Clippings 2.0 is now available for download from the Clippings
website, http://clippings.mozdev.org

If you already have Clippings installed, it will be upgraded for you
if automatic extension updates are enabled in Firefox. Otherwise, open
the Extension Manager in Firefox, then right-click on the entry for
Clippings in the list of installed extensions and choose Find Update.

SUMMARY OF NEW FEATURES

    * Now works with Mozilla Thunderbird! Clippings can be created
from both the message view and the message compose windows by dragging
selected text into the Clippings icon on the Thunderbird status bar.
Clippings can also be inserted into the body of an email message in
the message compose window using the context menu.
    * Folders and subfolders to organize your clippings. You can
choose which folder to place a new clipping in, create new folders (or
delete folders you no longer need), and move or copy clippings into
folders.
    * Automatic back up of Clippings data. Back up files are stored in
a ".clipbak" folder in your Firefox user profile folder.
    * Automatic recovery of corrupted Clippings data. Clippings can
now detect corruption of the data source file (clipdat2.rdf) and
restore it from backup files.
    * Export Clippings as HTML for printing or display in a Web browser.
    * Export as Clippings 1.x format, for backwards compatibility with
Clippings 1.x series.
    * Clippings Manager window dimensions now remembered between sessions.
    * Numerous bug fixes.

COMPATIBILITY WITH FIREFOX 1.0.x DISCONTINUED

Due to problems with getting many of the new features to work with
Firefox 1.0.x and Thunderbird 1.0.x, Clippings now requires Firefox
1.5 or newer and Thunderbird 1.5 or newer. Users who have not yet
upgraded to the latest versions of Firefox and Thunderbird should do
so in order to use Clippings 2.0.

GETTING HELP

A Quick Start Guide is now available for first-time users.  See
http://clippings.mozdev.org/help.html.

Support requests should be emailed to the Clippings mailing list. If
you think you found a bug, please do a search first to see if the
issue hasn't been reported yet. Bug reports can be emailed to the
Clippings mailing list; or if you have a Bugzilla account on Mozdev,
you may file a bug report at http://clippings.mozdev.org/bugs.html.
