| Wladimir has been busy lately. Looks like another ABP (0.8?) version is getting close to being released with many changes ... some big ... some small.
Anyone who wants to try Adblock Plus 0.7.5.5+ development build (2008072919) can do it here:
»adblockplus.org/development-buil···formance
Changes
* Added new filter composer dialog that is opened to add a new filter
* Moved warning that Adblock Plus is disabled from preferences to composer dialog, made it possible to enable with a single click
* Blockable items: Changed default action for blocked items to “add exception rule” instead of “edit filter”
* Blockable items: Tooltip now shows the filter subscription name in addition to the filter
* Blockable items: Added “Copy filter” item to the context menu
* Blockable items: Multiple selection and copying of multiple addresses/filters now possible
* Blockable items: Added “Select all” item to the context menu
* Fixed: Subscriptions are sometimes loaded from browser cache
* Added hidden preference extensions.adblockplus.savestats to allow turning off hit statistics (useful if patterns.ini is put into a version control system)
* Firefox 1.5, Thunderbird 1.5 and SeaMonkey 1.0 are no longer supported
* Flock 1.2 is supported now
* Cleaned up some backwards compatibility hacks
* Removed ancient drag&drop handling code (not discoverable and not advertised anywhere)
* Fixed: Dates in Preferences window would sometimes use wrong character encoding (bug 441370)
* Preferences: Pasting filters that contain spaces (especially comments) now possible (bug 18920)
* About dialog: Made it possible to select and copy version number
* Made sure filter composer warns the user on regexps and too short filters
* Preferences: Showing exclamation mark for too short filters as well now
* Preferences: Added a tooltip explaining the meaning of the exclamation mark
* Preferences: Removed regular expressions warning and corresponding preference extensions.adblockplus.warnregexp (warning in composer and exclamation mark are enough)
* Preferences: Removed dropdown list from filter editor
* Preferences: Filter changes (with exception of element hiding) no longer apply immediately to the “current” window, this is only done for the composer
* Preferences: “Add subscription” now opens a list of subscriptions instead of the “custom subscription” dialog
* Fixed: Findbar in preferences dialog has no icons (Firefox 3)
* Mac OS X: Preferences menu changed into toolbar to make sure it stays inside the window (forum topic)
* Fixed: Object tabs show up on print (bug 19405)
* New options $third-party and $~third-party restrict filters to third-party/first-party requests
* Subscription download: Next attempt after failed download is after one day now rather than after one hour (preference extensions.adblockplus.subscriptions_fallbackerrors adjusted accordingly)
* Fallback request can now disable automatic downloads for subscriptions that are no longer available
* Fixed: Preferences dialog doesn’t immediately display changes to “downloaded automatically” status
* Fixed: Blockable items list header is hidden in fullscreen mode
* Preferences: “Reset filter statistics” now resets “Last hit” as well
* Preferences: using more obvious image for “enabled” state (forum topic)
* Fixed: “Disable on this page only” won’t work for pages with query string
* Significantly reduced the time for reading patterns list from disk as well as for writing it back
* Reduced the amount of memory used for long filter lists
* Made sure patterns file isn’t overwritten unless write was successful (bug 16488)
