Release 1.2.6

Upon checking the extension with FF 4.0b2pre I discovered that the XML-export was broken, it produced an empty file. It turned out that obtaining the name and version of the extension, which is added to the XML-file, used some obsolete methods on the rdfExtension handler I had changed recently to support the new addon-manager.

Having fixed this bug I noticed an exception in the errorconsole which was caused by the fact that on a fresh profile the cleanup db not yet exists. If the preferences dialog is openend, it tries to determine the filesize which will cause an exception to be thrown.

Having fixed these issues I increased the maxVersion for the extension on Firefox to 4.0b2pre.

Release 1.2.5

Did some more testing on the SeaMonkey nightly build which caused me to do some bugfixing.

I increased the maxversion of SeaMonkey to 2.1a3pre

I solved a little bug: when using a new profile, the formhistory is not created yet (by SM) and the extension should show a warning about that fact. Instead it displayed an error about the directory not being writable instead of a warning about the database not being created yet.

Added a workaround for SeaMonkey: In order to display translators/contributors in the about-dialog, the new Addon object (obtained from the new Addon manager) has no getResourceURL() method where it does exist(!) in FF.

Release 1.2.4

The Portuguese translation for the latest version became available and is now included in this version.

I tested Form History Control on the nightly build of Firefox (3.7a6pre) to discover that the Extension manager had been replaced by a new Addon manager. This change affected both the About dialog and the information tab in the Preference dialog. Both dialogs display some information about the Extension itself which is obtained from the Extension manager. I had to make some changes in order to make it work with both the old and new manager.

Changed the Firefox maxVersion to 3.7a6pre in install.rdf.

I also tested the new beta version of the Flock browser. Since the new version is based on Google Chrome, the Form History Control Extension will no longer be supported.

Release 1.2.3

This release only contains a bugfix for the non critical error: redeclaration of const FhcShowDialog.

Release 1.2.2

A bug was detected by one of the SeaMonkey users (thanks to Cat). The cause was a function in Javascript which tried to detect whether the browser was in private browsing mode. This test failed in SeaMonkey causing the formhistory not being displayed.

Also in this release two new locales (not finished in time for the previous release), German and Italian.

[update 1 May 2010]
Version 1.2.2 has been reviewed and made public as of 1 May.

Release 1.2.1

Finally, after months of hard work the new version is ready for release. I have added many new features, incorporating most of the feature requests made on this blog (see release notes).

Not all translations were finished, but I did not want to wait any longer releasing this version. The finished translations are Czech, English, Spanish, French and Dutch.
Not finished yet are: bg-BG, de-DE, pt-BR, hu-HU, it-IT, ru-RU, sk-SK, tr-TR and zh-CN. As soon as they become available I will create a new version and upload it to Mozilla.

The review process at AMO should be a lot faster nowadays, I hope the add-on becomes available within the next two weeks.

[update 13 Apr 2010]
Version 1.2.1 has been reviewed and made public as of 13 April.

Release 1.1.4

Corrected some translation errors in locales de-DE, nl-NL, pt-BR and ru-RU. Apparently some translations were not uploaded to Babelzilla in utf-8. My IDE did not create an utf-8 encoded formhistory.properties file for de-DE, nl-NL and pt-BR since all characters fitted the latin character set. The ru-RU translation probably was not in utf-8 either but some other (non latin, non utf-8) code-page.

Anyhow, I have uploaded a new version 1.1.4 with the correct translations. It is now in the sandbox waiting to be reviewed and released. If you can not wait you can download it from here.

[update 19 Dec 2009]
Version 1.1.4 has been reviewed and made public as of 19 December.
