CHANGELOG.md

Change Log

0.5.17 (Jan 23 2015)

• Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since version 0.5.15).

0.5.16 (Jan 22 2015)

• Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)

0.5.15 (Jan 21 2015)

• Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash, but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
• Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site commands.
• Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to be able to force a new tab or window.
• Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using 'Esc'.
• Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
• Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!

0.5.14 (Aug 16 2014)

• Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
• Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
• Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
• Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
• Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an <input> element was focused and then switched back, the <input> element got blurred, while it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX to break.

0.5.13 (Aug 2 2014)

• Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
• Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
• Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
• Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by clicking a menu item).
• Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
• Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
• Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus until you reloaded the page.
• Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
• Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents all automatic focusing (not just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
• Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the keyboard.
• Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).

0.5.12 (June 1 2014)

• Fixed: Autofocus preventiton got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to focus inputs.
