Interclue 1.5.2 Released ahead of schedule

Todays big news is the release of version 1.5.2 - it’s out a little bit sooner than we intended, and without many new features, because, as many of you will have noticed, after installing Firefox 2.0.0.12, the Interclue Options Dialog suddenly stopped working!

After getting several reports about this, Karl located the problem, created a work-around, and submitted a bugzilla report to the Firefox team. A patch for the bug was posted *5 hours* later - pretty amazing response time, but of course the patch will not have any effect until a new version of Firefox is rolled out, so users of version 2.0.0.12 are urged to update Interclue as soon as possible. Here is the bugzilla ticket if anyone is interested:

There are also a few new linkclues, a bunch of improvements to the tutorial to make it simpler and faster, and a number of small tweaks and bugfixes to improve the all-around user experience.

New Features in 1.5.2

• Linkclues for non-HTTP protocols (ftp, gopher, aim, torrent, …)
• A new Metaclue: “Show Downloadable Files” (off by default)
