User Agent Switcher Archive

Web Developer 1.1.8 and User Agent Switcher 0.7.2

Upda­ted patch relea­ses for both the Web Deve­lo­per and User Agent Switcher exten­sions have been released.

This ver­sion of the Web Deve­lo­per exten­sion fixes an issue where the ‘View Gene­ra­ted Source’ fea­ture did not work as well, as com­bi­ning the Fire­fox and Sea­mon­key ver­sions of the exten­sion into one build. The User Agent Switcher exten­sion release should hope­fully fix the pro­blem with impor­ting user agents in nes­ted fol­ders once and for all.

Apo­lo­gies for the fre­quent upda­tes, but hope­fully these will be the final patch relea­ses before the next major relea­ses of the extensions.

Web Developer 1.1.7 and User Agent Switcher 0.7.1

Web Developer toolbarPatch relea­ses for both the Web Deve­lo­per and User Agent Switcher exten­sions have been relea­sed. These relea­ses add sup­port for Fire­fox 3.5 to the Web Deve­lo­per exten­sion and fix some minor issues with the recent update to the User Agent Switcher exten­sion — the full list of fixes can be found in the release notes.

User Agent Switcher 0.7

User Agent Switcher toolbarI have finally had the time to release a new ver­sion of the User Agent Switcher exten­sion. The main chan­ges in this release are the sup­port for fol­ders and sepa­ra­tors in the user agent list as well as indi­ca­ting a non-default user agent has been selec­ted by more than just the icon color. The user agent list has also been upda­ted to inc­lude both the Goo­gle­bot and the iPhone user agents.

A full set of release notes is available.

Web Developer 1.1.5 and User Agent Switcher 0.6.11

Biza­rrely (and rather emba­rras­singly) this is an almost iden­ti­cal post to my last post over 10 months ago. New ver­sions of the Web Deve­lo­per and User Agent Switcher exten­sions have been relea­sed. These relea­ses are mainly to add sup­port for the upco­ming Fire­fox 3, but also con­tain a few other bug fixes.

And just like my last post I have rede­sig­ned my site — I think everything is wor­king, but let me know if you see anything bro­ken. Maybe I will actually write some posts desc­ri­bing some of the new fea­tu­res like I pro­mi­sed last time.

Web Developer 1.1.4 and User Agent Switcher 0.6.10

New ver­sions of the Web Deve­lo­per and User Agent Switcher exten­sions have been relea­sed. They are both patch relea­ses fixing minor issues, as well as upda­ting the exten­sion down­load and update URLs to hope­fully help with my band­width costs.

If you are rea­ding this on chrispederick.com you will also see that I have rede­sig­ned my site. I am still wor­king out some of the kinks so let me know if you see anything funky and look for some blog posts in the future desc­ri­bing some of the new features.
