After months of work on this new version of the MuvEnum Address Bar, we are proud to announce the first non-beta release.  For all the details about the version 5 release including what’s been added, fixed, and improved, why there is now a free and pro version, and more, please see the v5 beta change log posts:

• Modified update checking to work in cases where the user never or rarely restarts their computer.
• Modified options form to no longer be topmost when an update is available to avoid having the installer hidden behind the options form.
• Modified options form to watch in KeyDown event for ESC instead of KeyUp to help reduce the probability of the ESC key closing the options form when closing other forms shown from the options form.

If you find any issues with this version, please report them as quickly as possible as we’re looking for an official release near the beginning of next week.

• Modified Tooltip for History List Items option text for better readability.
• Modified description at the bottom of the Keywords tab to let users know that keywords can contain any combination of folders, files, programs, and/or web addresses.
• Modified some reading of filestreams to only request the exact permissions needed to perform the task to help reduce conflicts with multi-user systems.
• Modified “start pro trial” prompt to show when upgrading to new versions for freeware users.
• Modified activation to remove “Go Pro” text from the address bar, if it is showing, after activating the Pro Version.
• Fixed issue with the toolbar not loading for limited user accounts when it had been registered as the Pro Version.
• Fixed “Close” button on the update dialog so it would actually close it.
• Fixed calculator decimal combobox drop-down scrolling and not being the correct height for the number of items.

MuvEnum Address Bar v5.0.1.0 Beta is now available for download.

We’re nearing the final release of v5 due to the awesome feedback we’ve received which has helped us fix the final remaining known issues.  Thanks to everyone for reporting your issues.  If you find any issues with this version, please report them as quickly as possible as we’re looking for an official release near the beginning of next week.

Version History:

• Added the ability to drag and drop text to address bar, which it then navigates to (copy and paste still works without navigating).
• Added RunMRU list (run prompt) to be displayed under the MuvEnum Address Bar History (regression from v3.8.0.0).
• PRO: Added sorting and highlighting of new and merged keywords after import for easy recognition of what was imported.
• Modified Start Menu Links to not be a Pro feature as it was in v3.8.0.0 and previous versions.
• PRO: Fixed exporting of keywords not working correctly.
• Fixed userprofile path names shown as first.last to now show as First Last.
• Fixed environment variables not working correctly (%systemdrive%, etc.) (regression from v3.8.0.0).
• Fixed some issues with paths with arguments and environment variables.
• Fixed issue regarding paths to executables with spaces that have arguments not working.
• Fixed issue where unchecking MuvEnum Address Bar as a history source would still show the history.
• PRO: Fixed “refresh history” not taking into account newly checked or unchecked browsers in the options dialog.

To celebrate the release of the MuvEnum Address Bar v5 Beta, we’re going to be giving away a Pro license, randomly selected from every “multiple of 10” (20, 30, 40, 50, etc.) twitter followers we get before the official release.  Example: when we reach 240 followers, we’ll randomly select one follower from #231-#240 to receive a Pro license.

Things are getting a little hectic around here as we near the release of the MuvEnum Address Bar v5.  We’ve spent the last couple of months cranking out features, improvements, and bugfixes that we think every user of the MuvEnum Address Bar will love.  Heck, I’m proud to say that we love them.  That’s one of the faults of being the “Creator”; you fall in love with your creations.  Take Dr. Frankenstein for example…acutally, we take that back.  The Frankenstein monster was hideous on the outside (which, btw, if you think the MuvEnum Address Bar is hideous on the outside, in  MAB Pro v5 you can change that with “Custom Themes“) and we like to think our creation looks nothing like the Frankenstein monster.

That sure was a strange tangent.  Alright then, back to the point.  We think we created a very useful tool with the MuvEnum Address Bar v3.  With v5 (yes, we skipped v4 because we experienced “feature creep” and just couldn’t help ourselves when it came to adding features) we’ve added/fixed everything that was reported and made some fundamental improvements to the usability of the address bar.  We think you’ll love the features and just want to say (yes, it took almost two paragraphs to get to this point) that we greatly appreciate everyone that has supported MuvEnum over the last 4 years.

I know some of you probably read the “Pro” word and gasped.  We’ve kept the original features of the v3 address bar and added a whole bunch of new features to the “free” v5 and then we went ahead and added a whole bunch of additional features to the “free” v5 and made it the “Pro” v5.  For a glance at what the “Pro” version gives you, head on over to our (work-in-progress) version comparison page.  It goes into greater detail about the Themes, Keywords, Advanced Calculator, and History Management.

For all of you donaters that donated before this point in time and are probably upset right now, don’t worry.  You’ll be receiving an email soon with your free “Pro” license(s).  If you don’t get the email by Monday, let us know and we’ll take care of you.

Another fine example of “Software in Motion“. Enjoy!
