Note: This beta is no longer available. Please see here for the latest release!

Here’s what’s new in this version:

• Added support for DHL Germany
• Improved DHL US tracking (certain estimates weren’t showing up)
• Improved Growl checking
• Fixed an error in the Japanese translation (it said hours instead of days… sorry for any confusion!)
• Added a new loading image (loading is much more elegant now, especially if you have a bunch of small widgets close together)
• The default size is now slightly wider (to match the back side and show more information)
• Adjusted FedEx logo

If you have a chance to try it out, please let me know how it works for you! Especially if you have a DHL Germany delivery you can test with.

Update: I’ve put up a new version with some improvements for DHL Germany. The main thing I need to test for at this point is whether the it correctly displays as “Delivered!” (“Geliefert”) on the second status line when the shipment has been delivered.

Another update: I’ve decided to sneak a couple more features into this version:

• You can now hover the mouse over a long status message to see the entire message
• Growl messages are no longer displayed in all caps

This update affects all of the services, as it required changing a lot of little bits of code in many places. Please help me check anything you can, and let me know if something seems off!

Today I’m launching a new site for Tense Code, now at its own domain name, tensecode.com. The site has been given a face lift that offers new information presented in a clearer way. I’ve also added the first sneak peek of the store component, which will be available later this year. The best part is I’m starting a new service where you can create your own site free on tensecode.net. For now it’s an invite-only beta, but if you like you can head over and sign up now to be added to the waiting list. I’m also offering a “pro” site service for a small fee, if you need a little bit more than the free offer. Of course if you prefer, you can still install Tense Code on your own server.

Delivery Status 3.1 is nearly complete, and it adds some great features! First up is Growl support. A lot of people have asked if they could get a pop-up message, a beep, or an email when their delivery status changes. Growl allows you to choose from any of these things and more. You’ll need to download and install Growl to use this feature.

Next up is support for the Adobe online store (in the US and Canada only). Perfect if you’re among the many anxiously awaiting your CS3 pre-order! The widget will count down the days to your estimated shipping date, and if Adobe updates the estimate you’ll know right away.

Finally, for our friends to the north, I’ve added support for Canada Post.

This is a beta release, and may have some bugs. Please help squash them by letting me know how it works for you! If you have an Adobe store order, please verify that everything is displayed correctly. If you have multiple packages, do they show up as numbered items that you can click through (by clicking the item name)? Do the dates show up correctly for each package? If a package has a tracking number listed (click the Adobe logo to check) do the tracking dates show up in the widget? If you’re using Growl, do the notifications display as expected?

Thanks for all your help. Click here to download the Delivery Status 3.1 beta!

Update: I’ve just posted a new version that improves Adobe support and fixes some translation problems.
