JBidwatcher 0.9.8
Greetings,
Just a note; I believe you're in for a treat with 0.9.8. It's got a LOT of cool new features, this time even some for the Windows users out there. Hmmm, could it be the single most requested platform-specific feature ever...? I'm really ratcheting in on 1.0, and if I can crank out some good documentation, I might be there before the end of the year. :)

Some noticable new features in 0.9.8 include:

  • The ability for me to put up 'fixes' that JBidwatcher automatically consumes, for when eBay changes something that can be fixed with just a config or string change.
  • I can also put up one-time messages to alert of problems w/o putting out a new version.
  • Updates are put on hold while sniping or bidding is being performed, which should speed up sniping/bidding some.
  • There's a 'PayPal' icon for auctions which appear to support payment or deposits via PayPal.
  • We have some new custom columns: 'Location', 'Feedback %' and 'Feedback' (of the item/seller, of course).
...and obviously, the fix for searching and drag-and-drop.

Unfortunately, due to some issues with Sourceforge, I didn't get the version out tonight. It'll take me a bit, because my time management sucks during the week, so it might be Monday or Tuesday night before I get to release it. It's not an emergency, since bidding and sniping still work.

Would you accept assistance doing JBidwatcher? I was thinking specifically of the documentation part.

Cheers, Liam

Greetings,
I'll be working on a release tonight; I hope it works well, I took it on myself to try and speed it up a bit here and there, as a lot of folks were complaining about it being slower in 0.9.7[.1] than before. It doesn't appear to me that I broke anything.
