Enhancements:

  • Global, user specified, @exclude rules. (#1002)
  • New @match metadata imperative, which supports value document-start, as well as the standard document-end behavior. (#1103)

  • Remote resources (@require, @resource, @icon) that redirect to other URLs will now work. (#1222)

Enhancements:

  • Compatibility with Firefox 6 and 7. ({{GitTicket|1357})
  • GM_openInTab() will respect the insertRelatedAfterCurrent preference. (#1370)

0.9.5

May 26, 2011 [4]

Bug fixes:

  • Installing and uninstalling the same script many times does not work properly. (#1353)
  • GM_xmlhttpRequest() does not work in Firefox 5 betas. (#1354)
  • (Introduced in 0.9.4:) Cannot enable nor disable scripts. (#1355)

0.9.4

Note: Not publicly released due to bugs.

May 24, 2011 [5]

Bug fixes:

  • The GM_openInTab() API again returns a handle to the window object. (#1298)
  • Using alert() will not break setTimeout() nor GM_xmlhttpRequest(). (#1318)
    Note: we currently only have a work-around in place, watch mozilla bug 647727 for a real fix.

Enhancements:

  • When re-ordering execution of scripts: clicking the first/last item disables sooner/later items, and picking any of these will switch to Execution Order sort (if it is not already selected).

0.9.3

April 28, 2011 [6]

  • Compatibility enhancement with AutoPager (broken in 0.9.2). (#1344)
  • Passing a non-function to GM_registerMenuCommand()'s commandFunc broke the entire menu, and items showed up in the wrong order (both broken in 0.9.2). (#1346, #1347)

Enhancements:

  • Passing the Referer header works, for GM_xmlhttpRequest(). (#1240)
  • Accessibility: The sort buttons in the Add-ons Manager work with keyboard input (space/enter). (#1345)

0.9.0

January 18, 2011 [10]

Features:

  • Compatibility with Firefox 4! Firefox 4 support is still preliminary. Everything probably works, but not everything works really well. The backlog of bugs for the next release is primarily focused on this.
  • Complete integration with the standard Firefox Add-ons dialog, treating User Scripts as just another kind of browser add-on. (See the reference link above for screenshots.)
  • A global options dialog, where the script editor can always be selected. (#1012, #1109)
  • Live in-place editing for the entire script, including metadata (@name, @require, @include, @exclude, etc.). (#1148, #1157, #1165)
  • Web pages that end in .user.js are loaded as normal, instead of being installed as a user script. (#1184)

Bug fixes / minor enhancements:

  • All Greasemonkey windows respond to standard close window keyboard shortcuts. (#1085)
  • Support for @icon metadata imperative, displayed in the new add-ons manager integration. (#1096)

  • Fix for ticket #111 (anomalous separators in the monkey menu).

0.8.20080609.0

June 12th, 2008 [16]

0.7

0.7.20080121.0

Jan 21st, 2008 [17]

  • Security release where GM_xmlhttpRequest, GM_getValue and GM_setValue were hardened against a privilege escalation attack targeting specific user scripts accessing anything through unsafeWindow, thus gaining content code unrestricted access to those methods (thanks Anthony Lieuallen).
    This change breaks backwards compatibility for scripts granting page code direct or limited access to either method via function references on unsafeWindow; see 0.7.20080121.0 compatibility for available workarounds.

0.7.0

May 24th, 2007 [18]

  • Fixed the bug where you can't install scripts if you have never disabled Greasemonkey.
  • Fixed the bug where drag and drop in the manage dialog only works once per view.
  • Fixed the bug where removing a script in the manage dialog also removes the last script.

0.6

0.6.9

May 9th, 2007 [19]

Introduced:

  • You can now reorder the scripts in the manage dialog with drag drop or the arrow keys.
  • You can now use Firebug's console object to debug Greasemonkey if you have Firebug installed.
  • Fix bug where install dialog would pop up when Greasemonkey is disabled.
  • Make Greasemonkey enable/disable keyboard accessible. #9

0.6.8

March 17th, 2007 [20]

Introduced:

  • Rewrite of 'New Script...' UI. It now pops up a nice UI to get the script details and then generates and opens a script which is already installed that you can edit in one step. This is a huge improvement in the usability of this feature. Thanks to Anthony Lieuallen for the implementation.
  • Improvements to error reporting. Most types of errors in user scripts now give the correct line number in the error message. You can also click on the filename in Firebug to view the script, as with other types of errors in Firefox. Anthony is also responsible for this improvement.
  • Added support for overrideMimeType to GM_xmlhttpRequest. Thanks to Lior Zur for the patch. To use, add overrideMimeType: "yourmimetypehere" to the object you pass to GM_xmlhttpRequest.
  • New translations for Finnish, Japanese, and Russian. The Greasemonkey UI looks particularly cool in Japanese. Thanks to Tommi Rautava, Hisateru Tanaka, and Александр Соколов for their contributions.

0.6.7

February 7th, 2007 [21]

Introduced:

  • Fixed the manage dialog so that it doesn't bounce around when you select different user scripts (thanks Anthony Lieuallen)
