Adblock Plus and (a little) more

Release candidate with fixes for Firefox 3.0.9 · 2009-04-12 00:59 by Wladimir Palant

A new Adblock Plus 1.0.1+ development build (2009041209) has been uploaded. This is a release candidate for Adblock Plus 1.0.2 that makes element hiding compatible with Firefox 3.0.9. A new branch ADBLOCK_PLUS_1_0_BRANCH has been created for this release, it doesn’t contain the refactoring work happening on the default branch.

Note: Re-uploaded the development build to fix the compatibility range for Firefox.

Changes

• Element hiding works in Firefox 3.0.9 and higher again (broken by fix for bug 416942)
• Regular expressions with $domain options are recognized correctly
• Blockable items: when copying addresses or filters to clipboard platform’s linebreaks are used as separator (previously: Unix linebreaks)
• Preferences: using more compact date formatting for last hit column and last download of subscription

   This release is only for 3.0.9, right?
   I’m asking because I’m getting here lots of empty ad boxes on various pages with Rick’s and Ares’ current filter lists.
   Maybe the filter lists have to be adjusted to the changes?

   No, the functionality is supposed to be unchanged in older Firefox versions. Can you please point me to a particular web page?

   cnn.com, betanews.com, filehippo.com, neowin.net, and a bunch of other sites. The empty ad boxes are not visible with 3.0.8 and the latest filter list’s from Rick and Ares.
