Mosquito 0.2 Released

I've just uploaded Mosquito 0.2 to Mosquito site. This release brings several nice additions:

• Screenshot difference - mosquito now generates screenshot differences with reference shots. To create reference shots just run your mosquito script with -a command line option. For diff sample check previous blog post or samples section at the main mosquito site.
  
• Users Guide
• Mosquito command line options - consult users guide for command line options.
  

Mosquito 0.2 Sneak Peek: Highlighting Differences

I'm going to release a Mosquito 0.2 in several days with a really cool feature. It will be able to save some screenshots as as a "reference" ones. Later, while crawling your site again along with new screenshots you'll get difference heatmaps generated which will make it able to spot diffs in a matter of seconds.

Here're two samples: Opera Signup Page Diff (reference image, current image) - you can see a layout bug in the footer was fixed. And 3 screenshots from the site I'm developing in my spare time: diff, reference and current images. You can spot even a functional change here.

So, stay tuned. Mosquito 2.0 is about to be released in a couple of days!
