Updated Google Bookmarks protocol to reflect changes at Google. At the present time, at least in California, depending on the nature of the bookmarks change(s), users of prior Bookdog versions will encounter either HTTP Error 502, or a silent failure, when saving to Google Bookmarks.
Made it less likely that Bookwatchdog might sort bookmarks unnecessarily. (Added a margin of 0.25 seconds weight to the “No” side when Bookwatchdog compares the time the filesystem said it wrote the file to the time that Bookdog or Bookwatchdog completed sorting.)
Fixed Google Bookmarks login which was recently broken when Google added a ‘GALX’ parameter to their login protocol. (Most Google Bookmarks users, with only one Google account, to which they are almost always logged in, would probably not have noticed this problem.
In Preferences > Application, added a popup menu to set the number of recent Firefox bookmarks files which are backed up in ~/Library/Application Support/Bookdog/Firefox 3 Backups. The number had previously been fixed at 32. The new default setting is 16.
When analyzing for duplicates, now distinguishes between URLs with different fragment identifiers.
Fixed a crash which would occur while Analyzing for Duplicates if bookmarks contained a corrupt bookmark with an undefined “host” portion.
Fixed a bug which caused renewal of an old eSellerate License Key to fail if user accidentally entered a tab character following their Licensee Name.

This update fixes issues for anyone using Bookwatchdog, Firefox users that have more than a hundred or so tags, and Google Bookmarks users.
Fixed bug which could cause unnecessary sorting (and barking, if enabled) by Bookwatchdog.
Improved efficiency in the “Comparing tags” phase during re-saving of Firefox 3 bookmarks. With thousands of bookmarks and thousands of tags, on a typical Core 2 Duo Mac, previous versions would request more memory than the system will give and need to be force quit. Now, the operation completes in a few seconds.
Fixed a bug introduced in 5.3.5 which could cause the progress spinner to remain spinning and dirty dot in the window close box to remain dirty after successful save (upload) of Google Bookmarks.
When user attempts a ‘Save As’ operation with Firefox 3 bookmarks, now displays a dialog explaining how this can be done, instead of failing silently.

Operation of Verify has been changed to accomodate sudden dropping of all connections which has been seen increasingly in recent months in some users’ internet services, apparently triggered by a minute or more of rapidly visiting websites. Bookdog now observes the frequency of dropped connections and adjusts its request rate accordingly. Also, fewer requests are allowed to be outstanding, so that there will be fewer in the pipeline if it is dropped. These changes reduce the number of retests required, resulting in higher accuracy and reduced total test time under these adverse circumstances.
Now compatible with Opera 9, Opera 10 Beta, and Opera 10 RC1. This update is required for users updating to Opera 10 RC1 now, or Opera 10 Final after Sept 1. (When opening Opera bookmarks, Bookdog now uses whichever of the three corresponding Opera bookmarks files has been modified most recently.)
