Changes to the Adblock Plus release process (or why the new version isn't available on addons.mozilla.org) · 2011-02-16 15:08 by Wladimir Palant

A while ago there was an announcement that AMO would try to reduce the number of “trusted” add-ons (meaning: add-ons where an update would immediately become available without review). The old approach was to mark add-ons as “trusted” if they are popular and go through a thorough testing process before each release. The new approach is to grant this status only if absolutely needed. Obviously, Adblock Plus and Element Hiding Helper no longer match the definition of a “trusted” add-on and so this status has been revoked now.

Diagnostics 1.1.4 for Adblock Plus released · 2011-02-16 14:50 by Wladimir Palant

Starting with Diagnostics 1.1.4 this extension will no longer be available on the Mozilla Add-ons website. The main purpose of this release is to switch over update checks to adblockplus.org, this will allow automatic notifications about updates. It also fixes a minor issue: homepage link in the About Diagnostics dialog didn’t work.

Renaming extensions · 2010-05-21 11:24 by Wladimir Palant

Some people using development builds probably noticed already: the full name of Element Hiding Helper is no longer “Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper” but rather “Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus”. Given that some people are still confusing Element Hiding Helper with Adblock Plus this change is long overdue. The only reason it hasn’t been implemented earlier is that the new name is no longer language-neutral, it needs to be translated into various languages. But that’s something that can be done now. Element Hiding Helper also got its own icon which is slightly different from the Adblock Plus icon.
