Bidwatcher / News: Recent posts

eBay has forced all bidding to occur only through signed-in clients. This means bidding in bidwatcher is indefinitely broken. We're all very busy, so a fix will come some time, but there is no ETA.

The hard work of several new bidwatcher volunteers has culminated in this release which fixes many of the outstanding eBay parsing issues as well as provides some new features such as snipe groups. Thanks to all for their help.

This release deals with the latest bid/snipe breakage.

This release fixes the time synchronization problem.

Yep, just in time for a non-denominational xmas. Check the Changelog for all of the details.

This one fixes that TimeSync bug which appeared shortly after the 1.3.9 release.

Most notably, the new eBay layout is coped with.

Please submit bug reports for anything out of the ordinary. Thanks.

1.3.8 is now available. It fixes several bugs. Check it out.

This release has the very important fix to handle the eBay changes, as well as some other improvements. Enjoy.

Hi folks. I've disabled the forums because well, I don't like them. I like email. ;) So, please subscribe to/use the bidwatcher-devel and bidwatcher-users mailing lists. And if you're interested in tracking changes, bidwatcher-cvs. Also, don't forget that I tend to hang out on IRC on irc.freenode.net, so drop by.

Note: I haven't actually deleted the contents of the forums, just made them unavailable.

Two new mailing lists have been created.
1) bidwatcher-devel@lists.sourceforge.net --Development chatter
2) bidwatcher-cvs@lists.sourceforge.net --CVS Syncmail Notices

Enjoy.

Fixes a couple of bugs, adds a comment field feature.

There you go, a new release. Hopefully it works for you :)

It was just brought to my attention that eBay made some changes that were pretty drastic, so we'll need to re-modulate the shield frequencies... or something. Just a heads up - expect a fix hopefully soon.

I uploaded a whole lot of code I wrote for the new bidwatcher 1.4. Things have been totally redone and it's looking good. Hopefully I'll be able to get a release of it soon, but for now checkout the bidwatcher-1.4 cvs module to see what's up.

It's old news by now, but I just got access to this stuff so I'm giving it a shot. 1.3.4 has been out so download and enjoy.

I just wanted you to know that I very much appreciate all the bug reports you've been submitting. Let me get through my finals, and I'll try to resolve them towards the end of this month. :)

Sorry for the truncated file problems --1,2,1 has been released proper and is now available in the File Releases section here on Sourceforge.

We've just released 1.1.8 of bidwatcher, an eBay bid management/sniping tool. Quite a few changes have gone into it, including a complete port to gtk+, so please take a look at it!
