1.3.3 (Sep/6/2010)
One bug fix so that you can read today's hep-th. Stricly speaking, the bug is on the arxiv server: the XHTML file it serves states it uses UTF8, but in reality the abstract of an entry was in Latin-1. This confused my app. Alas. (Sep/7: the admin of the arxiv corrected the database itself, so the version 1.3.2 will work. But you're encouraged to update it anyway.)
1.3.2 (Aug/31/2010)
Many small bug fixes. Incorporates the better pseudo-TeX'ing code by Suzuki-kun. Includes a Safari Extension.
1.3.1 (Mar/29/2010)
Fixed a stupid bug which prevented the app to look up & download old journal articles automatically. Thanks to N. Iizuka.
Please do report whatever inconvenience and/or a bug you found to me. Don't think it might bother me; I heartily welcome it. Your one email can improve the lives of ~100 other theorists!

Bug Fixes. (Reloading arxiv now really reloads clearing web caches. Behavior of "a" was also corrected. My sloppy coding starts to slow down the response of the app once there are more than 3000 entries in the database... Maybe I need to clean up the code and optimize. Ugh.)
