Hmm, my SeaMonkey v2.19 showed no updates in its addon manager?

Same. It's taking a while.

Ah good. I am not alone. I posted about this in »adblockplus.org/forum/vi ··· &t=16596 and »adblockplus.org/releases ··· #c005000

As of 7/14/2013 morning PDT, their replies said the updates have to be reviewed and can take up to two weeks!

Since the update is minor/small according to its release/change log, I will wait. I am fine with my old ones installed. Who knows, maybe the new updated one has issues.

It's not listed yet on the add-ons page
»addons.mozilla.org/en-US ··· ck-plus/
Make you wonder what Mr. Palant is up to.
Despite all this, mine never auto-updates but then of late, newer is not always better.

Mine updates, but not sure how long after it is released on its web site. I rarely check its web site.

I wish mine did but as I've noted in several threads and am now getting a bit
discouraged with ABP in general - I check the releases or announcements page:
»adblockplus.org/releases/

check your messages

See:
»addons.mozilla.org/en-US ··· ersions/
There is a clear warning from Mozilla as you will see.

Want the latest fixes and features? Use the development build...
Like NoScript (Maone), issues get fixed promptly when reported.

It's finally released according to my SeaMonkey v2.19 and Firefox v22 in Linux/64-bit Debian stable, Mac OS X (10.5.8 and 10.8.4), and Windows (32-bit XP Pro. SP3 and 64-bit 7 EE SP1).

Thanks for letting us know, antdude...here we go again...

Note: The originally released Adblock Plus 1.5.1 for Chrome and Opera had a bug that reset the filter settings.
Adblock Plus 1.5.2 fixes that issue and restores the original data.

Adblock Plus 1.5.5 for Chrome and Opera released
2013-09-02 - 13:13 - by Wladimir Palant

Install Adblock Plus 1.5.5 for Chrome
Install Adblock Plus 1.5.5 for Opera
This release implements a partial work-around for Chromium bug 281711. This bug prevented Adblock Plus from blocking ads on pages that were opened from Flash (e.g. when people clicked the YouTube link inside a YouTube video).

Adblock Plus 2.4 for Firefox, Adblock Plus 1.6 for Chrome and Opera released
· 2013-10-09 16:52 by Wladimir Palant

Install Adblock Plus 2.4 for Firefox
Install Adblock Plus 1.6 for Chrome
Install Adblock Plus 1.6 for Opera(Opera 15 or higher required)

This release improves the first-run page that is common in all three browsers. We redesigned it once again and made sure that new users get a better overview.

Firefox-only changes
• Fixed: Adblock Plus icon wasn't showing up on browser startup for some users.
• Fixed: Redirect blocking wasn't working in current Firefox versions.
• Fixed: Issue reporter fails to process some console errors.
• Fixed: Adblock Plus fails to start up when updating in current Firefox nightly builds (workaround for bug 924340).

Chrome/Opera-only changes
• The number of ads blocked on a page and in total now shows up when in the icon is clicked.

Note: This is the last Adblock Plus for Chrome release where we use Argentinian Spanish when the locale selected in Chrome is "Latin American Spanish." Unfortunately, Chrome doesn't allow supporting the many existing Latin American Spanish dialects properly. However, we've determined that Mexican Spanish will be a better choice for the Latin American region and future releases will use that locale.
