RequestPolicyContinued ChangeLog

Note: ChangeLogs for the source code and unit tests, both not relevant for users, you can find in the dedicated subdirectories.

Version 1.0.beta10

  • The extension ID has changed (#609). It has to be taken care that different versions of RequestPolicy aren't installed at the same time. When upgrading from an older version there shouldn't be any problems though.
  • updated translation (eu, zh-CN)

Version 1.0.beta9.3 (bugfix)

  • it was not possible to import rules from RequestPolicy 0.5.x Old rules can now be imported on about:requestpolicy?oldrules.
  • when a user was upgrading from 0.5.x, the default policy afterwards was "allow", but it has to be "deny".

Version 1.0.beta9.2 (bugfix)

  • the redirection notification bar has been shown too often (#561, #630)

Version 1.0.beta9.1 (bugfix)

  • rules with a port specified in the origin or destination haven't been working (#627)

Version 1.0.beta9

  • new features
    • RPC is now a bootstrapped addon. (#489) This means that the addon can be installed, upgraded etc. without restarting firefox.
    • the RequestLog now has a RegEx filter (#537)
    • releases are now signed (#465)
    • On preferences pages, if a preference's value gets changed somewhere else, the preferences page is automatically updated. See for example commit 576d09d.
  • updated translation (ja, de)
  • bugfixes
    • bugs regarding requests with an origin and/or destination without a host:
      • The request log did not show such requests; now it does.
      • Such requests have always been rejected until the workaround introduced in beta8. This bug has now been fixed, so the workaround has been removed. (#447) In fact a user can now define rules which specify only a "scheme", no "host". Such rules will match also on requests without host.

Version 1.0.beta8.2 (bugfix)

  • fix a bug that caused the subscription deny_trackers.json to be ignored (#582)
  • add some schemes to the temporary whitelist, see #447
    • gopher
    • spotify
    • greasemonkey-script
    • floatnotes

Version 1.0.beta8.1 (bugfix)

  • it was not possible to delete rules (#514)

Version 1.0.beta8

  • new features
    • Changes to the Manage Policies page, thanks to @chrisbura (#459)
      • changes to the style (form and list prettified. removed iframe.)
      • The list now includes temporary rules and subscription rules.
    • the redirect notification now shows a "more" button, just like RP v0.5 does. (#468, 48364cd)
    • the "auto reload" option from RP v0.5 is now available (#466)
    • ensure that all preference tabs that might be open always show the currently valid preference. Each tab automatically refreshes if anything is changed. Also the list in yourpolicy.html, it gets updated automatically when rules are added or removed.
    • added information to the "origin" and "other origins" entries in the menu (446e54b)
      • the number of requests is displayed.
      • a flag in front of the entries will indicate whether requests have been blocked specific for that origin.
    • images of blacklisted domains are now not displayed at all (no placeholders), thanks to @SkySkimmer (pull request #506, closes #304)
    • Subscriptions are now downloaded from https://github.com/RequestPolicyContinued/subscriptions You are very welcome to help working on the list!
  • updated translation (fr, it, lv-LV, zh-CN)
  • several links to requestpolicy.com have been replaced
  • bugfixes
    • The initial setup didn't appear when firefox was set to restore the previous session on startup (#479, dd7a707)
    • NewsFox extension: Links inside articles not working (#503, 7ceef9f)
    • temporary bugfix against some non-host URI schemes, such as mailto, feed and mediasource. RP currently cannot handle URIs not containing a host. Solving this cleanly is milestoned for version 1.0 stable. (#447)

Version 1.0.0b7 (changes since 1.0.0b3)

  • forked version 1.0.0b3 from https://github.com/RequestPolicy/requestpolicy/tree/dev-1.0
  • new features:
    • icons added to the destinations list of the menu. The new icons are: a question mark, an "allowed" sign and a "denied" sign. A question mark means that the default policy applied for that destination.
    • The number of requests to a destination can be displayed in the menu. This depends on the boolean preference "menu.info.showNumRequests". Also duplicate requests are counted.
    • The destinations in the menu can now be sorted in different ways. It's possible to sort by…
      1. …the number of requests (highest number first)
      2. …the destination domain name (alphabetically)
      3. …no sorting at all (like in version 0.5.* until now) See commit 2d0461f.
  • updated translation (zh-CN)
  • bugfixes
    • flag color changes and visibility in Australis (#429, #436), on custom toolbars (#291) and in about:customizing (#436).
    • row background colors in the request log (#380)
    • clicking "View Selection Source" now works (#312, dd2b4e5)
    • URLs in the text without a surrounding <a> element ("text-links") now work. (#413, 4dfa13d)
    • fix browser UI freeze when the RP menu is closed and the page reload requires to send again form data. (#365, 4891c5a)
