   DEVONagent Lite, Express, and Pro 3.5

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   DEVONtechnologies has updated its three editions of [1]DEVONagent
   (Lite, Express, and Pro), though DEVONagent Pro gets the bulk of the
   changes. All three research assistant apps get a new plug-in for
   searching the British Library Web site, updates to the Rocketnews and
   SEC plug-ins, support for Retina displays, and improved French and
   German localizations. Both DEVONagent Express and Pro receive a new
   Macintosh News (Latest/More) search set (which looks for news specific
   to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion), plus improvements that ensure Tube scanner
   compatibility with YouTube and Dailymotion, reliabiltiy of imported Web
   browser bookmarks, support for thumbnails downloaded from
   thumbshots.com, and proper handling of HTML/HTTP dates

   DEVONagent Pro adds a Format pop-up menu when adding results to
   DEVONthink, and its available formats include resource, bookmark,
   summary, paginated and unpaginated PDF, and Web archive. The Pro
   edition also adds an action script to file results in DEVONthink Pro's
   global inbox and a command in the contextual menu of PDF results to add
   PDFs to DEVONthink. Additionally, the update improves the Browsers
   plug-in to DEVONthink Pro Office's authenticated server (version 2.5
   and later), enhances the Convert Results to RSS Feed action script so
   that the feed can be viewed after enabling Web sharing, and improves
   action scripts to access the HTML source of results. Note that as of
   this writing, none of the DEVONagent editions in the Mac App Store
   ([2]Lite, [3]Express, or [4]Pro) have been updated to version 3.5. (All
   updates are free. DEVONagent Lite, free, 3.3 MB, [5]release notes;
   DEVONagent Express, $4.95 new, 8.0 MB, [6]release notes; DEVONagent
   Pro, $49.95 new with a 25-percent discount for [7]TidBITS members, 16.6
   MB, [8]release notes)
