Look at where the minute-hand is pointing:

Close-up:

Dave Garrett has improved on ViewAbout the past weeks, so version 1.4 is credited entirely to him. Thanks Dave!

Full changelog:

• Now supports Firefox 2.0.0.x
• Auto-detection for available about URLs in current application
• Support for access keys in menu
• Some code re-factorizations to reduce redundant code

One can get ViewAbout 1.4 from AMO.

CS3108 has ended for the semester, here are the presentations. Again, great effort shown by them, I hope they continue to achieve greater stuff in the future!
