Desktop Tool v2.0.0 Released

The latest version of the Total Validator Desktop Tool was released today.

This version incorporates the latest validator engine (v3.2.1) utilising an enhanced HTTP engine including more robust handling of GET requests, and support for BASIC/DIGEST/SOCKS/NTLM when authenticating to a web or proxy server using the full tool.

Authentication details may be entered on an new tab on the full tool, or the user prompted via a pop-up dialog box, or both. A new menu option also allows Windows proxy settings to be used where required on both the free and full tools.

The user interface has been tweaked a little for easier use and the tool now remembers the last 10 starting pages using a drop down list, and also saves the position and size of the window between invocations

This version also includes many spellcheck enhancements, providing more matches than ever before and a better suggestions engine. The 'lang' and 'xml:lang' attributes are now used to decide when to perform a spell check, with an option for the full tool of ignoring these if required.
