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.

Accessing Options
The SwakSmack options can be access in two ways:
1. In FireFox, goto Tools?Add Ons and then locate the JellyFish Smack Shopping Extension. With that add on selected, click “Options”. This will open the SwakSmack options
2. On the FireFox browser statusbar, right click on the any of the SwakSmack indicators and then select “Options”. This will open the SwakSmack options.

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.

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 of SwakSmack is available.

If there are not any major show stoppers in this test version, I plan on this being the last RC before the official 0.67 release. Thanks to all of those people who helped test and provide feedback.

Changes
1. Added show highlighted posts menu option which will toggle between showing all posts and only highlighted posts
2. Changed show tinyurl preview to default to 'on'
3. Highlighting/unhighlighting optimizations

Installing the extension is fairly easy, but if you are new to FireFox and extensions, it can cause a bit of head scratching. This document should help you get Smackin in style.

You should be able to install SwakSmack by directly clicking on the "Install Extension" link near the top of the http://mindstorm360.com/swaksmack page, however if you have never installed the SwakSmack extension before, FireFox will block the installation as part of its security measures.
