Greasemonkey Version 0.8

At long last, the new version of Greasemonkey is available. Get Greasemonkey 0.8.0 from addons.mozilla.org.

The most important change for this release is full compatibility with Firefox 3.0. There is also a new feature that allows modularization of user scripts that comes in four pieces: @resource, @require, GM_getResourceURL, and GM_getResourceText. Follow those links to learn how they work. Also:

• GM_xmlhttpRequest now includes the finalUrl property.
• Internal code quality improvements
• New attractive graphics by Pak-Kei Mak

Finally, there is a set of reported issues that are yet to be resolved. Version 0.8.1 is planned, but we feel 0.8.0 is a strong enough improvement to be worth releasing, for Firefox 3.0 compatibility. Enjoy!

Greasemonkey Security Update

I've just posted an update to Greasemonkey that fixes a recent publicly disclosed security issue. Please upgrade to the latest version as soon as possible.

Note that this update might affect compatibility for a small number of scripts. Script authors should see the Greasemonkey wiki for details and workarounds.

I have also enabled support for Firefox 3 Beta in this build for those who have been asking about that.

Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience. For help or questions about Greasemonkey, join the greasemonkey-users mailing list.

To report security issues, please mail the details to greasemonkey-admins@googlegroups.com.
