Flock 0.9.0.2

Flock is the ultimate web browser based on the popular Firefox.
Welcome to the Flock Developer Preview, aka the Flock 0.5pre developer snapshot. If you have made it this far, chances are that you are aware of the risks associated with software that is nestled somewhere between the alpha and beta states.
While we are very excited about what we are doing, we want to make sure that you have been fully forewarned that this browser will crash from time to time and that any settings you save in this browser may quite possibly be erased, lost, or overwritten! Please have a backup of your blog posts and your shared bookmarks! Given that, we strongly recommend that you proceed with caution. Still here? Great!
So before you get started, please read through these release notes. This will give you some of the relevant information you will need to get up and running. Also, if you have general questions about Flock, who we are, what we do, and how we get away with it, please check out flock.com. Thanks for your interest in Flock; we hope you enjoy your stay.
Flock Developer Preview includes a number of features and services that make it fun and easy to talk back to the web and organize, share and retrieve interesting web pages.
Main features:
- The Blog Manager
- The Flickr Topbar
- RSS integration
- Favorites with del.icio.us integration
- The Shelf
- History Search
Flock Developer Preview is now available.
Our code couldnt wait any longer to be free!
But! This preview aint for the faint of heart! If youre the bleeding-edge type and dont mind a few scrapes and busted knees from time to time, feel free to give it a whirl.
Weve got interesting ideas in this thing. We want to know what weve done right how we could improve. And weve got a lot of work ahead of us!
- Flock still doesnt import your Firefox or IE favorites
- Flock does support Flash, but other plug-ins have NOT been tested
- While we have ten or so of the most popular Firefox extensions working, we need to come up a way to make most Firefox extensions working in Flock and/or cajole extension authors to make their extensions work with Flock
- A weird timestamp/debug window shows up when you publish a blog post. Were on the case. But your post will get published just fine
- Firefox themes do not work with Flock
- Choice! We like it as much as you do, but we must crawl before we can walk. While we support a number of blogging platforms, we dont yet offer a choice of social bookmark services or photo sharing services
- Blogging platforms: WordPress and Blogger work pretty well. There are some problems still with Movable Type. We havent tested any other blogging platforms
- Bad things happen if you say "Yes, share my bookmarks" and then dont enter del.icio.us account info
Finally, there is a list of several hundred bug reports and ideas for feature improvements, including some bugs that will make your browser crash. So consider this software experimental, and be prepared for crashes and occasional data losses. We do not recommend that you use Flock 0.5 as your main web browser.
