0.1
At the moment, to successfully run Preferential, you must have the Venkman debugger installed. Although tested on Mozilla 1.2b, any version of Mozilla should do; however, I cannot guarantee it will work successfully on other Gecko browsers.
Preferential is currently fully functional, but definitely rough around the edges. Some of the features that I plan to add in the near future include:
- Tidying up of the interface, and some more user-friendly options (eg. not forcing a reload on each preference change)
- Enumeration of options for preferences through an RDF datasource
- Database describing the various preferences and what they accomplish (also using RDF)
