Operator 0.6.2 beta Available

Per my social contract, I am making 0.6.2 beta available before placing it on addons.mozilla.org.

It's available at http://www.kaply.com/operator/operator.xpi

Significant items in this release include:

  • Fix for the tabbing interaction bugs
  • Options menu added to statusbar and toolbar button menu
  • xFolk support (needs to be added explicitly in Options if you are not a new install)
  • tag support for ma.gnolia.com
  • Improvements to adding calendar entries
  • include-pattern support for hCard and hCalendar
  • Implied "n" optimization for hCards
  • Improved debugging dialogs to use text area instead of alerts so they can handle large data and can be copied
  • When debug mode is on, microformats with invalid items are bolded
  • When debug mode is off, invalid microformat errors are placed in the Error console
  • I have tested this release significantly, including running JSLint against all code, testing migration from Operator 0.5 and 0.6.1, as well as starting a test suite. If you find problematic pages, please add them to the test suite.

    Please report bugs here.

    Thanks!

      When the status bar icon is disabled (i.e. when no microformats have been detected) it doesn't do anything at all, so it would make sense for it just not to appear.

      I was on rosebank.org in actions mode and everything was grayed out (but the toolbar showed that it had detected the microformats) I set to microformat mode and it works fine...

      Stephen:

      Did you have the default actions set on the toolbar?

      Here's what the graying was (although it shouldn't happen on rosebank.org)

      I added a feature to Operator so that handlers could indicate that they required a particular element in a microformat. So for instance, add to google calendar requires dtstart.

      If you are in Actions mode, there might be a case where an particular microformat is available, but the actins specified can't be executed. A good example of this is:

      http://ocono.com/

      The vevents on this site are links to upcoming.org, so they don't have dtstart. Google Calendar is enabled, but the links are disabled.

      Hope that helps.
