Konfabulator is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators, can tell you your WiFi signal strength, will fetch the latest stock quotes for your preferred symbols, and even give your current local weather.

What sets Konfabulator apart from other scripting applications is that it takes full advantage of today's advanced graphics. This allows Widgets to blend fluidly into your desktop without the constraints of traditional window borders. Toss in some sliding and fading, and these little guys are right at home in Windows XP and Mac OS X.

The format for these Widgets is completely open and easy to learn so creating your own Widgets is an extremely easy task.

For the "skinning" crowd, Konfabulator is a dream come true. You can easily change the look, feel, layout, even functionality of a Widget so that it matches your lifestyle, your desktop, or the pants or skirt you have on that day.

What's New in This Release:

· Fixed problem with determining night time with other timezone names in TheWeather.
· Added URL.responseData to allow the ability to get the response regardless of the response code. Previously, if you had a response code that was not 200, the only result you'd see was "Cannot load URL." URL.result still will return that for backwards compatibility.
· Added system.userWidgetsFolder.
· Fixed animation code to behave nicer when no parameters are passed into start()
· Fixed CustomAnimation to behave better if a floating point number was passed in for the interval.
· Changed CustomAnimation so that you cannot pass an interval of zero.
· Fixed ease validity checking. It was rejecting kEaseNone.
· Make sure to remove handlers when passed an empty string or null.
· Made openURL deal with other protocols better (e.g. mailto:)
· Fixed issue where animations now make sure that the object they are animating can't get garbage collected during the animation.
· Fixed problem where windows were getting chopped off after a display change.
· Attempt to fix an issue where the WiFi Widget would throw a string encoding error and exit on some setups.
· Fixed issue where if you created a window in JavaScript and then set something in preferences, you'd see an error in the debug window about "window001" or the like not being found. We no longer use JS to set the preferences.
· Fixed bug that caused URR (and possibly other Widgets with highly dynamic content) to crash.
· Fixed bug where popupMenu could crash if the popup items were garbage collected too soon.
· Fixed bug where Widgets launched while Konspose was up were not aware of Konspose.
· Finally implemented system.event.timestamp.
· Fixed issue where we might not find a header in an HTTP response if the case was wrong.
· Fixed issue where if you started an async fetch of a URL inside the done proc for a previous one it would crash.
· Fixed issue where passing an array into runUntilDone could crash.
· Fixed issue where a non-editable text area was not sending onMouseUp/Down, etc.
