A new release of mozCC is now available for download from http://www.yergler.net/projects/mozcc. mozCC is an extension for Gecko-based browsers which provides an easy way to examine Creative Commons licensing metadata embedded within web pages.

Since the previous list announcement of 0.5, the following updates have been made:

* support has been added for the Mozilla Suite (>= 1.4) and Netscape
* the toolbar icon is added to the toolbar by default now (previously you had to customize the toolbar manually)
* the toolbar icon is greyed out when the page contains no license information
* the status bar icons have been recreated at 20×20 pixels, so they should appear cleaner
* Public Domain licenses are now detected properly
* status bar icons change as appropriate when you switch between tabs (only tested on Firebird; needs testing elsewhere)
* the details tree is expanded by default
* the details tree actually has a title bar on Mac OS X
* simple layout fixes to the details dialog

There are still a few cosmetic issues with Netscape/Mozilla Suite themes (icon sizing and positioning), but the core seems to be working well. Any feedback, suggestions or criticism is welcome. As always, the latest news on mozCC can be found on my blog at http://www.yergler.net/averages/archives/mozcc. Thanks for you help.
