Greasemonkey 0.9.16 Release

The entire list of bugs handled in this release is also available via the 0.9.16 milestone on GitHub. Note that as always it takes some time for Mozilla to review the new version, but it's available on the all versions page immediately.

If you are using it and notice problems, it's best to log an issue or let us know at greasemonkey-dev (and be clear that it's with this version).

Enhancements:
Expose information (including Greasemonkey version) to user scripts via GM_info. (#1452; also see #1512) Track the install time of scripts.  (This is designed to better support automatic updates for scripts ... still coming soon.)  (#1513)
Bug fixes:
Editing script from the "New User Script" feature, to change any remote dependency (@icon, @require, @resource), could the script to malfunction. (#1504) Enabling/disabling scripts from the status bar menu (Firefox 3 only). (#1506) Incompatibility with GreaseFire.  (#1507) Failures during "Check for Updates" from the Add-on manager. (#1509)

Greasemonkey 0.9.15 Release

The entire list of bugs handled in this release is also available via the 0.9.15 milestone on GitHub. Note that as always it takes some time for Mozilla to review the new version, but it's available on the all versions page immediately.

If you are using it and notice problems, it's best to log an issue or let us know at greasemonkey-dev (and be clear that it's with this version).

This release was hurried, to resolve a few serious bugs introduced in 0.9.14. A few other bugs were also fixed.

Bug fixes:
Editing an installed script to change any remote dependency (@icon, @require, @resource) could cause one or many scripts to be deleted. (#1466, #1502) Certain @requires can break a script, due to javascript semicolon insertion rules.  (#1491) Toggling the enabled state of a script via the main (Tools > Greasemonkey) menu failed on Mac.  (#1496) Installing a script from local disk failed in 0.9.14.  (#1501)

Greasemonkey 0.9.14 Release

The entire list of bugs handled in this release is also available via the 0.9.14 milestone on GitHub. Note that as always it takes some time for Mozilla to review the new version, but it's available on the all versions page immediately.

If you are using it and notice problems, it's best to log an issue or let us know at greasemonkey-dev (and be clear that it's with this version).

Enhancements:
For new script installs, and installed scripts' updates (still not enabled by default) there is a progress meter for the download. (#1419)
Bug fixes:
Revert the changes to GM_xmlhttpRequest() in 0.9.13 (which were supposed to have no effect, but created a subtle bug). (#1472) Guarantee that we do not create a specific kind of memory leak.  (#1482)

Greasemonkey 0.9.13 Release

The entire list of bugs handled in this release is also available via the 0.9.13 milestone on GitHub. Note that as always it takes some time for Mozilla to review the new version, but it's available on the all versions page immediately.

If you are using it and notice problems, it's best to log an issue or let us know at greasemonkey-dev (and be clear that it's with this version).

Enhancements:
Script updates install automatically. (#1442)
In 0.9.12 we added update checking.  In 0.9.13 updates install automatically, but there's still some discussion over how to handle this best (#1455), so checking is still not enabled by default.  We hope to figure this out by the 0.9.14 release.  Some other update related work was done, mostly to make Firefox 3 work better.  (#1421, #1422, #1423)
Provide an Options item in the Monkey Menu. (#1447) Add a Cancel button to the Options window. (#1454)
Bug fixes:
GM_getResourceText() was broken. (#1438) You can properly select an application (bundle) for the editor on Mac OS X.  (#1439) Fix GM_openInTab() for Firefox 3. (#1444) Fix when pages reassign the location during page load. (#1445)

Greasemonkey Usage by Firefox Version, Oct 2011

Just like August's post, here's a graph of what versions of Firefox people use Greasemonkey with.

You can open the spreadsheet for the raw data and a larger graph.

Takeaways seem to be not a lot has changed, besides some up-and-down for each rapid release version since then (6 came and went, with 7 replacing it).  Firefox 3.6 users are still just shy of three quarters of a million.  Firefox versions too old for the newest version of Greasemonkey are still hanging in at almost a quarter million, and just shy of 50,000 users are running a too-new version of Firefox, probably with Add-on Compatibility Reporter.

Greasemonkey 0.9.13 beta1

Greasemonkey release 0.9.13 should include complete automatic in-the-backgroudn updating of user scripts.  As yet there are no docs for script authors but the short version is: put an @version in your metadata, and increase it when there is an update.

Greasemonkey 0.9.13 beta1 is now available for testing.  It's in the Mozilla Add-ons beta channel. Open the "Development Channel" drop down at the bottom of the page, and click the "Add to Firefox" button.

Please report an issue or find us at the mailing list to provide feedback on beta versions.
