v1.52 (Pro)
|
New Features:
Add support for Mozilla Firefox.
Improve integration with Mozilla. The object would be to get functionality similar to the IE integration, e.g. that Star Downloader will use specified extensions instead of hard coded ones.
Automatic configurations for popular antivirus programs.
Add the parameter %F for file name in Options/Anti-Virus to satisfy anti-virus programs that needs parameters sent in a certain order. Also add %S for short file name (DOS-style).
Some minor changes.
Bug Fixes:
If you use IE6 and add an extension for Star Downloader to intercept, which IE6 normally doesn't provide a download dialog for, Star Downloader won't intercept the extension.
Some minor fixes.

v1.44 (Free)
|
Star Downloader Free updated (v1.44)
Updated with Mozilla/Firefox integration and some minor bugfixes.
|
|
|
v1.43 (Free)
|
Star Downloader Free updated (v1.43)
We said before that we wouldn't continue to develop the free version of SD
but like many of you have mentioned, it's not fair that the version contains known bugs.
This has hopefully been fixed now and we hope that the users of the free version are happy!

When installing v1.50 over v1.42 sometimes the dll-files used by Star Downloader aren't installed properly. This causes an error message and the program doesn't start.

v1.42
|
Bug Fixes:
Some users still experience the bug that prevents Windows from shutting down correctly when Star Downloader is running. We think we have isolated the problem to users with the "Minimize on close" option active and a test version has been sent to some of the people that reported the bug.

|
v1.41
|
Bug Fixes:
In Windows 2000/NT there is a problem when trying to shut down or restart the computer with Star Downloader running. Star Downloader pops up and refuses to let the computer to shut down until it's closed manually. On Windows XP, stardownload interferes with logging off, but not system shutdown/restart.
Click and hold on the tray icon displays a status windows in the middle of the screen. However the window is not set to display on top so is not seen if other windows are open at the time. It is seen if the star downloader main window is open, otherwise it stays hidden behind other windows.

v1.4
|
New Featues:
User/Password Dialog
Download Basket
Support for .com and .bat when choosing anti-virus program
Show the right icons for .exe files instead of the system icons.
New icon for the text viewer windows.
Faster updating of download list.
Bug Fixes:
The latest version still gets stuck on sites such as: http://www.alltheweb.com/?cat=ftp&cs=utf-8&l=any&q= it grabs the SEARCH expression when i am busy looking for a file...
Browser integration with Opera v6.05 doesn't work like it should. First tested 6.01 and then 6.05. Works for me except that in 6.05 two download dialogs are shown for each download.
Opera v7.x integration doesn't work.
Integration doesn't work in latest Mozilla.
If you have disabled browser integration and use the [ALT][CTRL]-click, the link is not picked up by Star Downloader.
Hang-up feature needs to be tested. Especially under XP.
When you have download windows showing and minimize main program through click on star icon they will disappear and be impossible to make reappear without restarting program.
The icons in the download list don't have transparent background.
There are some problems with the way the program's sub windows are handled. The system needs to be checked and tested. Right now in some cases it's possible to "hide" modal windows, causing the program to seem as if it's not responding etc.
Provide a localized version of the shell menu in the web browser. For the moment, whatever language is chosen, the shell menu is always in English: 'Download with Star Downloader'.
On slower computers the program slow down when very many (hundreds) of files are in the same category.

v1.33
|
|
Minor bug fixes.
|
|
|
v1.32
|
Fixed bugs:
The IE right click menu option "Download with Stardownloader" stopped working in v1.31.
When you click on the Schedule button, you simply go to the Options dialog. You should go to the Schedule section inside Options.
If the SD system tray icon is used to show and hide the main window, it works ok. But if the system tray icon is used to show the main window, then the Close "X" button is used to close it, the system tray icon has to be clicked twice to show it again.
It should be possible to leave some fields blank and therefor only create YEAR-MONTH without the -DAY, but when I choose the empty field and restart, it is not used.
ESC doesn't close text viewer windows in win98.
It's possible to remove a column with right-click in the header but still have it shown "visible" in the main menu.
Some text strings in Options needs to be changed to follow ANSI character set.
New Features:
More languages added. Now more than 30 (!) languages or dialects are supported by Star Downloader.
"Categories" added to show menu.
A new XP style icon.

v1.3x
|
Added right-click menu options for Star Downloader in Internet Explorer.
Added possibility to force/skip downloading with Star Downloader in Internet Explorer and Netscape by using CTRL+ALT or ALT respectively.
Re-made the downloads list. Fixed some selection bugs and added a few more columns. It's also possible to move columns around and show/hide them by right clicking the header now.
Fixed the column sorting so it doesn't just make a simple string comparison but rather compares whatever type of information the column contains.
Most components now follow the Windows XP design and are also sensitive to your Windows XP theme. Things will look "the same old way" on older Windows systems.
Possibility to extract and to extract/install files from right click menu, not just on completion of download like before.
Made the internal text viewer (F3 on selection) appear as a separate entry in the system tray and not an annoying modal window.
Fixed bug that caused some configurations not to be saved.
Added the "Shutdown after downloading" to the system tray popup menu.
Removed categories window and replaced it with the possibility to manage categories by right-clicking in the categories list.
Simplified the "Hang up on..." dialog. Now you just toggle between two modes; hang up on completion of downloads or not.
Added warning when trying to pause downloads that don't support resume.
Fixed the bug that caused the download folder to be remembered everytime a new download was added. Now the "Default Download Folder" in configuration works the way it's supposed.
