*more progress with the xml file portions implemented, specific search almost done, bug access cleaned up some and some more fixes. Next I'm going to finish the specific search and the xml file portion and then I'll post a dev release. I'm hoping to have a full public release in the near future.
*Had a sick day from school so I got some more done. This dev release is looking much better with the search working along with the removal of the old preference code and some other small additions such as being able to load each area (bug list, bug search, and bug details) into the main browser window. Next I'm going to finish the status and knob stuff which ties into the instance specific xml file. [http://cs1.senecac.on.ca/~b6001a07/buggybar-dev-0.1.3.xpi buggybar-dev-0.1.3.xpi]
*Finished bugzilla login and it works pretty well, just one last feature and its release time!
*Finished bugzilla instance specific commit options XML parsing. This completes the the feature list for ver 0.2 and once I finish documenting and setting up the add-ons pages this version will be posted.
* BuggyBar 0.2 Release!

* ver 0.2.1 Modified bugAccess to be less picky about bugList syntax to support some other Bugzilla instances. Download ver 0.2 above for changes
* ver [http://cs1.senecac.on.ca/~b6001a07/buggybar-0.2.xpi 0.2.2] made some more small changes to bug list so it has actual columns and modified some back end code. Change log will be coming soon as I get a chance.

==Example XML Bugzilla Instance File==
This file is the default bug instance file which is meant for the Mozilla instance. It can be used for reference when designing a new file for another instance. This file defines three main things. First the product list which is used by the specific search. Second the bug statuses and what statuses each one can be changed to. Finally it defines the "Knob" for each status which is the parameter used by Bugzilla to change these statuses.
*This file can be downloaded [http://cs1.senecac.on.ca/~b6001a07/bugzilla_instance_Data-mozilla.xml here]
