Fluid 0.9.2.2 is out now, and this release is all about improved stability and bug fixes, sans new features… consider this Fluid’s “Snow Leopard” release ;0]

Some highlights:

• Improved reliability for changing SSB icons from General Preferences pane.
• Improved printing support.
• Improved FullScreen behavior.
• Improved Single Window Browsing Mode behavior.
• Fixed support for displaying Muxtape playlists in the Thumbnail Plug-in.

I wanna share two really great Fluid screencasts created this week by two different Fluid users. The first is an introduction to using Fluid from Don McAllister of ScreenCastsOnline. The second is from Fluid user Yatil, and is a tutorial on creating a Fluid-based desktop Twitter client with no API request limit using the mobile Twitter site and a Userscript.

Hi all, Fluid 0.9.2.1 will be shipping very shortly. Unfortunately, when upgrading your old Fluid SSBs through the Software Update facility it may briefly appear as though your SSB has lost it’s custom icon after restarting. In fact, your SSB will retain it’s icon, and a little “jiggle of the handle” will fix the issue. The screencast below shows how to very easily deal with the issue.

In order to ease the pain a bit, I’ve even added the ability to change the SSB custom icon after creation (look in General Preferences). Also included in the new version is true Full Screen support, Single Window Browsing Mode (sites which attempt to spawn new windows spawn new tabs instead), improved performance for Cover Flow browsing in the Thumbnail Plug-in and more.
