Droid Explorer is, as of the time I am writing this, the #9 most downloaded project on CodePlex. I think this is awesome and want to thank everyone that is using Droid Explorer.
I have been hard at work fixing the issue with the Droid Explorer Service. This is the service that identifies when a device is connected to the PC and shows the device in Explorer. I will have the fix in place by the end of the week and published.
I have also been working the Droid Explorer branch that will become the 0.9.x release. This will be the first version that will support non-rooted devices. The only requirement is that the device can be seen via ADB. All functionality may not be initially available to non-rooted devices, especially in the first versions of the 0.9.x releases. I will be refactoring more and more of the code to stop using custom communication via adb.exe and use the same communication methods that the DDMS uses. This will be accomplished by using MAD Bee.
I am also shooting for an update mechanism being built in to Droid Explorer in the 0.9.x releases. It is going to be a framework that will use an Atom feed to get available updates. It will allow multiple update locations, to allow plugins to specify their own update feed source. Updates can define requirements, minimum/maximum version, and how to “install” the updates. But that is a bit off from being incorporated, it may not make it in until a few releases in to the 0.9.x releases.
