Web Developer Localization Updates

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, but work and the World Cup have been taking up most of my time.

Since I have been busy I had fallen behind on Web Developer localizations, but I just caught up and added a number of new and updated translations to the build. Let me know if you see any problems and thank you to the people taking the time to provide these localizations.


A Day With Mozilla

A month ago I found out that I had won a grand prize in the Extend Firefox contest and last week I met with Mozilla for a day of activities with the other winners: Michael Wu and Josep del Rio.

Web Developer 1.0.2

Version 1.0.2 of the Web Developer extension has been released. This is a patch release containing a few minor bug fixes.


Web Developer 1.0.1

Version 1.0.1 of the Web Developer extension has been released. This is a patch release containing a few minor bug fixes.

The localized build has also now been updated to the latest version. If you have already installed version 1.0 there should be no issues upgrading, but otherwise it is recommended to uninstall the previous version before upgrading.

Update: A couple of bugs have been discovered with the ‘Edit CSS’ feature so you may want to hold off on upgrading for the moment.

Update 2: The CSS bugs have been fixed and the extension has been replaced with the fixed version. I did not change the version number as the fix was minor, so if you have already installed this version you will need to re-install the extension.

Does Web Developer Have Too Many Features?

I have read a few posts online recently that started to make wonder if the Web Developer extension has too many features and that this feature overload is reducing the usability of the extension.

Relaxed

Petr Nalevka emailed me recently asking if I was interested in integrating the Relaxed HTML Validator into the Web Developer extension. I had not heard of this validator before, so I took a look and was impressed by what I saw.

Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery then I am honored by the beta release of the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar. While the AEVITA Web Inspector was a blatant rip-off, the IE Developer Toolbar, although clearly inspired by the Web Developer extension, is a separate and potentially useful tool.
