2009.06.11 – yes, I'm delayed with new version –
as you can see on the previous post and the date of this post
– but I'm still working and
adding new features – for example testcases features –
the goal is made XPCOMViewer the best choice for those
developers who deals with XPCOM
components – I mean way as I'm using it...
I have also problem with bug which is really unpleasant - rendering of
all HTML form elements is broken in the
FF when
XPCOMViewer is installed and I don't know what is
responsible for this...

– in few days will be released 1.0 version with many
improvements and bug fixies.
