Back to the ‘Bug
I’ve actually been back from a brief 2 week hiatus for a couple of weeks now, trying to get my head back in the swing of things. The pace of Firebug development continues unabated. Honza is busy back-porting some Net panel changes from 1.4 to 1.3. We expect a final release of Firebug 1.3 sometime next week. John Barton says the new improved viewport code for the Script panel is looking solid.
While that’s cooking, Firebug 1.4 is going into its 7th alpha with even more tasty goodness included in the Net panel — we’re considering renaming it to the Honza panel, or maybe just putting an icon of Honza’s face in there. It’s got that much Honza in it. Also, John Barton has added some new Script panel improvements and performance enhancements. Scrolling should be even smoother and there’s a new “break-on-next” debugging feature which, at the moment, as almost sure to break things in new and exciting ways. Feel free to try it out at the usual place: http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.4.
John Resig and Honza have been working on getting Fireunit ready for prime-time as well. Over the next month, I plan on integrating that with some revamped build scripts to get our unittest environment running.
Now I’d like to reintroduce the Firebug Development Blog. It’s been freshly reminted and the links should finally work again on the getfirebug.com website. Expect updates from the team about new features and usage tips as well as developer-related information like API changes. If you’re into Firebug, you’ll want to add that feed to your reader of choice.
