Main Features
|
Ubiquity 0.1.3 (code named "Lexivore") is brings a range of new features. 0.1.3 includes an entirely new look that simplifies Ubiquity, as well as the ability for anyone who knows CSS to be able to make a new look. Ubiquity is also now much faster and uses some of the same learning algorithms that the makes the Awesome Bar smart.
- New Look: Ubiquity has a new look that increases its visual simplicity and lays the groundwork for full keyboard access.
- Skins: Anyone can now give Ubiquity a new look. It's as simple as a little bit of CSS. In fact, the new Ubiquity look was accomplished entirely using the new skinning feature. Once you've created a skin, it's easy to share it with the world: you can subscribe to skins just like you can subscribe to commands.
- Speed: Ubiquity is now much more snappy.
- Relevancy: Ubiquity now makes it easier to get to the command you want to execute. It remembers the commands you use — just like the Awesome Bar — as well as matching anywhere in a command name.
Download It
If you already have Ubiquity, it will automatically update itself soon (you can also go to the add-ons manager and click "Find Updates" if you are feeling impatient). If you don't already have Ubiquity installed, you can get 0.1.3 here: Ubiquity 0.1.3: Lexivore.
Thanks
Over ten people contributed to the code found in Ubiquity 0.1.3. There way more thanks that should be given than can be expressed here. We did, however, want to call out two folks in particular for their work on envisioning and creating the skinning functionality: Yatrik Solanki and Abimanyu Raja.
We'd also like to thank Zach Lym for his ongoing work on Ubiquity user testing.
Finally, we'd like to extend a welcome to Christian Sonne, who has joined the group of core contributors. You can find him, and the rest of us on #ubiquity on irc.mozilla.org.
