Welcome to the xHermes World ;)

*** Warning *** Bug 160058 is still there if you use
xHermes from floating window it WILL crash. ***
(Well at least it is a way to show novice users
Mozilla can crash too ;)

What's new:


Version  0.3-pre3 - December 31, 2003

  It's been a long time since last xHermes update, 
  as I have been busy with MozillaPL our Polish
  Mozilla distribution. Nothing's really changed
  here:

(pb) - You can add xHermes to your Sidebar (again :)
(pb) - Very few Service files has been updated ;(,
       mostly the ones I would use. If someone could
       check and resubmit rest of them it would be great!
(pb) - Two new Mail Service files from Poland were 
       added just to show how one can use xHermes.
(pb) - xHermes is scoring high in The Ugliest XUL Around 
       contest. Mainly because all styling was removed
       to help debugging Bug 160058. It may improve some
       day though :)        
(pb) - No, it won't work in The Best Browser, bar none.
       Yet.


Version  0.3-pre2 - July 10, 2002

(pb) - Beer.com has been added - thanks to Dirty Dingus,
(pb) - There is an Example of Mail Service file in XHTML.
       It doesn't trigger Password Manager to remember your login
       though (Bugzilla 125166). 
(pb) - SMS files were transited to XHTML and are localizable,
(pb) - Hotmail and Netscape files are valid HTML 4.01,
(pb) - OpenAddressBook call was improved,
(pb) - Services have own DTDs,
(pb) - Files has been cleaned from CSS to help debug #1699,
(pb) - Logout links were fixed.    


Version 0.1-pre6 or xHermes 0.3-pre1 - June 18, 2002
(pb) - Just to get all of us less confused. Since 
       now the next releases of xHermes will be called
       xHermes 0.3-preXX - untill the bug 1699 
       (http://mozdev.org/bugs/show)bug.cgi?id=1699)
       gets fixed. It still has to be named xHermes 
       though, just to allow you to use it with the
       previous version (0.2xx development line).
       There were no other changes between 
       xHermes 0.1-pre5 and xHermes 0.3-pre1.

Version 0.1-pre5 (BuildID 20020617) June 17, 2002
(pb) - <tree> was improved on new mail services.
(pb) - 5/3 Bank service added.
(pb) - mBank service (experimental) was added 
       (I wasn't able to check it).

Version 0.1-pre4 June 6, 2002
(az) - All current Hermes (0.2.13) services files added.
(az) - Mail service files have nicer look.
(az) - searchclear js function added from Hermes.

Version 0.1-pre03   May 3, 2002
(pb) - xHermes structure updated to work with new-old <tree> engine
       and Mozilla 1.0 RC1.
(pb) - Fixed Menu File > Close.
 
Version 0.1-pre02   Apr 9, 2002
(pb) - Sidebar version landed - after installation you can add 
   xHermes Sidebar from menu File. 
(pb) - fixed permission in Services directory 
  


===========================================================

  This version was called xHermes to allow you to install it 
along with Hermes 0.2.11 - they have different folders so one
will not overwrite another. 0.1 speaks for itself ;) 
Basicly it is Hermes converted to XUL with few new things - it
learned how to send SMSes, can connect to some banks and 
there's more to come.


   Few things are different:
 - services are in separate files,
 - xHermes could be run as a separate window run from 
 Task Menu (Sidebar version will probably appear some day too), 
 - localizable code (service files are not yet ;(.

  
  There are only three mail services implemented from Hermes 0.2.11 
as I wanted to know what you think and if we should go this way...
It's mostly a concept car.. so please be patient with it :)

  Enjoy using xHermes and if you can, please use that neat 
feedback form on hermes.mozdev.org or drop me a line at 
pbartecki@mozillapl.org ;)
 You can also get support in Polish at MozillaPL web page:
