Download Flock 0.7.3

Flock is a browser that uses Mozilla Firefox and aims to distinguish itself from other browsers by the social aspect that this browser brings. It comes standard with various options for the user to interact with the internet. These social capabilities include bookmark storage and publishing via the popular del.icio.us web service, photo storage via the Flickr website, automatic RSS feed submission and organization, and direct support for writing blog posts. The developers recently released a new version with 0.7.3 as the version number. The announcement looks like this:

This is an incremental release that has some bug fixes; but notable new features include Photobucket sub-album and Flickr set browsing and uploading, photo comment signatures, and OPML export of news feeds. You can download it now, but we haven’t turned on the auto update yet because we’re probably going to release a small update to this one to fix a few bugs we found, very soon. The 0.7.3 maintenance release for 0.7 has bug fixes in several areas:

• Photo
  • Photobucket sub-album and Flickr set browsing and uploading. Allow users to refine photos displayed in photobar by album.
  • Several bug fixes for photobucket and flock integration
• extensions
  • Allow extensions that haven’t been modified for flock to be installed. Users will be warned that the extension has not been tested with flock but will be allowed to proceed. Note that this feature has been partially available since 0.7.1. If you have installed unmodified extensions you will see a warning, “This update will cause some of your extensions and/or themes to stop working until they are updated.”, during the upgrade which can be ignored.
• Spread flock feature. Allow flock users to opt into adding a flock tagline to photos dragged from the photobar or the from the desktop into a text area
• Setup (First Run) experience enhancements
  • Bug fixes, better discovery of current configuration and UI treatments
  • Added option to allow anonymous statistics to be gathered during initial setup. This will allow Flock to further streamline and simplify the setup experience.
• Other
  • Added OPML export to My News
  • Blog Editor fix for editing text in source view window
  • Updated to use new deli.cio.us API
