New in Fluid 1.0 (May 2, 2011)

  • 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.

New in Fluid 0.9.6 (Mar 2, 2009)

  • FluidInstance.app: FIX for crasher when attaching files when Safari4 is installed
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX SSB browser window minimum width returned to 180px which is friendlier for iphone-optimized sites

  • FluidInstance.app: FIX drag/reordering tabs now works correctly (Before they were not *truly* reordered and you would see strange behavior when using keyboard shortcuts for next/prev tab)

  • FluidInstance.app: NEW added 'Download Linked File As...' context menu item
  • FluidInstance.app: NEW Preference: Hide all windows while not active
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX return of the 'Look up in Dictionary' context menu item for defining terms in Dictionary.app

New in Fluid 0.9.5 (Dec 1, 2008)

  • Fluid.app: Fluid.app now correctly prefers "fluid-icon"s or "apple-touch-icon"s explicitly declared via "link" elements over a file named "apple-touch-icon.png" in the web root.
  • Fluid.app: Fluid.app no longer allows you to create an SSB with the name of a default Apple application (like "Mail" or "Dictionary", etc.) in the "/Applications" Folder. You can still create an SSB with one of these names, just not in the "/Applications" folder. You can still manually move it to the Applications Folder after creation if you like. This prevents accidentally overwriting default Apple apps.
  • FluidInstance.app: Fixed an extremely annoying issue where certain keypresses would cause system Beep (especially bothersome in Google Reader SSB when typing GReader keyboard shortcuts).
  • FluidInstance.app: Fixed shortcut recorder bug where the global shortcut would not be registered until the General Preferences Pane is shown for the first time.
  • FluidInstance.app: User-selected "Continuous Spell Checking" setting now persists across launches.
  • FluidInstance.app: Growl Notifications are now visible while in FullScreen Mode.
  • FluidInstance.app: Click-through/non-activattion support added for dragging the favicon from background windows.
  • FluidInstance.app: More accurate default User-Agent String (includes correct WebKit version number, OS X version number and machine processor type).
  • FluidInstance.app: Shortcuts now also support "$1", "$2" regex-style indexed replacements. e.g.: shortcut: "tu" replacement string: "twitter.com/$1,twitter.com/$2". Type command "tu itod fluidapp" in location bar. This will result in two tabs opening one for the "itod" twitter profile page and one for the "fluidapp" twitter profile page.
  • FluidInstance.app: "Search in Google" context menu item now works correctly (it used to open Safari).
  • FluidInstance.app: Adding JavaScript fluid.isGrowRunning() method. returns true if Growl notifications can currently be displayed. otherwise false.
  • FluidInstance.app: Fixed issue where Gmail SSB would sometimes erroneously close the main window when deferring browsing to your system default browser and 'Hidden' closed windows is enabled.
  • FluidInstance.app: Fixed issue where popup windows of a small size (created by window.open() with width and height features specified) would erroneously cause SSB to use that small size when creating the next new window.
  • FluidInstance.app: successive clicks on a link with target="foo" will correctly open the exising window with the frame named "foo" rather than creating a new window.
  • FluidInstance.app: improved support for window.open() features.
  • FluidInstance.app: Added new Safari 3.2.1 and Firefox 3.0.4 User-agent strings.
  • FluidInstance.app: Improved behavior for autocomplete/recent URL popup menu in the browser location bar.
  • FluidInstance.app: Tab switching via command-{ and command-} is no longer slow. dunno why :O.
  • FluidInstance.app: Infinite Loop Detection. If your SSB is your default web browser, it will no longer enter an infinite loop when asked to visit a URL which it will defer to the system default browser.
  • FluidInstance.app: MenuExtra SSBs now show installed userscripts in their context menu (the menu that is activated by right clicking the MenuExtra scon in the system status bar). This allows you to more easily activate/deactivate userscripts in a MenuExtra SSB.
  • FluidInstance.app: New "Search" Preference Pane offers the ability to enhance Google SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages) with thumbnail image previews of results.
  • BrowsaBrowsaPlugIn: Toolbar Icons for Flickr, BrightKite, Google Reader, and FriendFeed.
  • BrowsaBrowsaPlugIn: New option for "Navigation Bar is always hidden". Nice for those sites (like Hahlo.com) where the "navbar appears when moused over" option is annoying.
  • BrowsaBrowsaPlugIn: Improved UserAgent String behavior and fixed some UAString UI glitches.
  • ThumbnailPlugIn: Fixed resolution of URLs beginning with "https://".

New in Fluid 0.9.4.1 (Sep 15, 2008)

  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: fixed bug that originated in 0.9.4 where Userscripts were executed multiple times each time the page loaded.

New in Fluid 0.9.3 (Aug 13, 2008)

  • FluidInstance.app: Userstyles!
  • FluidInstance.app: Improved shortcuts. Now you can have a shortcut without parameters (e.g. "g" for google.com). This does not interfere with parameterized shortcuts with the same value. (e.g. "g fluid" will still activate google.com/search?q=fluid) Fluid is smart enough to realize if you want the "g" shortcut with parameters or the "g" without parameters by checking for params in your shortcut string. So you can have a parameterized and non-parameterized shortcut of the same string.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: improved behavior for top splitview plugins.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: better sort ordering for recent urls in the location bar popup.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Fixed bug where attempt to close a window (by clicking red x) when single window browsing mode is enabled would only close one tab.

  • BrowsaBrowsaPlugIn: Custom icons for plugins with home urls for : twitter.com, hahlo.com, digg.com, socialthing.com
  • BrowsaBrowsaPlugIn: Userscripts execute against webviews in BrowsaBrowsa PlugIns

New in Fluid 0.9.2.4 (Jul 28, 2008)

  • FluidInstance.app: Global Keyboard shortcuts (Look in General Preferences Pane).
  • FluidInstance.app: New Window style: MobileMeMetalic Olive Chic!.
  • FluidInstance.app: Toggle on/off Browser Window Shadow (look in Appearance Preferences -- might be interesting for Chromeless windows).
  • FluidInstance.app: Changeable Downloads Folder.
  • FluidInstance.app: Automatic '.com' appendage to URLs when the page load otherwise failed. (e.g. entering "cnn" in location bar will now take you to "http://cnn.com")
  • FluidInstance.app: Added tiny URL resolution for http://bit.ly URLs
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Alert/Info dialogs now show the correct SSB application icon rather than generic app icon (this was broken in 0.9.2.2) Note, this wont work immediately after changing icons or after SSB is initially created. in those cases, a restart of the SSB is required before dialog shows correct icon.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Preferences window in "Show All" mode now displays correct SSB app name in the window title (before it confusingly always said "FluidInstance").
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Command-W now closes tabs for MenuExtra SSBs (as you'd expect).
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Better behavior for the highlighting of Status Items in the system Status Bar for MenuExtra SSBs and Embedded SSBs.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Improved rendering of bookmark bar buttons in custom themes (before they were *really* ugly).
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Fixed crazy bug where location bar auto-complete popup list would randomly popup when you were typing in other text fields.

New in Fluid 0.9.2.3 (Jul 2, 2008)

  • FluidInstance.app: New window style: Chromeless.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: You can now specify Spaces Behavior for MenuExtra SSBs.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Fixed issue where MenuExtra SSBs would erroneously create extra invisible WebViews that would cause duplicate userscript execution or dupe music playing in Pandora SSBs.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: fluid.dockBadge = null; works again.

New in Fluid 0.9.2.2 (Jun 30, 2008)

  • Fluid.app and FluidInstance.app: FIX: Much improved reliability for custom icon creation/changing and custom icon retention thru software updates.
  • Fluid.app and FluidInstance.app: Can now select an application bundle (.app file) or *any* other file as the provider of your SSB's custom icon. The icon for the selected file (as seen in the Finder, whatever it may be) will be used for your SSB.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Improved Printing Support.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: changing SSB icon (in General Preferences) is more reliable, no longer requires a restart, and also immediately changes the MenuExtra SSB icon.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Toggling FullScreen mode no longer requires a reload of the page from the server (just a local data reload which is super fast and cheap).
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Entering FullScreen respects what screen the frontmost browser window is in (last version always forced fullscreen mode into the Main Menubar screen).
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Single Window Browsing Mode: Any attempt by JavaScript to close the current window now closes the current tab instead.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Single Window Browsing Mode: When a new tab is opened by a targeted link (IWO, a new tab that would have been a new window in normal mode), it is brought to the front by default just like as if it had popped up as a window. (These tabs had been instead obeying the 'open new tabs in background' preference from the Tabs Pref pane... that pref should be overridden in this case.)
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Single Window Browsing Mode: Any attempt by JavaScript to resize the current window should not succeed.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: No longer dispaying errors in a small popup alert (this is default behavior for OmniAppkit which I just updated to the latest version in Fluid 0.9.2.1. I forgot to turn it off.).
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: When displaying visible Plug-ins for a new window, an SSB no longer throws an error if a plug-in is missing.
  • Thumbnail Plug-in: FIX: Muxtape thumbnails are correctly generated. Problem here was that Muxtape generates its pages with JavaScript, and in the last release I turned off JavaScript for the WebViews that render the thumbnail web images. Now there is a configurable .plist file in the Thumbnail plugin that contains URL Patterns for URLs that should have their thumbnails generated with JS on.

New in Fluid 0.9.2.1 (Jun 26, 2008)

  • FluidInstance.app: Changeable SSB Application Icons (look in General Preferences).
  • FluidInstance.app: Single Window Browsing Mode (General Preferences). Actually this is more correctly called "TargetedLinksCreateTabs" and means that any website which attempts to spawn a new browser window will create a new tab in the current window instead. The user may still create new windows with cmd-N.
  • FluidInstance.app: True Full Screen Browsing Mode. cmd-opt-F. (Window menu -> Toggle Full Screen Mode)
  • FluidInstance.app: Change to Embedded SSBs. Now they can be made to obey your "Spaces Behavior" preference (appear in all or not). This is cool cuz you can set a different Embedded SSB in each Space for a different background in each. Unfortunately, this means that by default Embedded SSBs don't work with Expose quite the way I have demonstrated. However, you can reclaim that Expose behavior by changing the Spaces Behavior setting to "Windows Appear in All Spaces"
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Fix for the missing MenuExtra icon if there's no favicon or custom icon (Defaults to DotMac-style blue globe).
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Session Restore works in MenuExtra and Embedded SSBs again (broken in 0.9.2 release).
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Fixed issue where sometimes the Plug-in Preference Panes would not appear in the Preferences Window.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Fixed issue where you couldn't drag a browser window by the chrome at the bottom (status bar chrome).

  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Block PopUp Windows is on by default.
  • FluidInstance.app: FIX: Accept Cookies "Only from sites you naviagate to" is on by default (rather than "Always").
  • FluidInstance.app Plugin-API: FIX: Support for dragging splitview plugins all the way out to fill the entire browser window (they render properly now after the window is resized).
  • Thumbnail Plug-in: Significantly improved load time/UI response time performance.
  • Thumbnail Plug-in: When refreshing the current page to reload the thumbnails, the selected index is preserved.
  • Thumbnail Plug-in: Adding built-in URL Pattern for Microsoft's live.com search engine.

New in Fluid 0.9.2 (Jun 16, 2008)

  • Fluid.app: FIX: If you create ssb with a .icns icon, a menu extra icon is correctly created (previously it was not).
  • Fluid.app: FIX: Fixed bug where custom icons indicated by link rel="apple-touch-icon" ... or link rel="fluid-icon" ... that were not placed in the root dir of the site were not actually used (base URL resolution bug).
  • FluidInstance.app: NEW: Embedded SSBs (SSB app menu -> Convert to Embedded SSB).
  • FluidInstance.app: NEW: Tiny URL resolution. Right-click any compressed URL and select 'Resolve Tiny URL'. Supported services: tinyurl.com, is.gd, moourl.com, xrl.us, s3nt.com, twurl.nl, ping.fm, rubyurl.com, peaurl.com, urltea.com, snipurl.com, rurl.org, dwarfurl.com, kurl.nl, tinypic.com, shorl.com, digbig.com, snurl.com, shurl.net, doiop.com, shorttext.com, 301url.com.
  • FluidInstance.app: Location bar/search field split view (in browser window toolbars) persists its split position across windows/launches.
  • FluidInstance.app: Fix: control-clicking a MenuExtra SSB in the status bar now shows context menu (before, only right clicking with the mouse would work).
  • FluidInstance.app: Fix: Improved behavior for Hidden Windows feature added in 0.9.1.5.
  • FluidInstance.app: Fix: Improved behavior for setting an SSB as your default browser. Clicking links in other applications now launches the page correctly in the default browser SSB.
  • FluidInstance.app: Fix: Clicking the tiny 'x' button in a browser tab selects the *next* tab instead of the previous tab after closing (matching behavior or cmd-W and other browsers).
  • FluidInstance.app: Fix: Fixed issue where running software update on a MenuExtra SSB would leave the SSB in an inconsistent state - erroneously appearing with a main menu.
  • FluidInstance.app: Fix: Fixed issue where SSB scrollbars wouldn't respect 'scroll to here' setting from System Preferences.
  • FluidInstance.app: Fix: Page title is rendered in the titlebar for windows with the 'Black (HUD)' style appearance.
  • BrowsaBrowsa Plug-in: FIX: Fixing BrowsaBrowsa plugin to not be borked when appearing in a drawer.
  • Clipboard Plug-in: Removed. meh.

New in Fluid 0.9.1.5 (Jun 4, 2008)

  • Fluid.app: Fix: Now generates true 512x512 Icons (note that sometimes Finder doesn't reload icons, so you may need to throw away your old apps and move the new file around to see the icon in Finder the first time).
  • Fluid.app: Now you can specify a local already-made .icns file in addition to image files to be converted.
  • FluidInstance.app: MenuExtra SSBs Toggling has been moved from the Preferences Window to the SSB Application main menu.

  • FluidInstance.app: Splitview plugins now remember their split positions in new windows/across launches.
  • BrowsaBrowsa Plug-in: New Plug-in places an extra WebView in a splitview or drawer.
  • Thumbnail Plug-in: Now uses the SSB's custom User-agent string (if you've set one) for all thumbnail requests.
  • Thumbnail Plug-in: Updated CSS link selector for Reddit.
  • Thumbnail Plug-in: Added CSS link selector for Muxtape.

  • FluidInstance.app: Added support for ?} and ?{ tab switching to complement the existing ??? and ???.
  • FluidInstance.app: Switched Tiny URL services from TinyURL to is.gd (shorter == better) ("Create Tiny URL for this Page..." in File Menu or context menu when you right click a link).

  • FluidInstance.app: New Theme: Bringin' Sexy Black
  • FluidInstance.app: Userscripts linked from Userscripts.org are now installed just like all other Userscripts: via a sheet that prompts you for installation. (previously Userscripts linked from userscripts.org were installed differently - as a download.)

  • FluidInstance.app: Plug-ins appearing in split views and drawers now remember their visible state in new windows and across lanches. (If a plugin is visible in a splitview or drawer in the current window, if you open a new window, it will be visible in the new window as well).
  • FluidInstance.app: Plug-ins appearing in split views now maintain constant width/height as the browser window is resized.
