Fluid 1.0 April 30, 2011

Fluid 1.0 is a complete rewrite. Previous versions of Fluid and SSBs created from previous versions of Fluid cannot be upgraded to Fluid 1.0. To create Fluid Apps from Fluid 1.0, you will need to download the new version and create new Fluid Apps. This is a one-time change-over to a new codebase.

Fluid 1.0 remains a free application. However, you can now purchase a Fluid License for $4.99 which will unlock the following features:

1. Create Fluid Apps with Separate Cookie Storage. (Preferences → Security → Cookie Storage)
2. Pin Fluid Apps to the Mac OS X Status Bar. (Main Menu → Fluid App Menu → Pin to Status Bar…)
3. Use Userscripts or Userstyles in your Fluid Apps. (Main Menu → Window → Userscripts)
