Since only two people have downloaded the Fremantle packages from Garage, I'm going to assume that the population of Fremantle users watching this thread is low, and cut a 3.0 release and hope that nothing blows up for them ... anyway, that should be up sometime later today.
ETA: Not to mention, like many developers, I'm TERRIBLE about writing documentation, release announcements, and the like, and so I've been putting it off

For Diablo I have found it works fine and causes no problems. The only negative I've seen is minor: when I click on a bookmark in Tear Bookmarks in the desktop Task Navigator, it opens in a new window rather than replacing the webpage in the already-open window (like it did in the built-in MicroB Bookmarks).
Thanks for coding and sharing this.

basically, either case depends heavily on what the user is planning to do, reuse the window for a unrelated browse, or open up a second page to look up something in response to something on the first page.
the only real solution i see if for the system to ask each time a bookmark is accessed from said menu, while a window is already open, if it should be opened in a new or existing window.
btw, i think said bookmarks menu development is on ice pending folder support in tear bookmarks management.

Without that support we can't do much about this.

oh, and i think its tear that decides, and its set to open a new window every time a url is passed to it, just observe the behavior when using feed circuit to read rss updates.
and things get even more interesting ones one have multiple windows open. What window, if any, should be recycled?

Actually either way is fine with me, and, as I said from the start, it's trivial (and apparently moot). I was just surprised by the change/inconsistency.
Main points remain: It works just fine; thanks!

I've started a new thread for discussion of the new Browser Switchboard 3.0 release, and future releases as well.

A would like to file a bug (or configuration problem?) here: tear does not seem to be able to save any changes in google calendar. Message I get: Oops, we couldn't create this event, please try again in a few minutes.
Microb can, Fennec also; With Midori it is the same.
Btw: I was installing from Qole´s repository, Version is 0.3.5-1; if I look into www.bundyo.org I see tear-0.3.5-2_armel.deb.
However, if I click it, it starts the program manager, runs through, but apparently installs nothing: About still reads 0.3.5-1;
What is the recommended repo for installing and what is the newest version?
