Firebug Developer Tools Get Updated

The Firebug Working Group has announced the availability of Firebug 1.5.0.

Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of web development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.

After more than 6 months of development and 36 alpha and beta releases Firebug 1.5 features some big improvements.


Major Enhancements:
* Mike Radcliffe’s Inspector. A key feature, now solid as a rock,
* Jan ‘Honza’ Odvarko’s expanded and refined Net panel, with accurate timings,
* Steve Roussey’s reworking of HTML editing and entity support,
* Kevin Decker’s CSS and Style side panel improvements,
* Support for dynamic, graphical breakpoints through out Firebug.
* Tested support for the soon-to-be-released Firefox 3.6

The addons.mozilla.org users will be updated to 1.5.0 next week. Based on past experience, some issues will arise that our getfirebug.com users did not hit. We expect a couple of minor update releases in the next few weeks. All new features and significant bug fixes will now appear on Firebug 1.6.
