Fluid 0.4 Released with Dock badges and more

Lots of new features in Fluid 0.4, but most important are features for Fluid-created SSBs of three popular webapps: Gmail, Google Reader, and Yahoo! Mail. Features include “unread count” Dock badges, and support for setting these SSBs as the system-wide default mail or feed readers.

OS X Leopard Dock with an icon for Facebook.app right along normal apps like Dashboard, Mail, and TextMate.

  • FluidInstance.app: Dock Badges for “unread count” in Gmail, Google Reader, and Yahoo! Mail just like Mail.app
  • FluidInstance.app: New Windows are sized and positioned the same as the last window’s current size & position (including across app launchings)
  • FluidInstance.app: You can set Yahoo Mail SSBs as system default Mail client in Mail.app prefs, and they will now accept incoming mailto: links. Upon accepting, they activate and begin composing a new message to the url given.
  • FluidInstance.app: Gmail compose email addr auto-suggest works now.
  • FluidInstance.app: Yahoo Mail gets Dock Menu support: “Get New Mail” and “Compose New Message”.
  • FluidInstance.app: Google Reader SSB can be set as system default feed reader in Safari prefs and will accept RSS/Atom/feed urls from other apps like Safari to “Add Subscription”.
  • FluidInstance.app: SSBs can now run local Ruby on Rails webapps.

  • Fluid.app: dragging a URL proxy icon to the Fluid icon in the dock opens Fluid and enters that URL into the Fluid “URL” text field.
