Validator 3.5, Firefox extension 3.0 and Desktop Tool 3.0

Major new releases of the Total Validator and associated tools came out today providing full integration between all products for the first time.

The online service now supports the taking of screenshots across different platforms in parallel for a faster response and less contention. It also supports the new features in the Firefox extension and Desktop Tool.

The latest Desktop Tool can now send requests for screenshots to the online service, including Mac screenshots. In turn the Firefox extension can now use the Desktop Tool to validate pages in place of the online service, providing the complete range of validation options of the tool from the extension.

In summary with just one click from your browser you can now validate an entire website and take screenshots of the home page in (for example) Opera9 on (for example) Apple Mac OS/X.

Mac screenshots available with latest release

Total Validator was upgraded today to provide screenshots of four popular Mac browsers: Safari, Firefox, Mozilla and Opera.

The new version (v3.4.0) also adds the facility to take screenshots at 1280x1024 in addition to the existing 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480 resolutions.

These facilities are expected to be integrated into the next major release of the Firefox extension, which will also provide support for launching the full desktop tool. The desktop tool itself is also in the process of being upgraded, with the next major release expected to provide a screenshot option of its own.

Firefox Extension 2.3 Released

The latest release of the popular Total Validator Firefox extension was released today.

This new version provides support for validating local files and files behind firewalls, so you are no longer restricted to validating pages accessible from the online service.

You can also now access the options dialog from the extensions menu and even run the validator directly from the options dialog.
