Adblock Plus and (a little) more

Compatible with Adblock Plus 1.3, older Adblock Plus versions are no longer supported
Compatible with Firefox 4, dropped support for Firefox 3.0
Generating more efficient filters by default
Better handling of elements with multiple classes
More reliable approach to determine and mark element position
Selecting parent node and moving to a different child no longer resets selection
New “lock/unlock selection” command
Ctrl+Mousewheel can be used to trigger wider/narrower commands
Alternative set of hotkeys in some languages where two keyboard layouts are possible (e.g. Russian)
Better styling of hotkeys in tooltips
All preferences are now stored under extensions.elemhidehelper.*
Hotkey Ctrl-Shift-S will be used if Ctrl-Shift-K is taken (e.g. in Firefox 4), can be changed in extensions.elemhidehelper.selectelement_key preference
Own icon and About dialog, better mechanism to manage the dependency on Adblock Plus
Composer warns now if the filter is being added to a disabled group
extensions.elemhidehelper.composer_defaultDomain preference determines which domain suggestion is selected by default
Added hidden preference to allow selecting in local files (rules created this way will have no effect)

Thank you, I fixed this: https://hg.adblockplus.org/elemhidehelper/rev/72eb78dbef9b. This change will be part of the next development build: https://adblockplus.org/en/development-builds.

Congratulations on these new releases Wladimir.

The new lock/unlock feature looks really awesome. Though it’s likely that we need it less now, since the new EHH appears to be far more robust and solid than ever. There are so many great improvements.

Thanks Wladimir! Exactly what I was looking for!
