Plucker 1.6 Released

Earlier this month, the Plucker project released Plucker 1.6. I've written about Plucker before and, for those not aware, Plucker is an offline web browser for Palm. The package includes the Plucker Desktop for your PC which can be set to run on a schedule to download web pages during the day which are are installed onto your Palm during your next Hotsync.

In addition to support for anti-aliased fonts and experimental support for tables, I consider this to be a really solid release — while earlier releases had a few quirks, those have all been fixed in this release. In particular, has much lower CPU usage than older versions (which tends to help on an Athlon 700).

Plucker is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. All you need to download is the Plucker Desktop. And, though I’m fairly sure that the Plucker Desktop includes the Plucker Viewer (the application that runs on your Palm), you can always download that separately if you need to (from that same page). And, as always, feel free to make use of Plucker on this page.
