Movie Ratings v1.4 out now!

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

Version 1.4 of Movie Ratings has been released. There is not much change in this version. The last release was supposed to be the final release before it goes public, but I guess nothing is ever “final”. Hopefully this release is as close as I can get. :-) Changes include:

  • You can now change the context menu text from the Options button in Tools->Add-ons.
  • Small UI changes.
  • Numerous bug fixes.

Enjoy!

Please continue testing the extension. You can get it from here: Firefox Add-On Sand Box

Movie Ratings v1.3 out now!

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Version 1.3 of the Movie Ratings Firefox extension has been released. This is hopefully the last major release of the extension before I release it publicly. A lot has changed under the covers as the extension has gone through a complete rewrite to fix some bugs that were found, and to make it more stable. Changes include:

  • Complete rewrite. More stable.
  • UI changes.
  • Now able to get the rating for text in a text box.
  • Added a time out message if search takes longer than 8 seconds.
  • Extra rating information is now shown in a tool tip when mouse is over the rating box.
  • User settings for hiding the tray icon and changing how the rating box closes are now available through the “Options” link for Movie Rating in the Add-On Manager located under Tools->Add-Ons.
  • Bug fixes.

Please continue testing the extension. You can get it from here: Firefox Add-On Sand Box

UPDATE: Already found a bug. If a movie does not have a consensus review then “null” is displayed where the consensus review would be. This is not a major bug so it will be addressed in the next version.
