An hectic day














Yesterday was an hectic day for us. First, we released our latest plugin version. This was mainly due to Gmail Greasemonkey API deprecation. It took us a full week to become mostly independent from this API. In the process, we added:
  • a lot of optimizations regarding CPU and memory usages;
  • automatic update of the underlying XPI - if you are not sure that you have the last version, please update a last time by clicking here. From now on, updates will be automatic;
  • invoice detection;
  • two new buttons :"Add to Kwaga" which add an email to your ToDo list (if it's an inbound mail) or to your Following list (if it's an outbound mail) and "Never Mind" which reset ToDo or Following status from a mail.
Then Google released Google Buzz - and we finally understood WHY the Gmail Greasemonkey API was broken and why we had to rewrite it: your Kwaga plugin will keep working even if you already have Google Buzz activated, as you can see from my own inbox. You might lose some Kwaga buttons, but be assured that they'll come back sometime today or tomorrow.

Finally, and this just a teasing, we launch our next development iteration. This will be a new way to get the Kwaga experience WITHOUT any plugin. More on this later.
