Google+ Changed, G+7 Had To Be Fixed

I have noticed a couple of days ago, that very important functionality in the G+7 desktop gadget stopped working. You could no longer view and add comments, add +1s or share.

Some investigation revealed that Google changed they way they handle dynamic content of Google+. It was a pretty nasty change, as the initial data is no longer included in the page content as a static table, but dynamically created in parts, using Javascript. This made my post about parsing Google+ post pages obsolete. As well as broke G+7.

Fortunately, I managed to reverse-engineer what Google does yet again and prepared version 1.8 of G+7 that brings back the missing functionality.

Go here to download it and enjoy.

I am going to prepare a blog post soon, outlining what Google is doing now on their Google+ pages and how you can parse the new format of the data.
