0.1.4.4

0.1.4.3

Release date: 8 July 2014
Performance work: the handling of net requests went on average from above 220ms to under 180ms per net request (as per reference benchmark).

0.1.4.2

Fixed font family used to display requests in Statistics tab.
Now using Number.toLocaleString to display number of requests blocked since install.
- As suggested by a user on Wilders Securities Forums.
This version was submitted to Opera web store.

0.1.4.1

Release date: 7 July 2014
Better layout for log of requests, emphasizing domains.
- No open issue for this one. Changes in 069909117148e5e1bebf119dd532fd88e8dff1d6.

0.1.4.0

Release date: 6 July 2014
New settings: "Enable the logging of non-blocked requests"
- In the Statistics tab in the dashboard.
- Just like the other option to log blocked requests, except this one is to be able to see what was not blocked, along with the relevant exception filter it any.
- Disabled by default.
- Does not affect memory and CPU footprint if disabled.
- Will likely increase a bit memory footprint when enabled (µBlock will still be quite below the memory footprint of big name blockers).
- The logging opens the door to more advanced features if needed, like the disabling of specific filters, or to be able to easily create filters.
Fixed https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/47: "Option to also log non-blocked requests".
Fixed a few glitches which caused the blocking count to be reset constantly on Google Maps, and some others here and there, I didn't feel like opening an issue for each of these. Check the commit if you are really that curious.

Also, I registered the project at Crowdin, so if you want to contribute translation work, that would be the place to do it. I'm learning how all this work, so I might have been clumsy when setting up the project, but it currently works, I might just decide to restructure the directory tree if I can do it without losing work (I thought it had to reflect the project's directory tree here at Github).

0.1.3.4

Release date: 5 July 2014
Fixed https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/46: "uBlock blocking behind the scene requests while it should not".
- This was breaking the ability to log in a user's Google account from the browser's Apps page (chrome://apps, or chrome://chrome-signin).

0.1.3.3

Release date: 5 July 2014
Fixed https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/44: "EasyList Czech and Slovak moved".
Fixed https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/41: "Extremely generic element hiding selectors are current performance bottleneck".
- Probably users won't notice this performance improvement, as the test case used was a demanding one:
  - Tested page, heavily bloated front page of www.si.com (a demanding page for cosmetic filters)
  - I used many lists with cosmetic filters in them: EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Fanboy Annoyance, Fanboy Enhanced Tracking, Fanboy Anti-Facebook.
  - The improvement cuts µBlock's cosmetic filters implementation overhead from 90ms to 60ms per page load for that particularly demanding page (over 2,500 HTML elements), with the above lists (representing over 33,500 cosmetic filters).
  - So if µBlock can do well with this one page, it most certainly can do very well with almost everything else.
