Fluid 0.7 is out with a JavaScript Console, a JavaScript API for dock badges and Growl notifications and some bug fixes.

I need to document this much better, but it’s late, so here’s what the JS API looks like:

Oh… and some slightly bad news… all of your previous preferences, browsing history, and download history for each SSB will be lost again with this upgrade… sorry, I needed to reorganize a few things… there’s a reason this is a beta.

Speaking of betas… as of version 0.7, Fluid is not longer set to expire in March. Fluid is now Free as in Beer but still closed source. For the foreseeable future, this is how Fluid will be licensed. I reserve the right to change this at any point in the future to another model… but this much is certain, 0.7 (at least) will forever be free beer.

Running LOLInator on www.fluidapp.com produced this:

XMLMate, my free TextMate Plugin, is now an open source project (BSD) on Google Code.

A lot of the code in XMLMate duplicates the functionality in XML Nanny, which I open sourced last week, so there’s not a lot of new code here. Lots of libxml.

XMLMate this is the first TextMate plugin that I’m open sourcing (and the only open source TextMate Plugin? Note I said Plugin, not Bundle or Command… there are plenty of those). I’m sure there are many ways in which XMLMate communicates with TextMate proper that are at least a little bit brittle… so if anyone wants to jump in and make it better… be my guest.

Fluid 0.6 is out with RSS/Atom feed detection, draggable favicons, download support and more.

Fluid 0.5 is out with optional tabbed browsing, optional browsing to urls outside of an SSB’s “home” domain, browsing History menu, “unread count” dock badges for Facebook and Flickr and more!

Tabbed browsing brought to you in part by the fantastic PSMTabBarControl open source project by John Pannell!
