new version of tsvn menu extension for firefox 3
As I mentioned in my open source pledge, I’ve switched from Windows to Ubuntu Linux as my main development environment. I’m very happy with the switch overall, but the one piece of software I really miss is TortoiseSVN!
It also means I haven’t had a chance to test my TortoiseSVN Menu extension with Firefox 3. I’ve compiled a new version of the extension but not yet uploaded it to the Mozilla Addons site. I need help to test it with Firefox 3 and TortoiseSVN 1.5, since I’ve only had a chance to make sure that it installs properly.
If you would like to help me test the extension with Firefox 3 and/or TortoiseSVN 1.5, please download it from here and then reply back to this blog post with your results. Once I’ve gotten a few people to test it out I’ll upload it to the official AMO site.
- Install TortoiseSVN Menu Extension for Firefox 3. (See below: you should install directly from AMO by logging in and choosing the “Experimental” version 0.2.3). You will need to right-click the extension and choose “Save As”, save to your hard drive, then install to FF3 locally (easiest way is to drag onto the FF3 window).
UPDATE 1, July 9 2008: I have uploaded the new version to addons.mozilla.org (AMO), but it will remain marked “Experimental” until it’s reviewed (See Update 2). You must be logged in to view or download experimental plugins. You can help move along the review process by writing a review on the AMO site.
UPDATE 2, Aug 5 2009: I hope to have the Firefox 3.5 version of the extension out soon; see comments below. Also, per negative feedback to AMO on their “experimental” status for new versions, the extension is no longer marked as such and can be downloaded without logging in.
