0.68 RC0/Beta Test Available

More of a beta than a release candidate, but this release is feature complete for what I want in it.

New Features
3 Configurable Highlighting Choices
Color Themes
Product search on Smack of Shame

I'm not real fond of the way the theme feature is handled in the options, but it will take some time to explore some other UI options. It would also be nice to have the theme saved to an external stylesheet as opposed to me sticking it in the firefox options the way it current does.

Another, more subtle theme

0.68 Themes

There's a limit to what I can do, but tis the season to be theme'n.

More Highlighing Options

So what do we do here when you highlight color is a bad match for the chat "info/actions" (e.g. mute, highlight, reply) text color?

0.67.4 Released

SwakSmack 0.67.4 is released. Hopefully this version addresses the alert problem many people were seeing, BUT I can't say for sure that it is cured. I have never seen the alert problem and have relied on the help of jellysmack and MrGromit in tracking down what was causing them to miss alerts. So for all I know, I only fixed the problem for two people. Hopefully it's more and hopefully alerts keep working for all those people who were not having issues. Time will tell.

0.67.2 Release

0.67.2 was released primarily to address a problem I had with the PM monitoring. If you are using version 0.67 or 0.67.1, please update to 0.67.2. The 0.67.2 version does NOT have PM monitoring enabled. It may be re-enabled once I resolve any issues the monitoring may have on the JF servers.

Ideally, the extension will be able to drop PM/LR monitoring once JF starts pushing out the notifications from their end. That really is the best solution so let the people at JF know that you want "real time" PM monitoring.

0.67.1 Released to Fix FireFox 2.0.0.4 Issue

Thanks to TWF and Vista I was able to find the problem with the 0.67 version and FireFox 2.0.0.4. Version 0.67.1 should address the issue where the extension was causing the browser to crash.

On that note, since I don't have every possible platform and version combination, should you encounter a problem with the extension, please let me know.

0.67 Released

0.67 of SwakSmack is available.

Lots of new stuff in this release so please let me know of any problems, issues, or suggestions that you have.
