New version of the Gmail Checker extension is available now, though I've made it as a beta release first since there were some significant changes. It now uses the new SQL storage of Firefox2 to keep the configuration information, and you can also mark a mail as spam via the extension instead of going to Gmail. The latter feature was implemented to save me some seconds going to Gmail just to report spam.

Update (14/2/07)

Beta2 is available. New features can be referred from this post's comments. There were no bug fixes. I feel proud.

It's 24^th Dec, and here is the patch for version 1.3.2 of the news script. If you haven't ever used the custom publishing date feature or bothered about W3C HTML standard compliance, you wouldn't notice the problems :P

The concept of OpenID is so interesting that I'll probably implement it in the next major version of the news script, say 2.0, to provide multi-user support. I have already written a basic OpenID client, just for testing purposes. You can try it out here in case you're curious.

While waiting for Firefox 2 with a built-in spell checker, I've decided to make my own one. It uses the good old PSpell library. If the checker works well, I'll implement it in the new version of the news script.

Feedback for Opera and Safari is welcome 'cause I don't use them.
