Adblock Plus and (a little) more
Adblock Plus 2.3 release candidate available · 2013-07-03 15:42 by Wladimir Palant
It took us some more time than we expected when the previous announcement was published but we now have some release candidates: Adblock Plus 2.2.5a.3667 for Firefox as well as Adblock Plus 1.4.1.944 for Chrome and Opera. The planned release date for Adblock Plus 2.3 for Firefox and Adblock Plus 1.5 for Chrome and Opera is 2013-07-09. Changes since the previous announcement:
- Better buttons on the first-run page
- Firefox only: typo correction feature has been removed (reasoning)
- Firefox only: better localization approach (won’t be visible in this build but should hopefully improve translation quality in the final release)
Known issue: in the Filter Preferences of the Firefox build, access key of the “Backup and Restore” button doesn’t work.

1.4.1.944 update for chrome has removed my lists & the add filter subscription button in options doesn’t do anything?

Yes, I got another report as well that this build is broken – looks like I didn’t test well enough. I will look into it first thing tomorrow. Your settings are fine, they merely aren’t being displayed. Once everything is working they will be back.

Have went back to build 943 the now, is there a easy way to stop it updating to 944?
Have a nice night.

Build 944 has been fixed – turned out it was a server issue, not a code issue as I assumed. There will also soon be a 945 build to make sure everybody has a working version. I’m looking into why that build was created at all despite the error.

Yes, I noticed as well – turned out our new server was missing a library which caused JSHydra to fail. I’m looking into why the build didn’t fail because of this error, it should have…
