You may have noticed that HistoryHound can’t see your browser history when you’re using Firefox 4. The Firefox team used a new version of the SQLite database to store the history and bookmark info in version 4, and that new version actually uses a new file format. Here’s a pre-release build of HistoryHound that’s been updated to understand the new files:

This will be released officially next week (both through our store and the Mac App Store) but we’d like everyone to download and double-check to make sure we haven’t missed anything. Please give it a spin and let us know if you encounter any issues.

Thanks!

The final version of HistoryHound, our  multi-browser search tool , is available!  It now works with the latest versions of Safari, Opera, and Google Chrome, and will also index URLs contained in .webbookmark, .webhistory, and .webloc files. On top of that, HistoryHound is now faster and consumes less of your CPU, addresses a number of bugs and problems, and includes some helpful little enhancements.

Just wanted to compliment you and your staff for the GREAT update to HistoryHound.  1.9.7 really rocks.

Thanks for creating this great and oh-so-useful piece of software.

With all best wishes,

Steve

That about sums it up  You can see a list of all the changes and / or download a copy from the HistoryHound release page.

I just posted a beta version of HistoryHound that addresses a bunch of issues, not the least of which are support for Safari 4 and Opera 10.

Yes, you can now search your history in Safari 4, but it oddly doesn’t sort the results by relevance and it’s difficult to get to the history display in the first place.  It still takes me longer to find something than it does in HistoryHound.  For those of us that search through our histories frequently or use multiple browsers (I use Safari, Firefox, and NetNewsWire myself) HistoryHound is still what I’d choose (no bias here, of course ).

At any rate, hop over to the HistoryHound Beta Testing page to get the details and download a copy.
