Beta Versions of SkipScreen!

File hosting sites change all the time. We are hard at work keeping SkipScreen up to date with those changes. This page contains links to the latest beta release, as well as older versions. Please note that this file is intended for testing, not for normal use. If you do not intend to report issues as part of the beta-test group, you might want to install the main release.

  • permalink to 0.3.20091206_beta release
0.3.20091116_beta
  • MediaFire -- this sounds like a war -- MF changed their page AGAIN. We've got some better code in now, but when will they next respond?

  • permalink to 0.3.20091116_beta release
0.3.20091107_beta

0.3.20091020
0.3.20091018
  • MegaUpload is working, again: due to MU server changes, the wait can no longer be bypassed, so SkipScreen automates the wait.
  • RapidShare has gotten a lot of internal rework; messages are consistent, and no-slots seems to be handled properly.
  • NetLoad.in support has been started, but is incomplete (thanks to Ahmed for the original code).
  • Consistent message display via a (slightly transparent) Big Green Box(tm). On most pages, the box can be repositioned.
  • Post-download page is slightly transparent (so the user knows they haven't left the original page).
  • Options panel should display at correct minimum width (w/o scroll-bars).
  • Number of files download via SkipScreen is displayed on post-download screen (note: not all handlers update, so the number is lower than your actual use; no data is kept other than a count, and the date the counter was started).
  • Version number has increased from 0.1 to 0.3 (0.2 should have been in a previous release, but wasn't incremented).
  • Version dating has been changed from MMDDYYYY to YYYYMMDD.
  • Beta is available online, and should auto-update when a new beta is available (for this reason, it is reccomended that beta versions be installed in a separate profile from main releases).
  • Beta displays the unique whatsnew_beta.html page ("you're soaking in it").
  • jQuery has been added (increases size of .xpi slightly); this will be used more in the future.
  • Zugo-search-page code included (was missing from recent betas, but included in last production release).
