DeliciousSafari 1.7

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Version 1.7 of DeliciousSafari is available. Many bug fixes, performance enhancements, and new features are included in this release. Special thanks to the 60 beta testers who tracked down and reported bugs to make this a solid release.

Changes

  • URL icons (favicon) are displayed next to bookmarks
  • Added a toolbar button for saving bookmarks
  • Added spell checking to the Name and Notes fields
  • Fixed tag suggestions on Tiger that stopped working with Delicious.com 2.0
  • Increased maximum length of Notes field to 1000 to take advantage of new maximum allowed by Delicious.com 2.0
  • Bookmark saving is faster (now processed in the background so you don’t have to wait for the save to complete)
  • Safari startup is faster (tag menu is now generated on the fly, rather than when Safari starts)
  • Improved reliability of Import Bookmarks from Safari
  • Fixed several issues that prevented DeliciousSafari from loading on some computers
  • No longer a SIMBL plug-in
  • Added Invalid Credential notification when your Delicious password has changed and needs to be updated in DeliciousSafari
  • Checks for Delicious updates every 15 minutes in case you add Delicious bookmarks through something other than DeliciousSafari
  • Logout really works now (it used to leave your username and password in the keychain)
  • Menu item text is now truncated in the middle if the text is longer than 60 characters
  • DeliciousSafari now opens a Safari window if there isn’t one, rather than doing nothing

As SIMBL is no longer needed you can delete it from /Library/InputManagers/SIMBL, but only do so if you know you have no other SIMBL plug-ins, otherwise those plug-ins will stop working.

DeliciousSafari 1.3

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

Version 1.3 of DeliciousSafari is now available. Tag completion, the most requested feature, is in there. Also, a major performance bug when dealing with large sets of bookmarks is fixed.

Changes

  • Tag completion when saving bookmarks (this is the most requested feature following the initial release).
  • Big performance gain creating the del.icio.us menu. This was causing Safari to load slowly and a spinning beach ball when posting new bookmarks. Everything should be lightning fast now. On my machine, the menu creation routine went from a 2.3 second operation to a 0.02 second operation. I repeat – DeliciousSafari should have NO noticeable impact on Safari performance.
  • Bookmarks are now sorted by name within each tag.
  • Expanded compatibility for auto generated bookmark titles that contain HTML character entities. This means math symbols, greek letters, and other characters will show up as expected, rather than as some weird HTML code like รน.
