Description coran.fisher@gmail.com 2007-05-02 18:08:44 UTC
1.0.1 Release Notes and Changelog
The core changes are:

    * Correctly recognize the 'outbid' page when the existing hidden proxy bid is above your bid (the text was changed).
    * JBidwatcher is smarter about some character set functions, so you don't see as many '?' in browsing eBay items through its internal webserver.
    * Fix PayPal recognition.
    * Recognize the 'safe trading tips' interstitial, and some forms of the 'you don't meet a requirement' page, if it's possible to continue.
      Both of these will slow down bidding, so if the snipe timing is set too close, JBidwatcher may not have enough time to handle these pages and still bid in time.
    * Fix the internal webserver's display list to show the snipe when one is set.
    * Removed older 'Buy It Now' detection code, as it was causing failures to load items.
      (It still recognizes BIN items, the old code was from one of eBay's many wording changeovers.)
    * Improve Currency handling to avoid many of the problems which have caused the UI to lose all columns but 'Ended Date'.
    * Fixed up error messages somewhat.
    * Added an entirely optional setting for users to enable an 'Affiliate mode' where the author can make a few nickels at no cost to users when they 'browse to' an item that they later end up winning/buying.
    * Better recognition of the existence of a captcha (ebay's increased security graphic).
    * Fix potential negative bid counts.
    * Fixing US prices in the auction info, and better recognize them so we can estimate the sum of items in multiple currencies.

Reproducible: Always

Saw that this is added to portage today.  Seems to work OK.  Thank you.
