  • Some improvements to the installer, especially for users of Firefox and Opera.

  • And as usual, more other little fixes and improvements.

  • Fixed installer so uses the right icon for in-progress downloads.
  • The newer graphic when downloading as a tray icon with XP didn't with some custom XP themes (custom ones only?). Did a different way, won't match as exactly (grays with very subtly faded GetRight logo), but is prettier than the older style!

  • Refresh the main tray icon if you turn off the animation for it.
  • A few little text fixes, found by Italian translator M.Leuzzi
  • Didn't handle Content-MD5: header right (so just didn't get the MD5 from it at all--the Windows Vista beta was the first file I'd seen use the header!)

  • Added a new script command for whendone scripts: if filename xxx.xyz
