Glory be... the funk's on me. Hopefully the Mozilla API will be stable hereafter.

Installation by name
To install a SashXB component, simply pass its name to the installer, as in
> sash-install sashftp
No more fussing with URLs.

Proxy support
SashXB now supports manual- or auto-configured HTTP proxies. Set your proxy information in the 'Settings' tab of the Task Manager.

New Task Manager
The Task Manager now has a cleaner look, and supports the --no-panel (or -n) option to run as a normal windowed application instead of a panel app, for all you KDE users. It also provides support for multiple locator services.

New security panel
More intuitive layout. Should be easier to use.

SashFTP has a bunch of new features
Option to show dot files, automatically reconnects if the server unexpectedly disconnects, handles symlinks better, parses listings better.

Bug Fixes
- Run by name (e.g. '> sash-runtime sashpad') tries to find exact matches to avoid ambiguity
- Installer is now far more stable: better error handling and aborting, better at reinstalling weblications, failure/success page
- WDF editor now allows importing of default registry keys and values
- Various improvements in efficiency in the runtime
- JS callbacks can be arbitrary bits of code in addition to function names

Changes to weblications/extensions/locations
- Many weblications have been touched up
- Sash.Core.Process now handles args
- Sash.Core.Include(file | url) can include js files (without having to rely on HTML to do it for you)
- Sash.Core.Net much more stable (esp. URLConnection), better error checking
- Mozilla empty arrays patch finally in Mozilla code
- Tons of bugs fixed in PanelApp
- GtkObjects can now be "new"'d in JS code
