Change log for JBidwatcher 2.1pre5


There’s a lot of changes bundled into this version.

  • eBay Fixes
    • Multiple parsing fixes for high bidders and fixed price listings.
    • Recognize new listing types, and stop failing on listings with ‘end’ in their titles.
    • Parsing fixes for high bidders, new listing types, listings with ‘end’ in the title,
    • Make My eBay Watching pages work better. (Probably still not perfect!)
    • Work around some really bad eBay HTML due to a popular seller tool.
    • Various fixes to deal with eBay’s new ‘Top-rated seller’ heading (seller names and feedback numbers/percentages).
  • UI Fixes
    • Font issues
    • Improved layout and UI, especially on the Mac. I think it’s prettier, especially in thumbnail mode.
    • Deleting multiple items doesn’t trigger a race condition anymore, and now works.
    • Improved UI consistency.
    • Show Information and Set Shipping dialogs don’t go crazy if the images are huge, or the number of events are large.
    • Fixed the damn toolbar Select / Status overlap and other tweaks to improve the UI.
    • Improved the functionality of the status bar, integrating stuff that had been per-tab into the global state.
    • Worked around a nasty Java 1.6 bug which made pulling up the context menu on multiple selections impossible.
  • Mac OS X changes
    • Snow Leopard fixes (the ‘minimize loses UI’ and ’doesn’t log in automatically’ bugs)
    • Add the Sparkle auto-update framework for Mac OS X users!
  • Several My JBidwatcher fixes, including better change detection for synching only truly changed listings up to My JBidwatcher
  • Transitioned to a fully git-based project (See JBidwatcher’s source on GitHub)
