Yahoo has released an advanced version of its BrowserPlus Web development technology, enabling developers to use it on their own Web sites for better in-browser uploading and desktop notifications.
BrowserPlus offers a plugin framework for building Web applications that contain desktop capabilities; the browser programming environment can be extended with JavaScript APIs to access desktop facilities. An update to the freely available platform was released late last week.
In a blog detailing the improvements, Lloyd Hilaiel, a member of the BrowserPlus team at Yahoo, cited drag-and-drop capabilities for files and folders.
Desktop notifications in BrowserPlus offer Web sites an unobtrusive hook to inform users about important events or content changes, Hilaiel said.
