Good news to KasKus-ers! KasKusMenu version 2.7.0beta3 has been released! This version can be thought as a *complete* rewrite from version 2.5.2 (last version using code based on comrade fich's)

Go ahead, read this whole article to know what changes were made, and how to download & install it.

After a whole week of tiresome coding, finally KasKusMenu version 2.7.0beta3 goes live! Why does the numbering skips over 2.6.0? Because there were so many changes I made to the codebase of KasKusMenu.

Briefly, these are the changes:

• A rewritten JavaScript engine - no longer using the engine from comrade fich, but using an engine that I wrote myself. This new engine is not only easier to understand, it is also Object Oriented, so it will be a lot easier to add new features in the future.
• Observer interface implemented - allows changes on Options to appear immediately on KasKusMenu, no longer do you have to restart Firefox.
• Standard init/show/hide system - allows inclusion of KasKusMenu in a toolbar or somesuch, relatively easily.
• New Options! Now you can decide each mouse button's behavior!
• Bi-Lingual! If you use an Indonesian-language Firefox, then the About and Options boxes will use Indonesian.
• Personal hosting! I'm sick and tired, and generally got ill-feel, with the Indonesian AMO team; they keep ignoring KasKusMenu, refusing to approve it without concern. Thus, I decided to host KasKusMenu on my own server.

A little 'sneak-peek' on the new Options Dialog Box:

Now, how do you download it? Follow the steps below . . .

How to Download and Install
