    Version 0.6.0

    Released Jan 18, 2025 - 107.46 KB
    Works with firefox 121.0 and later
    0.6.0 "Manifest V3, Types, and Tests"

    0.6.0 is a "huge" release with Manifest V3 support and a rewrite to
    TypeScript as its headline features.

    This release has been manually tested on Chromium and Firefox.

    Note that this version requires a minimum Chromium and Firefox version
    of 121. This is the earliest version where both browsers will
    (begrudgingly) ignore excess fields in the manifest.json file. This was
    the blocker for Manifest V3 as this permits the neccessary fields to
    keep the manifest.json as one file across browsers.

    After a patch version to patch a bad version, I've decided to spend an
    entire day migrating the code to something more sustainable --
    Typescript and with decent testing capabilities. There's also more
    logging in the console to further debug issues. Substaintial test
    coverage is not part of this release, but I think we're in a good spot
    to cut a release.

    Importantly, TypeScript source files require significant revamp to how
    the codebase is organized. Because there is now a transpilation stage,
    the overall complexity of the codebase has increased, even if there is
    no significant new features. While I mourn the loss of simplicity (you
    could previously just point Firefox to the repo and it would work!),
    having a proper testing framework is absolutely worth it.

    Due to some workarounds needed for Chrome, I expect Chrome to
    potentially have more bugs than Firefox. This is because we need to
    create a hidden document, send a message to that document from the
    service worker, and have that document recieve the message to then write
    it to a DOM and use a deprecated way to copy text into the clipboard.
    Yes, this is obtuse. Yes, this is also the way the Chrome blog
    recommends doing this until they support what Firefox already does.

    You'll notice that the permissions have changed as well! We no longer
    require the tabs permission, just activeTab instead. This restricts the
    extension so that it gets access to your tab data only when you press the
    button. Hurray for privacy!
