News...
James Ross is working on creating a Venkman XPI that once again
works on ANY version of Mozilla. Check out
bug #247507 and version 0.9.85 below.
Venkman is broken on the Firefox and Mozilla trunk, sorry. There
is a regression in the tree code caused by changes to the
Mozilla/Firefox tree widget. See
bug 274082
for more information.
Trying to get Venkman working on Firefox? If you're using
Firefox 1.0, try Venkman 0.9.84.
Svend Tofte has put together a comprehensive Venkman
tutorial called
``Learning the JavaScript debugger Venkman.''
It leads you step-by-step through nearly all of the features in Venkman,
and it's got lots of excellent screenshots to match the text.
Plan to take a break and stretch in the middle though, it's a
long one :)
Venkman now supports a tabbed view container, read the post titled
``Venkman gets tabbed views'' for more information.
I noticed this pro-Venkman post on
a Microsoft™ usenet group the other day. Funny thing is,
it's not on my news server anymore. Was it cancelled, or is this just
a newsfeed hiccup? The world may never know :)
Click the one of the links in the install column
to install Venkman using XPInstall. These XPIs WILL work in
Netscape 7.x!
Note that these installs need to write to your Mozilla install directory,
which means you need to have write access to this directory.
If you are on a unixish system and installed your browser
via your package management system, you'll need to be root.
