1. Support for Firefox 2.0. The Newbie Plugin has been updated and tested on the latest version of Firefox version 2.0
2. The custom script directory tab has been added to the Newbie Plugin for Firefox. Previously, it was only available in the Plugin for Internet Explorer.

You will need to download the latest NpNewbie.dll from our FTP Site. Kindly refer to the Help menu->Online Help->Supported Web Browsers->Mozilla Firefox->Setup Firefox Plugin, for setup instructions.

Newbie Web Automation version 2.6.5 is the latest release. This version now allows
you to store, access and execute scripts from a user defined directory. Previous versions only allowed scripts to be stored in a fixed subdirectory under the Newbie installation  directory. The latest version adds a new tab on the Scripts Treeview that can display scripts from a user defined directory. This feature is available in both the Newbie application and the Newbie Plugin for Internet Explorer.

There are two ways to configure the custom script directory:

1. Go to the custom Tab and use the F10 key to change script directory and Tab caption

2. You can also set it in the User Menu, Change User Info, Set Custom Script
Directory button

After updating Newbie, you will need to increase the length of the F8 field in the
CtrlDp.xtr and CtrlsXl.xtr from 60 to 250 to accommodate very long directory paths.
Refer to the Newbie Forum, Latest Updates section for details. You must be a registered Newbie customer in order to get access to the latest updates.

New API functions:
 - function GetExecuteBrowser: string;

The Newbie Automation Engine Library has been released. Software developers can now integrate the Newbie Automation Engine into their software applications by calling functions from a distributable DLL library. This provides better integration, deployment and error tracking of web automation tasks. The Script Editor is also included to allow editing of Newbie Scripts. For more information, click here.

1. New API functions have been introduced:
 - SelectListItemInFrame(ControlName, sValue: string): boolean;

 - SelectFile(const sCaption: string; sInitialDir: string): string;
 - WaitNewbieScriptEnd(nDelay: integer): boolean;

2. An option to terminate Newbie when time out occurs (no mouse or keyboard activity) is now available. Previously, a login screen pop ups up requiring the user to enter the password. Now you have the option to close Newbie immediately after time out to prevent someone from seeing the currently loaded web page. You can activate this feature in User Menu->Change User Info.

3. The latest release of Newbie Task Manager version 1.83 (view demo) now as a built in Action for executing Newbie Scripts. It encrypts the password so that it is not visible on the commandline. This Action is located in Processes->RunNewbie.

You can access and execute your Newbie Scripts from within Internet Explorer by clicking the View Menu-> Explorer Bar-> Newbie Web Automation.  You can also create a shortcut button on the IE Toolbar by checking the 'Add Newbie To IE Toolbar' option under Tools Menu in the Newbie application.

Customers can now access the latest documentations from our website by clicking
Help Menu -> Customer Documentations in Newbie.

The Newbie Delphi Visual Component VCL is now available. It is a collection of components that allow you to create applications that automate web pages using Newbie Scripts. Also, a new API is added to always execute Newbie Scripts in a new Internet Explorer window.
