Installation

https://adblockplus.org/devbuilds/

Changes

  • Added new filter composer dialog that is opened to add a new filter
  • Added hidden preference extensions.adblockplus.usefiltercomposer to choose between filter composer and preferences dialog for adding of new filters (this preference might be removed later)
  • Blockable items: Changed default action for blocked items to “add exception rule” instead of “edit filter”
  • Fixed: Subscriptions are sometimes loaded from browser cache
  • Added hidden preference extensions.adblockplus.savestats to allow turning off hit statistics (useful if patterns.ini is put into a version control system)
  • Firefox 1.5, Thunderbird 1.5 and SeaMonkey 1.0 are no longer supported
  • Flock 1.2 is supported now
  • Cleaned up some backwards compatibility hacks
  • Removed ancient drag&drop handling code (not discoverable and not advertised anywhere)

Known issues

  • Filter composer should warn if Adblock Plus is disabled
  • Filter composer should have a help text for “custom pattern” field
  • Filter composer won’t work in Firefox 2
  • Clicks on the status bar icon are ignored
