Open Beta: LiveClick 0.5.0.0
LiveClick 0.5.0.0 has no new features. It is essentially the same as the previous version of LiveClick, except that it is fully functional on Firefox 13 and has been rewritten for better compatibility and performance. My most recent article explains this.
Before installing this new version, I strongly advise you to backup your bookmarks, especially if you use any syncing tools like Firefox Sync or Xmarks. If you encounter any problems, LiveClick will attempt to self-correct when you next restart Firefox. Otherwise, you may need to restore your bookmarks. Note: once the sync sticks, there are usually no further issues; I’m still looking into this. Comments on this and any other part of 0.5.0.0 are appreciated.

Firefox 13 and LiveClick
Those of you on the Firefox Beta Channel have already discovered that LiveClick doesn’t work on Firefox 13. This is due to three major changes in Firefox: 1) Live Bookmarks are loaded “on demand,” instead of Firefox checking for new items in the background; 2) Live Bookmarks are handled asynchronously, which prevents Firefox from locking up whenever feed items are stored or accessed; and 3) Live Bookmark items are no longer considered “bookmarks,” speeding up the display of and searches for actual bookmarks. The basic rationale for these changes is presented here by the developer who eventually coded them. The reasons all make perfect sense, with respect to improving Firefox’s overall performance. Unfortunately, the changes all conflict with how LiveClick operates. So what does this mean for LiveClick going forward?

There are no new features in this one, but it is recommended that you update to it, even if you weren’t experiencing any problems. As always, I appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have. Thanks!

LiveClick 0.4.0.0
After a lengthy development and several beta tests, the final version of LiveClick 0.4.0.0 is now available for download. Much of the code was rewritten to accomplish several new features, notably an improved live bookmark checker and scheduler, the ability to style parent folders like their child livemarks, and a LiveClick toolbar button for one-click checking. Note that these changes may conflict with other addons that manage live bookmarks. Please let me know if you encounter any problems with LiveClick 0.4.0.0.

Designing the Toolbar Button Icons
LiveClick 0.4.0.0 Beta 2 is now available for download and with it comes a slightly-revised look for the LiveClick toolbar button. This is by no means the final design, but the button is getting closer to the functionality I originally envisioned.

Open Beta: LiveClick 0.4.0.0
Because the next version of LiveClick contains several significant changes, I’m asking our bravest users to beta test it before I release it to the general public. Be warned that you may encounter unexpected problems with this beta. If you accept this challenge, remember to leave me feedback (positive, negative, or even neutral) in the comments. I can’t fix problems without people telling me about them. The new additions to LiveClick 0.4.0.0 include the toolbar button, optimized checking, and parent folder styling.

LiveClick 0.3.8.0
LiveClick 0.3.8.0 fixes a bug from the previous release where monitored Live Bookmarks failed to alert on new items. I’m still not clear why some users had issues with the previous version, but I rigorously double-checked the code and had dozens of people test this build without any reported problems. Please let me know if you encounter any problems with LiveClick 0.3.8.0.
