Released: Modify Headers 0.5.4
Now that Firefox 2 has been released and the Modify Headers upgrade to support it completed, I have finally got round to fixing an usability issue that has been irritating me for a while.
Previously when clicking the Edit button, the header name and value would be placed in the appropriate text box, but the action select would not change, it would always be stuck on Add. Now, this has been resolved.
Firefox auto-update will handle this for most people, but if you don't have Modify Headers, go install it from Mozilla Update.
Released: XHTML Mobile Profile 0.3.6
This point release provides support for Firefox 2 final release. Please install from Mozilla Update.
Released: Modify Headers 0.5.3
This release simply provides the version number for Firefox 2. It will allow Modify Headers to be installed on the release candidates and the final 2.0 version. As always, install at Mozilla Update.
Please report any issues at modifyheaders.mozdev.org.
Released: Modify Headers 0.5.2
This new release provides support for Firefox 2.0b2, Flock, Seamonkey and the Mozilla Suite. The install for all browsers can be found at Mozilla Update. (This works for Flock too).
Please report any issues at modifyheaders.mozdev.org.
New Release: Modify Headers 0.5.2 for Nvu
A user of Nvu asked for Modify Headers to be ported to the mozilla based editor. Version 0.5.2 for Nvu is now available.
If there are any issues, please post them in bugzilla.
Beta testers wanted
I'm in the process of porting Modify Headers to Flock and Seamonkey. If anyone is interested in beta testing these versions prior to release, please mail me at modifyheaders-owner _at_ mozdev.org.
The Flock version is ready to go, but the Seamonkey version is going to take some more work.
Must-have… Modify Headers
Yesterday I went looking for recommended Thunderbird extensions and found an article, published Wednesday at Newsforge, about Must-have Firefox and Thunderbird extensions. To my surprise, on page 2 under Web developer tools, was listed Modify Headers.
It's great to know your work is appreciated.
XHTML Mobile Profile 0.3.5 released
A new version of the XHTML Mobile Profile (0.3.5) has been released. This adds support for when the xhtml namespace is not provided in the root html node of the page source. Please download from Mozilla Update.
If you find any issues or have any suggestions, please submit them to bugzilla.
Mobile Profile
One of my spare time projects is developing and maintaining a Mozilla Firefox extension, XHTML Mobile Profile. The extension is available for download at Mozilla Update. Recently, there have been some comments that have been fairly critical of the extension and its capabilities, so I feel the need to clarify a few things:
1. application/xhtml+xml is supported by Firefox natively.
But being the standards compliant beast that Firefox is, the rendering only occurs if the correct namespace is added to the root html tag.
For a simple demonstration (requires Mozilla Firefox), compare this page (source) with this one (source). The first shows the content unformatted, but the second page is rendered by Firefox as it has been told the namespace of the document.
2. WML support is available using the WML Browser.
There is no need for the XHTML Mobile Profile extension to support WML as this is already provided by the WML Browser.
3. XHTML Mobile Profile supports only application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml
Given 1 and 2 above, this is the only content type that required support as the others for mobile content are already covered. I must admit that I need to provide more detail on the Mozilla Update site that sets peoples expectations.
I'll work on that next.
