Lektora 1.0 released as a free Firefox plugin..

Version 1.0 of the Lektora plugin for Firefox has been released, and contrary to their prior statements, the plugin is now free. Well, there are ads inserted into the ‘newspaper’, albeit only a couple per page on average. For a small fee, you can register the plugin and have the ads removed; very similar to Opera’s model…

FYI, I kept getting an installation warning, that said I had to have Firefox 1.0 installed for it to work; well, of course I had just upgraded to FF 1.0.2 prior to trying Lektora, so apparently there are some version detection issues. Just click OK and install, it should work fine.

‘Another’ VS2005 Delay?

I’m a little confused; according to eWeek, Microsoft is delaying the releases of Whidbey and Yukon again; they will be released simultaneously. Hmmm, I thought it was a given that Whidbey would not be out until September (in a previous post of mine). I know Yukon, last I heard, was shipping in July-ish timeframe.

Anyhow, as there are quotes from Microsoft in this article, I would take this as the latest news…ah, remember when it was supposed to ship last year? 🙂

Firefox and Thunderbird 1.0.2 Released

Mozilla has released versions 1.0.2 of Firefox and Thunderbird; mainly just some performance and security enhancements, but even with little fanfare, you should always keep up-to-date. They can both be dowloaded here.
