There’s a lot going on in the Chatsum lab right now. We recently released live links into the chat stream making it easier to follow people around the web. We’ve tightened up the server and installed caching engines all over the place ready to take on more users. Some exciting features are being added to the member profile pages, the OS X widget is now at internal beta stage and we’re about to start on the user blocking code.

Throw the new puppy on the left into the mix and you get a faster turnaround on your member page IE compatibility testing and a decent enough machine for us to start developing an IE native version of Chatsum. Virtual PC just wasn’t doing it for us anymore.

As if all that wasn’t enough we’ll also be moving this site to a different server and releasing a version of the extension compatible with the latest version of Flock as soon as we can.

Phew! Anything else? Oh yeah, a user preference to default to page or site mode.

A very quick post to say that the Chatsum 0.4 extension is now available. This version adds Flock and Firefox 1.5.0.1 compatibility.

Existing users of Chatsum 0.3 can upgrade via the Firefox Extensions window and 0.4 has become the default download during the registration process for beta testers.

A note to Flock users:
As Flock doesn’t have a View -> Sidebar menu, to active Chatsum, you’ll have to use the Ctrl-Alt-C keyboard shortcut or add the Chatsum button to your toolbar via the View -> Toolbars -> Customise… menu. Just drag the green orb to your toolbar.
