Fresh out of development today is a new beta of gAttach!. This resolves the handful of reported issues that have been reported since the last version went live (7 June 2008), and also delivers one of the most requested pieces of new functionality: better support for Firefox 3 and the removal of any dependency upon Internet Explorer.
From this beta onwards, there's no need to type in a username and password at all when creating a new message. gAttach! will log into Gmail without bothering you, do its work and then launch your web browser and typically log you straight in there too. That means it should now be just as efficient to use gAttach! to send one attachment as many.
This new functionality will work with Mozilla Firefox 3 (and later) and Internet Explorer 7 (and later). This functionality won't be introduced for Firefox 2 or Internet Explorer 6, so I'd urge you to upgrade to the latest version of your browser if you use one of these.
The most significant "fixes" in this release include better support for proxies requiring authentication, fewer timeout issues and hopefully the elimination of the rare situation where gAttach! is installed but seems to do nothing! x64 users should also find that this new version works fine on their systems.
Please note that this is a beta release, so it will most likely have a few bugs in it. Reporting any issues should now be easier too: you just need to click one button. I'll try to fix any reported issues as soon as possible and do a final software release in the very near future.
The full list of updates can be found on the version history page on the gAttach! site. Download the beta from this page too!
