  1. @Ryan:

    FYI, social web browser Flock has a new version ready for download – Flock 1.0.5.

    Omar.-

  2. The PDF XChange release was way more than a bugfix release. They added two major features: a portable version, and a plugin for Firefox.

    You can’t use the “live update” feature in your current installation to install the plugin, you have to download the installer.

    The plugin works perfectly for me.

  3. Thanks Omar! Will include it tomorrow.

    @Joe: I saw the thing about the Firefox plugin in the release notes, but nothing on portability?

  4. @Ryan:

    FYI, WordPress has a new version 2.3.2. WordPress 2.3.2 is an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose your draft posts. 2.3.2 also suppresses some error messages that can give away information about your database table structure and limits and stops some information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations.

  5. Thanks for the tip Omar, but we did already write about that update a few days ago: [cybernetnews.com]

    You even commented on that post regarding Rainlendar. ;)
