De ontwikkelaars achter Sick Beard hebben kort na elkaar twee nieuwe builds van hun programma uitgebracht. Sick Beard kan in de gaten houden wanneer er nieuwe afleveringen beschikbaar zijn van je favoriete tv-serie en of er afleveringen van betere kwaliteit te vinden zijn. Daarnaast kan het enige uniformiteit in de naamgeving aanbrengen, en is het mogelijk om afleveringen te downloaden van usenet en in mindere mate via BitTorrent. Het programma wordt vanuit een webbrowser aangestuurd en kan daardoor op elk willekeurig besturingssysteem worden gebruikt. De ontwikkeling bevindt zich in een vroeg stadium en het programma wordt dan ook nog als alfa aangeboden. Het changelog sinds build 485 ziet er als volgt uit:

- Upgraded qtip2 nightly build 2011-04-14 -> 2011-04-25. This included fixes for IE8 desktop and mobile users.
- Removed more unused code, fixed typo, and eliminated extra #.
- Removed unused code.
- Moved 'upgrade-notification' related CSS from the config to default.css since this should be grouped with the other incl_top related css. Tweaked it slightly to reflect a recent font size change which resulted in a cosmetic problem. *Note to self* Do not use %'s for font-size in the future.
- Upgraded qtip2 plugin from 03-09-2011 to 04-14-2011 nightly build, which resolves iOS bugs mainly.
- Updated jquery reference to correct version. Fixed some misc validation things on episodeStatus page.
- After some live testing I'm reverting the showing tooltip on mouseenter.
- Tweaked the coming ep tooltip so that it shows on hover as well now. Hopefully will please everyone. Toggle's tooltip state on click as well.
- Since qtip2 is on git and doesn't have any builds yet I'm going to use the date as the 'version'.
- Tweaked how the total episode/show count is made. Adjusts for if paused shows are shown or not. Also added some extra logic for the 'show' view since it doesn't show duplicate shows (missed episodes)
- Upgraded jquery 1.5.1 -> 1.5.2. Change log: http://blog.jquery.com/2011/03/31/jquery-152-released/
- Applied updated refresh code to the other pages that used it.
- Removed old css and html for the outdated config timezone page.
- Completed tools.tooltip to qtip2 conversion. Added an unofficial tvdb image for coming ep pages.
- Converted plotInfo js to qtip. Need to clean up things before it can be pushed out. But so far it looks pretty nice.
- Added tips plugin to qtip2.
- Twaked coming ep metadata view some more. Got it showing the ep information now.
- Modified coming ep to now show the ep info in a tooltip popup on click. Still missing actions (force update/search/display show link)
- Added AJAX plugin into qtip2, modified qtip css to allow for wider tooltips.
- Trying out qtip2 tooltips for coming ep page.
- Cleaned up some code, removed counters in lieu of redoing the back-end logic to make it easier on the front-end since there is a lot of hackery.
- Changing coming ep non-list view layout with a fluid and streamlined format.
- Removed unused sorting images. Added images for expand/collapse container.
