Version 2.0.6 fixes some issues with the previous releases and is now officially marked compatible with Firefox 5 (Beta).
DownThemAll! fixes another critical bug that was introduced in 2.0.3:
We are terrible sorry this slipped our Q/A and would like to thank the users who filed bug reports and provided diagnostic logs.
An embarrassing and to most users rather critical bug slipped into DownThemAll! 2.0.3
The bug: When you don’t modify the download queue, then no new downloads will be started after the first 50 ones.
DownThemAll! 2.0.4 was released to address this bug.
Basically this extension aims to off-load all file writing to a background “thread”, so that the Firefox user interface stays more snappy, and to avoid certain undesired stuff.
For more information about the tech-reasoning and source code, please consult the github page.
The extensions is experimental and only works with DownThemAll! trunk and Firefox 4/5 (32bit) on Windows right now.
Version 0.4alpha fixes some issues, including a very minor memory leak, and also switches from Win32 API use to NSPR, so that Mac/Linux versions are now within the reach.
(Existing users should be offered an automatic update)

The release is now signed by me (Nils Maier)
