3.0.0
New (Pay-for): Snapshots. If you accidentally remove or change a rule, you can easily undo the change by loading a snapshot of the previous rule set and recovering whatever you need to. Snapshots are created any time a rule is modified, added, or removed. Up to 15 snapshots will be stored, but you can also choose to keep some permanently, those won't count towards the storage limit.
New: Quick Add: add a rule just by clicking on an item once. Successive clicks while in simple mode will select parts of the host. A press-and-hold will trigger the standard UI. Quick Add can be enabled under the User Interface settings.
New: A setting has been added to disallow automatic rule creation when Private Browsing mode is enabled. This is now the default action when expert features are enabled and has no effect if they aren't since automatic rules do not exist in simple mode.
New: Like in expert mode, simple mode has gained the ability to detect if a rule exist and, if it does, prompts you to delete it or create a new one. This avoids cluttering the rule list with similar rules that do the opposite of each other.
New: The rule list will now always have a bubble indicating the type of rule, even when expert features are enabled.
New: A new actions toolbar has been added to the rule list to replace the text that appeared on top of the filter bar.
New: Whitelist and blacklist rules are now distinguishable in the simplified rule list. They have a black dot in the center of their bubble.
Changed: Simplified rules are now enforced for new installs and cannot be disabled. Regular expression rules can still be created in simple mode from the rule list by starting the rule with a "^".
Changed: The actions bar in the main window is now statically positioned at the top.
Changed: Code optimizations.
Changed: Removed incomplete Twilight theme.
Changed: Disabling JS Blocker will now disable every aspect of it rather than just the resource blockers.
Changed: Block/Allow/Hide All can now be for All Domains.
Fix: Resolves an issue where changing just one portion of a combined simplified rule would change the entire thing.
Fix: Lots of fixes regarding automatic rules and expert features.
Fix: A warning has been added to let users know that JS Blocker cannot function when its toolbar icon is hidden.
2.8.0
New for Donators: A full backup including all settings and rules can now be created and imported. This backup method can be accessed via the Settings page in the About section. Note that it is not compatible with the rule backup that can be created from the popover.
New: A new UI has been added that makes managing rules even easier. In the rule list, rules will appear in plain English without complex regular expressions. This UI is the default for new installations, but because it requires a new rule set, existing installations will not be upgraded automatically. You must manually update them by clicking Convert Rules. This can also be done from the settings page. To turn on the new rule display, open the settings page and check Use simplified rules under the User Interface tab. The setting will be visible only if expert features are disabled.
New: Custom alert boxes can now be scrolled off the screen just like in Mountain Lion.New: Whitelist and blacklist rules can be hidden from the rule list making browsing through custom rules even easier.
2.7.1
New: When editing or adding a rule from the rule list, the domain in which the rule is for can be changed.
Fix: Resolves an issue where an unblocked script would show up in the same section 3 times.
Changed: Added proper overflow detection for poppies when arrow is pointing upwards. The height will now auto adjust to fit properly rather than using a max-height.Changed: Redesigned custom alert dialogs.
2.7.0
New: Added ability to select multiple items with checkboxes to quickly allow or block a few items on a webpage. It can be accessed using the "Block/Allow or Hide" button and selecting "Some".
New: Added ability to hide items in the main window. In the expert interface, there will be a new radio labeled "Hide". In the simple interface, the "Allow:/Block:" label is now a select box containing a "Hide" option.
New: Added a UI to distinguish between unblockable frames and blockable ones. Unblockable frames will appear italicized and clicking on the host/URL will notify the user that it cannot be blocked and how to go about blocking it another way.
Fix: Resolves an issue where the custom font feature would not work.
Fix: Resolves an issue where the global page was still using the Google hosted jQuery.
Fix: Resolves an issue where all <select> elements were disabled on Windows instead of just the page selector.
