Mozilla Weave 0.4.0 Released
Mozilla has released the latest version of its bookmark and browser history synchronizing technology, Weave Sync 0.4.0. This version brings some new features, support for Mozilla's mobile browser, Fennec, on the Maemo Linux platform and the usual set of tweaks and improvements.
"Weave Sync lets you securely take your Firefox experience with you to all your Firefox browsers - including our mobile browser, codenamed Fennec. It currently supports continuous synchronization of your bookmarks, browsing history, saved passwords and tabs," writes Mike Connor on Mozilla Labs, announcing the release. "If you have not looked at Weave recently, now is a great time to jump in and try it out! This release includes a major rewrite of many of Weave's key components since the last major release in June."
