[Build]/[Type] - [Description] ==================================================
Key: E = Enhancement
F = Fix
33707/E - Final packaging changes for release.
33705/F - Fixed crashes of some 64bit processes.
33688/E - A few small filtering tweaks and fixes.
33676/F - Many small fixes and tweaks to memory management and filtering code.
33526/F - Fixed dialog display after registration reset.
33514/F - Fixed icon recreation after explorer crash, also fixed the same when
running as an administrator.
33502/F - Fixed occasional interference with HTTP protocol switching.
33499/F - Welcome balloon is now not shown if balloons are disabled on the
system, which avoids some weirdness when clicking the icon on some
versions of Windows.
33482/F - Fixed system tray error message.
33446/E - Several improvements and bug fixes to the new system tray and other
interface code.
33333/E - Version number is now displayed in a more compact way.
33332/E - Implemented a better method of handling new list formats in the
config file to avoid old types piling up.
33330/E - Removed the recently blocked popup list from the logs tab, as these
are now available through the toolbar and reporting them from the
browser to the program introduces a small delay in opening all
popups.
33317/E - Improved engine behavior when helper files are retrieved and
filtering is disabled.
33316/E - Rewrote the system tray handling code from scratch. Now displays an
"installation complete" balloon on installation or upgrade instead
of opening the browser. Supports high-DPI display setups for the
tray icon, allows for easier language translation, and removes
another chunk of old ASM code.
33177/F - Removed some old tray icon hiding preferences (now just hide/don't
hide).
33176/F - Fixed incorrect behavior when clicking the "Import configuration"
button on the registration dialog.
33175/F - Fixed hung installer on some systems when launching URLs.
33163/F - Fixed OS detection code.
33162/E - Many internal improvements to the codebase.
33128/F - Fixed bandwidth saved value shown on "About" tab.
33126/E - The prompt shown when trying to sort the filters by category or
keyword now defaults to "No".
33126/F - Fixed version reporting when sending reports from the toolbar.
33109/F - Fixed broken shortcut key combos.
33108/E - Removed the option to open blocked popups from the system tray menu,
as this is now available in-browser with the toolbar.
33104/E - Added an option to the "Interface" tab to disable the in-browser
toolbar if required.
33103/E - Many more improvements to helper script handling.
33070/E - Improvements to helper script handling.
33068/E - Removed the option to prevent modifications to the browser status
bar. No modern browser needs this feature as they have all removed
support for status bar modifications.
33053/F - Fixed potential crash when a page was excluded from filtering and
then included again.
33033/E - Added hotpatch support to patching engine.
33016/E - Improved the appearance of the system tray icons.
33013/E - Improved tag removal code.
33006/F - Fixed bug where installations that were configured to check for
beta updates and had basic licenses were failing to receive non-beta
list versions.
33004/E - Finished implementing a new toolbar system for Ad Muncher. This
system displays a toolbar inside filtered pages when ctrl or shift
is pressed while right-clicking on a page, or when a popup is blocked
or other information needs to be displayed.
This system has replaced the old browser extension system and means
we don't need a different version of the extensions for every
browser type, and will allow us to expose much more complex
functionality in the future.
32986/F - Fixed crashes under Windows XP.
32954/E - Improvements to mutex handling in the config code.
32935/F - Fix to the beta update check frequency.
32934/E - Improved handling of MP4 videos.
32932/E - The "about" tab of the configuration window now shows the last four
characters of the registration code to help users see which code is
in use.
32930/E - More improvements to exclusion handling and helper script embedding.
32888/E - Made browser extension compatible with recent Firefox releases.
32886/E - Vastly improved handling of external content on excluded pages so
that excluded pages should rarely need extra filters to exclude
them completely from filtering.
32869/F - Fixed possible loss of licensing details when retrieving updates.
32864/E - Improvements to helper script insertion.
32852/E - Moved the helper script and CSS to external files so that the amount
of code inserted into filtered pages is reduced substantially.
32836/E - Implemented the ability to supply extra content via the server
supplied filter list. This is currently used for the helper scripts
but can be extended to allow us to package icons/etc for use in a
web interface.
32805/E - Improved method used for replacing script tags to avoid problems on
some sites.
32803/F - Fixed possible breaking of the helper script if the user switches
between different versions of the betas.
32800/E - Reduced the number of changes Ad Muncher's helper script needs to
make to certain anchor tags to avoid conflicts with some sites, eg:
Tips and tricks
•Hold CTRL or SHIFT and right-click on a filtered page to display the Ad Muncher toolbar, you can then report or exclude a page from filtering, as well as block content that annoys you.
•Right-click twice on the Ad Muncher system tray icon to quickly disable and enable filtering.
•If the system tray icon is red, it means filtering is currently disabled.
•Notices about blocked popups can be disabled under the "Options" / "Popups" section of the configuration window.
•If a page has not been filtered, please check if the URL starts with "HTTPS". If so, Ad Muncher currently cannot filter encrypted connections like this.
