![]() * Several changes to hopefully make running under 1.3.1 a little kinder, although it's still going to be lacking a lot of UI features. I added that solution in, and it fixed the problem! Should be much more long-term stable on OSX. Dan Caprioara on the osx java-dev group described the problem, and the solution. * Long-running JBidwatcher instances on MacOSX were running out of some kind of memory. Also a new 'My eBay' URL, which works FAR better than the tricks I used to do. * I'm using a new search URL, so searches are more consistently executed. * The 'Information' text is much cleaner now for ended items. There's a 'secret' configuration option to set, in the config file, to make it floating again if you really liked it. * The menu bar isn't a floating menu bar anymore, hopefully cleaning that up a bit. Items dropped in that tab, are now added to the 'current' (first) tab instead. * Dropping an auction in the 'completed' tab ended up with an item stuck in 'completed'. * URL's ending in '#' now trim the '#' off properly, so sniping and bidding work on them, and they don't look nasty in the display. * German and similar iso-8859-1 characters should be being displayed correctly now. * USD equivalent amount is now obtained even for items that had a reserve. This means that when your bid is under what it needs to be, JBidwatcher will no longer warn 'Unknown error', it will specify that your bid was too low. * Fixed bid result detection, errors are much more flexibly handled. * Fixed insurance detection, and detecting required / optional insurance. He provided a patch, but I'd heavily modified the code he was patching, so I took the idea, but not the code. * Shipping now detects the amounts properly, thanks to a suggestion from Sylvain Gil. * Performance should be a smidge better, also. * CMD-, on OSX pulls up the configuration tabs, and the eBay tab is now *second* in the list, instead of hidden at the end. Next will be printing of the 'Information' blocks. ![]() * You can print your auctions lists! It's not VERY useful, but it does work. * Searches are always saved when the save manager is closed, this prevents crashes or machine shutdowns from losing new searches. ![]() * New tabs now duplicate the 'layout' (column widths) of 'main', instead of being set to useless default values. This allows users to create a 'Won' and 'Lost' tab, for instance. * Send To now works for completed auctions, setting them 'sticky', so they stay in their new homes until they're moved by user action. * Added a 'Nuke Tab' which deletes all the entries in the tab, AND deletes the tab itself. Sorry about the quick re-release, but I hadn't put the 'upgrade!' message out yet, so I decided to roll it in before the majority of users upgraded. It's been a good, solid, long time since my last release, and I think this one makes good strides forward. 0.9.3.1 should fix the shipping value being recognized (again!), and the 0.9.3 version fixed several problems with recognizing bids that either were not successful, or were but with some caveats (over/under reserve), and many other changes. JBidwatcher 0.9.3 was finally let loose, only to find that eBay had recently changed their shipping info block, just a tiny bit, which broke the new version.
