RECAP Extension 0.7 Beta Released

We are proud to announce beta version 0.7 of RECAP. This release adds support for Firefox 4 beta, for those of you living on the cutting edge.

We've also added a feature requested by our users. Before this release, the only way to see if RECAP had any free documents for a particular case was to purchase and examine the docket report for that case. In version 0.7, RECAP will notify you before you run a docket report if there is already free archived docket available. On the docket query page for a case that has archived information, you should see a box appear at the bottom of your screen. Clicking on that link will take you to RECAP's summary page, which includes any docket information we have on the case as well as links to any documents we may have. Here's an example of what you should see:

Version 0.7 also fixes a number of bugs, both minor and major. Thanks to a few extremely helpful users, we were able to fix a problem that prevented RECAP from working correctly behind certain types of proxy servers. Users behind a corporate proxy or firewall should be sure to upgrade.

Finally, this release marks the first version of RECAP to be hosted on addons.mozilla.org. Transitioning to addons will allow us to more quickly add support for new versions of Firefox.

If you’re an existing Firefox user, Firefox periodically checks for updates to extensions and should automatically fetch the new version of the RECAP extension. Or you can force it to check immediately by clicking Tools->Extensions->Find Updates (or, depending on your Firefox version, Tools->Add-Ons->Find Updates). As always, please let us know if you find any bugs.
