should be the last one in the 0.5.0 branch of Toolbar Buttons.  The next release should be 0.5.5 unless any unexpected bugs are found.  The plans for 0.5.5 is to start to change the icons and add the next 15 or so wanted buttons.

   <summary  type="html"><![CDATA[ <p>
 I have finally released <a href="/format_toolbar/version/0.1.4">version 0.1.4</a> of the <a href="/format_toolbar/">Text Formatting Toolbar</a>.  It has a lot of little fixes that needed to be done along with two major new features.
</p>

<p>
I have been asked to include a number of less common tags.  I have now implemented a way of creating your own.  To find out more about it you can read my <a href="/format_toolbar/custom_buttons">tutorial</a>
</p>

<p>
 There is also a feature that is used to create and store posts the can be then used as a template/canned reply etc.  It is also great because it gives you a backup of the post, and a friendly environment in which to write it.  Some people have found other uses for it, such as a note taker.
</p>

<p>
 The other change to the extension was I changed all the icons to those I had created for the  <a href="/pastel-svg/">Pastel SVG</a> icon set.

   <summary  type="html"><![CDATA[ <p>
 A few posts back I mentioned that I was in the process of producing an icon set that I intend to use in my extensions, and also make a Firefox and Thunderbird theme out of. I have now uploaded the set and you can get them from the <a href="http://codefisher.org/pastel-svg/">Pastel SVG Icons</a> home page.   There are almost 500 icons, my target is somewhere in the 1250 range, so that is not quite half way.

   <title>Sharp Color Picker Update</title>

   <summary  type="html"><![CDATA[ <p>
 About a week ago someone contacted me about buying a copy of my <a href="/web_applications/color_picker/">Sharp Color Picker</a>.  It set me thinking about ways I could improve it.  A number of things I came up with that can now be seen in the new version I have put up were.  The color pallet should be more vertical then horizontal, this puts closely related colors together more.  Some Darken and Lighten color buttons would help for fine tuning the color as could some boxes around the current color to show slight variations.  I also added a primitive color wheel, as best as could be done in HTML with out making it too slow.  Plus I made it look more presentable and fixed/improved a few minor things.  If you have not already done so it is worth having <a href="/web_applications/color_picker/">another look at</a>
</p>

<p>
 Also I just put up a <a href="/web_applications/scroller">image scroller</a> that looks kind of like some flash banners I have seen, expect it is all done in just HTML/JavaScript.

   <title>New Extension Releases</title>

   <summary  type="html"><![CDATA[ <p>
 Just in the past two days I have released one new extension and an update to another.  Both of which warrant a mention.
</p>

<p>
 <a href="/projects/send-page">Send Page via Email</a> is designed to bring a feature that is in IE into Firefox.  As with every IE feature it can be used as a reason not to use Firefox, even if it does everything else so much better.  When the menu item for it, that can be found in the tools menu, is click it opens up the default mail client with an attachment of the current page.  Depending on what email client the recipient uses the web page will normally be displayed in the message body when it is received.
</p>

<p>
 Also there has been another update to <a href="/toolbar_button/">Toolbar Buttons</a> in which a number of reported bugs were resolved.  The changes where
</p>

 <ul>
  <li>Fixed the page zoom buttons for Firefox 3</li>
  <li>Fixed a typo in the 'Toggle Read' buttons' tooltip</li>
  <li>Fixed a bug in the Real Next/Previous button</li>
  <li>Reverted the implementation of the Read Mail/News buttons to be more reliable in Firefox 2.  The Firefox 3 betas still use the less reliable implimention.</li>
  <li>Fixed a few other minor errors that were thrown when some buttons were not in use.</li>
 </ul> ]]></summary>
