Hey Watir folks, update on Vapir <http://vapir.org/> - 1.9.0 is out! With
all the mutterings here about JSSH, I figured I'd copy the announcement over
here.

  gem update vapir-firefox vapir-ie

- MozRepl <https://github.com/vapir/vapir/wiki/MozRepl> support - may
JSSH<https://github.com/vapir/vapir/wiki/JSSH> die
soon. (JSSH is still supported for Firefox versions < 4, though)
- Support for Firefox 4, 5, 6 (beta), and 7 (alpha). Mostly, anyway - not
completely, officially, because there are yet a few unit test failures, but
it all works. (Firefox 8 alpha is not yet working at all. yes, there is an 8
alpha out already as a nightly)
- Support for IE9. There may be some issues with UAC. All the tests pass for
me, but not entirely reliably. Let me know what you run into.
- Speed! MozRepl gets about 1.5× right off, and other optimizations get
another 2×. Or maybe it was the other way around.
- some minor bugfixes which should improve stability and reliability.
- many internal code improvements

To use MozRepl, you should install the extension into whatever Firefox
profile you use with Vapir. The extension is available at:
https://github.com/downloads/vapir/mozrepl/mozrepl_vapir_2de870.xpi
Then update your configuration
<https://github.com/vapir/vapir/wiki/Config> (this
is probably in ~/.vapir_config.yaml) to add the configuration setting:
  firefox_extension: mozrepl

See also Settings <https://github.com/vapir/vapir/wiki/Settings> which you
should set.
