Version 0.6.3.1
Released 14 Apr 2025 - 982.56 KBWorks with firefox 110.0 and laterThis maintenance release includes internal improvements and dependency updates to ensure system stability and performance. No user-facing changes are included in this update.Source code released under Apache-2.0 License
Version 0.6.3.0
Released 31 Mac 2025 - 979.7 KBWorks with firefox 110.0 and later🔧 Improvements- With the beta release announcement, we’ve updated links to latest Web Monetization docs website (#989).
- More accurately detect situations where your wallet linked to the extension cannot facilitate payments to a website's wallet. Specifically, 500 Internal Server Errors encountered during payment setup are now treated equivalently to unpeered wallet scenarios (#995).
🐛 Bug Fixes- Resolved a performance regression introduced in a previous release, which resulted in a noticeable delay in popup UI loading. The extension should feel snappier again. (#996).

Version 0.6.2.0
Released 17 Mac 2025 - 981.29 KBWorks with firefox 110.0 and later🔧 Improvements- Continuing our efforts to improve the wallet connection process, we added a timeout to all the process parts, so you’re never indefinitely stuck connecting if something goes wrong (#958).
- We reduced the size of our frontend JavaScript files (e.g., in the popup) by over 130KB as we removed/replaced some dependencies. The extension should now feel a bit more responsive and consume even less memory (#961, #963).
🐛 Bug Fixes- The extension displayed a slightly incorrect message about browser internal pages when you opened a new Firefox window. We now correctly treat an empty new window as an empty new tab (#967).

Version 0.6.0.0
Released 3 Mac 2025 - 1,017.55 KBWorks with firefox 110.0 and laterThis release includes some bug fixes and lots of improvements to make your experience with the extension better.
🔧 Improvements- When you install the extension for the first time, we’ve improved the onboarding screen to help you get started better. We now display currently supported wallets, and provide you more context (#935).
- When connecting to the Interledger Wallet, we now show that we’re connecting immediately, instead of waiting for 2 seconds (#933).
- During the wallet connection process, when we’re automatically adding the extension’s public key to your wallet, we now show each step for at least 2 seconds, for you to clearly see what’s happening (#934).
- Also, if you open some other website in the tab where we’re connecting, we now show you an error message so you can start connecting again (#943).
- Continuing with the wallet connection process, if you switch to some other tab, and then click the extension icon in the browser toolbar, we’ll highlight the tab where the connection process is taking place. All this should help you manage your tabs better, and not lose track of the connection process (#945).
- If that is not enough, we now also show the current step of the connection process in the extension popup. This should be more helpful than us showing just a spinner (#944).
🐛 Bug Fixes- Going back and forth between pages in a tab? Earlier, doing so marked a monetized website as non-monetized. No longer the case (#927).
- When your computer wakes up from a long sleep, monetized websites used to get marked as non-monetized (and payments stopped too). Now you should see the correct status and payments will resume on wake-up (#927).
- You can now safely press Enter to submit the connect wallet form (#940).

Version 0.5.1.0
Released 17 Feb 2025 - 847 KBWorks with firefox 110.0 and laterThis release includes several important bug fixes.- We fixed a bug when a monetized website contained an iframe, and that iframe had an internal navigation, the whole site was incorrectly marked as monetized. Similarly, clicking a hash link on a monetized website incorrectly marked the website as non-monetized. We now correctly handle navigations in a tab, including reloads (#893).
- We addressed a race condition in which, sometimes, if you were too quick to switch from the just-opened tab, payments in that tab failed until you refreshed it (#910)
- There was a bug in how we suggested your default hourly pay rate when your wallet was in certain currencies. It didn't affect any payments you made, but only affected what your default hourly pay rate was, along with minimum/maximum limits (#919).
- We refined the message you see for a website that your wallet cannot pay to (#913).
We've continued our efforts towards automated end-to-end tests to make extension more reliable.

Version 0.5.0.1
Released 3 Feb 2025 - 846.26 KBWorks with firefox 110.0 and laterThis release brings a mix of bug fixes and UX improvements to enhance your experience.
- Extension popup will no longer get in your way when you're connecting your wallet (#807).
- Sometimes if you ran into issues when connecting your wallet, error hints weren't shown correctly (#837).
- Automatic key addition is now more intelligent and only activates on the specific tab it created so other tabs with your wallet don't show connect process (#849).
- Some changes in Interledger Cards broke automatic key addition when using $ilp.dev payment pointers. This has been addressed (#878).
- Payment sessions are now more streamlined and no longer wait unnecessarily for previous payments to complete (#858).
- Your budget settings will no longer incorrectly display renewal messages for one-time budgets. Sorry for the confusion (#883).
- We've improved the detection of monetization link tags, making it more reliable (#882).
- The one-time payment message in the popup is now cleaner, without the amount included (#886).
- We've enhanced the post-install flow to make the connect process smoother (#872).
We've also made huge efforts in automating end-to-end testing of the extension. You can track our progress in #610.
