0.9.0.0

Major changes from previous version, most notably:

• Firefox support (not legacy).
• New unified logger.
  • It's purpose is to display all events of interests -- waterfall style.
  • The matrix can be opened and used from within the logger.
  • All network traffic is displayed at once, including behind-the-scene network traffic.
• A new block page for blacklisted web sites (more in line with uBlock).
  • This eliminates the spurious conflict warning on Chromium-based browsers when uMatrix is used with another extension which tries to redirect network requests.
• Ability to collapse placeholder of blocked elements.
• Assets updater improvements imported from uBlock.
• A lot of code refactoring.

The work on the Firefox port was to bring uMatrix as is from Chromium (@Deathamns' and @AlexVallat's work was imported from uBlock). I am aware that Firefox provides more control than Chromium in a couple of areas, I intend to perform the required work to ensure that one browser is not penalized by the restriction of another one. Do not file issues for this please.

Other changes:

• Smart reload is gone:
  • Code was too complicated for what I consider a non-essential feature, compromising uMatrix's stability (my main goal).
  • The code relied in part on behavior specific to Chromium.
  • After using uBlock for weeks, months, I now favor having the user reload on his own when he decides so. I like it this way personally. You will quickly get used to it.
  • The matrix can be stickied in the logger, rendering auto-reload irrelevant.
  • The auto-reload code was not completely reliable anyway, it did not always accomplish its purpose (because point 1. and 2. above)
• Customizing blocked frame placeholders was removed (color, opacity)
  • It's now a fixed background, I tried to make it as soft to the eye as possible while keeping it recognizable.
  • The blocked frames/images can now be optionally collapsed.

This is a mature software, and I will be extremely conservative with adding features, and I already have plan to add very specific features to address real usability issues.

So please if you want to file an issue, stick to serious functional issues^[1].

_{[1] One example of "serious functional issues": uMatrix not blocking network requests it is supposed to block.}

Not much really (see commit history since 0.8.1.3): imported translation work from Crowdin and updated 3rd-party assets.

Mostly this version is to update uMatrix in Opera add-ons store.

µMatrix 0.8.0.1

Notes:

This version was submitted to the Opera store.

Changes:

• Use Element.classList rather than manually parsing Element.className

µMatrix 0.8.0.0

Changes:

• Translation work from Crowdin.

µMatrix 0.8.0.0-rc.2

Changes:

• Translation work: Russian by odd-coder

µMatrix 0.8.0.0-rc.1

Changes:

• Translations for two more languages ongoing: Russian and Hindi.
• The switch: directive has been renamed more appropriately matrix:. Old directive name will still be valid until I have good confidence everybody uses the new directive name.

µMatrix 0.8.0.0-rc.0

Notes:

Unless major issues surface, I consider this version a release candidate. I wish I could have put back presets and add the https and UA-spoofing switches, but I have to take a break a bit and I can't hold back the release for much longer. I rather have new users use µMatrix rather than HTTP Switchboard. So let's see whether this version is good enough for the various web stores.

Closed as fixed:

• Update doc folder
