Monthly update: February 2025

Work continues on the next version of Read Next, the reading list extension for Firefox from AE Creations. As announced yesterday, the second beta release of Read Next 1.5 is now available for testers and early adopters. This upcoming version of Read Next contains a few new features and improvements, such as the ability to rename links, improved keyboard navigation of the reading list, and automatic updating of the reading list when the unread status of links are changed. There are also fixes for a few long-standing bugs which I now have time to look into and fix.

Sync Clippings Helper App for Windows on Arm

The Sync Clippings Helper app for Windows is built for Intel 64-bit and 32-bit systems. But if you're running Windows on an Arm device, there's no need to fret: Sync Clippings Helper will run without issue on Arm systems! I was able to test this out recently on a loaner device, and can confirm that Sync Clippings works on Arm.

The Windows setup program files for Sync Clippings Helper will be renamed to clarify that they are intended for Intel systems. While it will run just fine on Arm, native support for Windows on Arm systems is planned -- but to make that happen, I'll need to get my hands on an Arm system first.
