Its not there for me either, all being in the queue means, is that the app was submitted to the autobuilder, the build was successfull and that it will show up in extras-devel eventually.

Awesome!

I'll check back later tonight!

Thanks again for packaging this together for us!

No more unrelenting, obsessive upgrade your penis advertisements while surfing the net, I can't wait! :D

Wow. Ten hours later and stupid autobuilder queue hasn't chucked out your latest version for us to download yet.

Somebody should punch that thing right in her floppy drive. :)

You may know this already but, the device will only check for new updates in any of your configured repositories ( extras-devel being one of these ) once a day unless you force it to do otherwise :) Just clicking on 'Check for Updates' does not force this check ( even thought it says checking for updates ) you must also click on the toolbar icon bottom right to force a re-read of the repositories.

The package has been there since last night :)

Yesssss... this time it works ! (not on first try though, but second or third... :-)
The user interface is much better and easier to understand. And now the local hosts file *does* update. The effect on surfing is quite drastic (similar to having adblock in Firefox, except it works with *any* browser : Micro-B, Tear etc.).

Thanks again rcull !

0.9.0-1 worked for me as well. I like the new UI and the browser is noticeably faster without AdBlock. Thanks for you efforts.

Dave
