3.1
released January 17, 2010 – current version download for 10.4 only and 10.5 and above (including Snow Leopard)
- Important for those automatically updating through the app: do not install this update if you are on 10.4! Instead, download the 10.4 version here and install it manually. Note that future upgrades will handle per-OS updates properly, as 3.1 includes code changes to support this.
- Snow Leopard support and 64-bit binary
- Better connection handling and stability on 10.5 and above
- Cleanup of menu items and actions to reflect current Facebook site design
- Resolves crashes on startup
- Note that alerts for "New photo comments" are no longer available as Facebook has stopped providing this functionality

1.7
released Feb 12, 2007 – archived version download
- Thanks to tuaw.com featuring FMenu, I got a lot more users...and lot more testers. This latest version brings no new features, but disables a number of submenu items that did not (and currently cannot) work correctly. The Groups submenu, as well as the "Notes about me" and "Photos of me" items went to my (that is, the developer's) pages, instead of the currently logged in user's.
1.6
released Feb 10, 2007 – archived version download
- Friend updates (notes, profile, and status) are now actually functional (they were accidentally broken in the 1.5 release)

- Keyboard shortcuts added to common destinations (however, currently only work if some element (i.e. Quicklaunch) of the program is active)
- The Photos, Shares, Groups, and Notes menu items now have submenus (which can be turned off)
- Full update no longer performed upon Pref window close (as it's no longer necessary)
- Keyboard editing shortcuts (cut, copy, paste, etc) now work properly in the Quicklaunch box
1.4
released Jan 18, 2007 – archived download
- Note: due to the name change from FaceMenu to FMenu, you will need to recreate your Growl notification settings after installing 1.4. Application preferences will carry over, however.
- You can now hide the counter if it's 0 (i.e. only the icon is shown)
- A floating textbox can now be used to search and view friends' profiles. THe box stays on top of all windows. Begin typing, and matches for friends' names will appear. Press enter to open the friend's profile in your browser. If the text you type does not match any names, pressing enter will search facebook for the phrase you entered.

- Update explanatory wall preference text due to facebook.com site changes
