flickrfox 0.9.5

This update to flickrfox implements Flickr’s new authentication mechanism for third party applications. It also adds a nifty throbber. You’ll no longer need to use your flickr username and password to use flickrfox. The first time you start it up, you’ll be sent to a page at Flickr, where you can authorize flickrfox to read your photos.

I’m happy to say that my initial reservations about the authentication changes in the Flickr API were totally off-base. The flickreenos have come up with a really elegant model for distributed authentication.
