The Greasemonkey team is hard at work on Greasemonkey 0.4. I am currently running a development build that works with the Firefox Deer Park bits. But the new GM release will have a number of very good features. First of all, the user can create a new user script via any outboard editor. This doesn’t seem like much. After all, most folks will just be installing pre-existing scripts. But for some of this, the new options will be quite nice. Second, the new build provides much more capability to edit/manage previously installed scripts. Finally, there is some new chrome stuff (UI improvements).
On the scripting front, Aaron Boodman (Greasemonkey developer) is spending a great deal of time to work through issues with Technoproxy – a GM script that will highlight nouns that have Technorati tags. It’s a fun little script that is terribly resource intensive.
