Tom Green Live! 0.8.5 finally released

After some extra hours, days of recoding the whole thing, implementing and testing new features, Mozilla finally approved version 0.8.5 of Tom Green Live! Firefox extension. Thanks to all that helped me write better code!

For the impatient : Download from addons.mozilla.org

or visit TomGreenLive! sub page here

And for the curious and or bored people :

Coding standards for Firefox extensions were set up a notch, and I had to rewrite quite everything, additionally i wanted to add new features. This all resulted in i think four or five rejections in a row from Mozilla Addons Team. ( what a hassle that was รด_0 )

It works like this : You code an update version, you send it to addons.mozilla.org and they finally approve or deny it.

Well , since i really only code JavaScript for this application I had to learn some new tricks here and there (anti namespace pollution with JSON and better preference handling in Firefox but finally it turned out to be good and worth it.

Learning new stuff is always fun and even if this extensions only use would be to educate me, it has served it’s purpose very well.
