If you do not already have the Kraker Local Proxy Server installed then please follow these instructions for installing Alleycat Player. It is not absolutely necessary for the use of the Launcher app but it is recommended for full functionality (including auto-updating and posting).

Release notes for v2e (August 23, 2022)

• Fixed broken embeds and added catalog view.
• Posting now requires the Kraker Local Proxy Server with a shadow port.
• Can now post as board moderator. Can edit posts and ban IPs. Limited functionality for deletions.

Release notes for v2d (November 13, 2021)

• Important New Feature: Any Slice that is in a thread that is auto-updating will also be auto-updated. This allows you to follow a conversation or track the reponses to an important post in real time. Great feature for bakers.
• The Post Office will now display the new post number after posting. The input fields will no longer be cleared by default. There is a checkbox at the lower right to enable auto-clear. Also, the number of posts is increased from 5 to 6.
• Added an event handler to block double-clicks on the status bar. This allows for the rapid reactivation of the menu bar (useful in the Post Office).
• Corrected the flawed truncation of long titles in the status bar. The new CSS will now truncate long titles correctly when the browser is resized.
• I found another strange behaviour on Chrome-based browsers. Zooming is blocked if a new tab is opened without a URL. The fix is to open the tab with the URL "about:blank". This behaviour is totally unexpected. As I stated before, I use Firefox so funky Chrome issues often get missed.
• Setting the proxy to "None" was causing an exception (internal Javascript crash). Sorry about that but who uses "None" anyway?

Release notes for v2c (October 20, 2021)

• Ooops. I just noticed that the page width setting wasn't working. Been like that for a while but it's fixed now.
• Changed the media server from "images.128ducks.com" to "media.128ducks.com". The changeover occurred early Wednesday, October 20.
• The Post Office feature is now fully implemented. It includes the ability to create new threads and to manage 5 posts per instance.
• It is now possible to copy the text from the status bar without causing the menu bar to open.
• I can't get the XMLHttpRequest module to give progress reports for file uploads. It does not work correctly on any browser. I searched the net for a possible solution but it appears that the module is just funky. It does not function correctly on the default 8kun client either.

Release notes for v2b (October 13, 2021)

• Fixed wrong button appearance on Pale Moon and Waterfox. I used an outline rather than a border around the buttons in the status bar. The outline was being drawn square instead of rounded.
• Fixed three issues on Chrome-based browsers (Google, Brave, Opera and others): 1) slow countdown timer, 2) missing bread titles, 3) images appearing on the right when they should be on the left
• Removed the dark border around the text area in the Quick Reply box. I missed this because I have a userContent CSS on my Firefox that does that. The fix is to specify "outline:none" in the CSS for the <textarea> element.
• I am working on the Post Office feature. Give me a week or so.

Release notes for v2a (October 9, 2021)

• This is a major upgrade. The Bread Launcher now supports auto-updating and posting. At present, only one image or file is allowed in a post (Quick Reply). The text input is unlimited but constrained to a small window. A more complete post editor will come soon (I will be calling it the Post Office).
• The Youtube embed links stopped working because YT doesn't like the blank "referer" HTTP header so I removed the "no-referrer" meta setting.
