                             DEVONagent Pro 3.11.8

   Agen Schmitz

   DEVONtechnologies has updated all three editions of its [1]DEVONagent
   research software (Lite, Express, and Pro) to version 3.11.8. All three
   titles gain a new plug-in for querying the [2]Ecosia search engine,
   which uses its profits to invest in tree-planting programs. For more
   focused search results with Google and Web plug-ins, DEVONagent now
   uses verbatim searches and proximity searches (e.g., using the NEAR
   operator) to produce better results. DEVONagent Pro no longer plays
   audio and video files automatically when a page is loaded, updates the
   text color to improve contrast, adds support for importing larger Web
   histories from Safari (or using the History plug-in), makes AppleScript
   and JavaScript for Automation (JXA) more reliable, fixes a bug that
   caused a crash after pop-ups automatically opened and closed, and
   ensures that the action button appears correctly in the latest versions
   of macOS. (All updates are free. DEVONagent Lite, free; DEVONagent
   Express, $4.95 new; DEVONagent Pro, $49.95 new with a 25% discount for
   [3]TidBITS members; various sizes; release notes available in the Help
   menu; macOS 10.14+)
