Adblock Plus and (a little) more

Note: This release will work only with K-Meleon 1.6. For older K-Meleon versions please continue using Adblock Plus 1.0.2. There is also a number of known issues.

Adblock Plus 1.3.5 for K-Meleon release candidate available · 2011-03-23 16:34 by Wladimir Palant

The current development build (Adblock Plus for K-Meleon 1.3.5rc.164) is a release candidate. While there are still some unresolved issues, I think that it is more important to bring out Adblock Plus 1.3.5 for K-Meleon when we release the Firefox version. Changes since the previous announcement:

Fixed broken toolbar icon when using K-Meleon on Windows XP
K-Meleon packages now contain all the locales that are available for Adblock Plus
Object tabs are working
No longer crashing in K-Meleon 1.7 (however, not fully functional there either)
Initial size of “Add filter subscription” dialog is set correctly now
Added work-around for K-Meleon bug 1297

Remaining known issues:

K-Meleon crashes if the report link is clicked after submitting the report (K-Meleon bug 1299)
ABP icon state and list of blockable items do not update correctly if a blank tab is open
Size of the “Add filter subscription” dialog changes incorrectly when switching to “Add a different subscription” and back (K-Meleon bug 1298)
Blockable items window cannot be closed with hotkeys (Esc or Ctrl+Shift+V)
Preferences dialog: “Show in toolbar” option should be hidden

Installation:

Adblock Plus for K-Meleon development builds are available again · 2011-01-18 17:50 by Wladimir Palant

Adblock Plus for K-Meleon development builds are now available again (for K-Meleon 1.6 only). Unlike for the other development builds, the update process here is manual — both on my side (because a Linux server cannot compile Windows code) and on user’s side (because K-Meleon doesn’t have an extension installation mechanism). So, grab a build, install it by unpacking into the K-Meleon application directory and subscribe to the RSS feed because that’s the only way for you to get notified about important changes.

These development builds are very much work in progress, many parts aren’t working yet. Here are the known issues:

List of blockable items doesn’t show anything
ABP icon state doesn’t always update properly (particularly on tab changes and when working with multiple windows)
Issue reporter gets stuck collecting data
About dialog won’t load
Window sizes aren’t persisted properly
“Tabs on Flash and Java” feature doesn’t work
Left-click and middle-click on the icons won’t work
Search in Preferences window is only partially working (this is K-Meleon bug 1237)
