Latest Version (Firefox 3.0 through 3.6 compatible)
- Version 0.8.6 -- November 1, 2009
Download
New Features in 0.8.6:
- Very small two line change to be compatible with Firefox 3.6.
(Version 0.9.0 will be available in mid November, with many changes)
New Features in 0.8.5:
- Added additional buttons to the download list, available by user preference.
("Remove From List" added to Canceled, Failed, and Completed downloads. Completed downloads also have "Open Folder" if the folder exists and either "Delete File" or "Download" depending on whether the files still exists or has been deleted.)
(Note: If a file is downloaded inside Firefox, or deleted by the Delete File button, then the buttons that depend on a file or folder existing, both here and the ones in the toolbar, will be up to date. If a file or folder is deleted outside of Firefox then the buttons will not be automatically updated.) - Created new button icons so that old and new buttons have a matching look.
- Added an option to disable the additional download list buttons.
- Added "All files downloaded to:" the options dialog.
(This is copied from Tools->Options->Downloads so it isn't a new feature.) - The shortcut key (cntl-J) to show and remove the download window wasn't working to remove the tab and sidebar displays.
- Error console was logging many spurious errors during downloads about missing onProgressChange.
- Open Folder when file was deleted but folder still there didn't work.
New Features in 0.8.4:
- Supported Firefox versions are 3.0 thru 3.5.*.
- Firefox 3.5 was cutting off part of the options popups. Filler was added to stretch the window.
(This means the windows are bigger than needed in FireFox 3.0, but acceptable) - There are no new features or bug fixes, so the only reason to upgrade from 0.8.3 is for Firefox 3.5.
New Features in 0.8.3:
- Allow user to disable some of the theme related features of DMT.
(They sometimes interfere with user installed themes.) - The Launch button will sometimes become the Download button.
(For cancelled or failed downloads is is the same as retry. For completed downloads, where the file was deleted, it re-downloads the file.) - Hide the download options in menu for Tools->Options->Main.
(They are ignored by DMT and thus were confusing.) - The Delete File button will now prompt with the correct name for each file.
- The open after a delay and close after complete features had bugs.
New Features in previous 0.8.* releases:
- Many changes to be compatible with Firefox 3.0.
- New features of Firefox 3.0 download manager are available in Download Manager Tweak.
- Delete File button added to toolbar. Deletes a file you didn't want downloaded after all.
- Cleanup button on toolbar is now the Remove From List button.
(Firefox 3.0 has a cleanup button built in.) - Download button has been removed. Removing it makes room for the Delete File button.
(It was the same as the retry button built in to Firefox 3.0.) - Download tab view no longer shows From (source URL), To (destination path), or full date.
- Optional "InfoBar" added. It contains the From, To, and full date fields.
- Toolbar can adjust to narrow windows, and is now available in the sidebar view.
- The tab, sidebar, and window views are now the same, the sidebar is just a narrow window.
- Experimental download queue removed.
- Many internal changes to make the code easier to understand and maintain.
- German (de-DE) translation updated: LonelyPixel and gxg
- French (fr-FR) translation updated: Jive51
