The 3.5.* compatibile release of QuickProxy has finally been approved by the Mozilla editors, after 6 weeks from the initial release. I hope that the time that this took isn’t going to remain for any future versions that are submitted, specifically for versions that are required for future firefox releases. Those using the previous versions should now be able to auto-update to the latest version through Firefox, or you can get it manually by going here.
I wish to thank all my users for being patient while this process ensued, as I wish there was more that I could do to get it pushed through Mozilla’s approval process.
This does bring some good news, as since the release is now public I can begin development and submission of new versions of QuickProxy, allowing me to work on some of the features that I’ve wanted to implement. I held off development while waiting for this to be approved, as last time I went ahead with dev work the extension got knocked back due to the code structure, and I had to re-write and re-test what I had planned anyway.
I want to give a big thank you to all the people that have donated to the extension through the Mozilla website. I initially developed the extension with no expectations of anything in return for the work, so just the fact that some of the users have found value in this extension has made me feel that I’ve accomplished my initial goals with the extension.

With the change of hosts that underwent today, the game server’s that were previously hosted on the old host are now offline. I may eventually look at putting one or two servers up on this new server, but as I don’t use the servers anymore myself, and the servers just seemed to create more havoc than enjoyment, there isn’t much incentive to do so.
If you wish to run a server with the AusKreedz backend on it, then shoot me an email to admin@auskreedz.com (contact form is also available on the AusKreedz page), and I can look into helping you get this set up, but I will not run nor will I be responsible for what goes on in the servers.
I hope the users of AusKreedz enjoyed the time that they had their, it has been a pretty good two years, but unfortunately times change, and the costs for services I didn’t actually use became too prohibitive.

Apologies to any visitors who experienced the downtime that was caused by the changeover of hosts that QuickProxy and my other sites underwent earlier today. The site was down for several hours (sadly caused by a mistake on my part), but now should be back (or coming back, depending on DNS cache’s and the like), and better than ever.
Work on the addon has been slow due to the workload my job is currently giving, but hopefully that will be changing not too far off (either one way or another), and I can then get to actually updating the extension to include some of the many features people have been requesting.
Don’t worry if you like the simplicity of the current extension, it won’t be bulked up with useless stuff and force you to wade through the preferences actually finding what you want. The new features are mainly focused on improving the usability of the extension (ie keyboard shortcuts) and making it compatible with other products (ie Thunderbird).
As always, I’m open to ideas/constructive criticism, so let me know what you would like in QuickProxy most, and if it doesn’t alter the extension too much, maybe you’ll have it included in a release sometime down the track.
