Greasemonkey "0.8.2" Released

The latest version of Greasemonkey, "0.8.2" (full version: 0.8.20090920.2) has been uploaded to AMO. It includes the following changes:
  • Do not inject scripts into file: and about: URLs by default, for security reasons. (#1000)
  • The GM_openInTab() function respects the background loading tab behavior from Firefox preferences. (#1003)
  • Specify label/control associations in "New Script" dialog, for accessibility. (#1010)
  • Minor code clean ups and improvements. (#1011, #1020)
  • Remove "forced" upgrade code. (#1013)
  • Remove extra spacing around the status bar icon. (#1014)
  • When adding include/exclude rules, include the port number in the default suggestion. (#1015)
  • Reduce noise logged to the console when interacting with Firebug. (#1018)
  • Apply security checks to GM_listValues() and GM_deleteValue(). (#1019)
  • Fix missing localized strings in various locales. (#1022)
  • Grease pages loaded into the sidebar. (#1023)
  • Allow user scripts to access the latest available JavaScript engine. (#1026)
This is the same file posted as RC2 about a week ago to the -users mailing list. As the version number (and the release notes) indicate, this is a maintenance release, fixing bugs and adding minor features to the previous release.

    I'm getting some errors in the Error Console. Grease Monkey still seems to work perfectly.

    Fout: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Illegal value" nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Documents and Settings/***/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/***/extensions/{e4a8a97b-f2ed-450b-b12d-ee082ba24781}/components/greasemonkey.js :: anonymous :: line 122" data: no]

    javadoc incremental search has stopped working with this update. It is the only reason I use greasemonkey. Is there a way to downgrade?

    Is there a way to force GM_openInTab to open in a background tab, or am I stuck with the Firefox default setting now?

    This version caused Mafia Wars Autoplayer to stop working. When trying to install a clean copy, it just opens the script in a firefox window. Have tried reinstalling each item (script, greasemonkey) in various orders...

    for the file:// scripts, you have to change a setting in about:config - look for
    greasemonkey.fileIsGreaseable -> true

    i've had a ui glitch in greasemonkey for a long time - with a list of scripts so long that it requires a scroll bar in the script manager

    but when i scroll down, it always flicks itself back to the top. there is no way to scroll down and see the other installed scripts (i have larger fonts set in windows xp).

    the listbox glitch is a bug in mozilla's xul engine - insert rant here - the bug also appears when you resize the dialog

    the only fix i could find was removing the description box which was confusing the xul engine.

    GM_openInTab now obeys firefox's user preference.
    then how can I force it to load in a background tab without asking the user to change his/her preference?

    for some odd reason addons.mozilla.org just doesn't load on my computer while all other sites open normally.

    Can you please post an alternate DL link for greasemonkey.xpi so that I can install it manually....

    thanks

    The GM_openInTab() function respects the background loading tab behavior from Firefox preferences. (#1003)

    This stopped working for me. Using an extension called "Outwar helper" to open certain links on pages in tabs, After updating GM only opens ONE link in a tab regardless of how many links are on the page needing to open. Using firefox 2.0.0.20

    Will be reverting to previous version of GM until fixed.

    I couldn't find other way to write you, so I'm doing it here...
    I noticed that a descritpion of your addon on addon.mozilla.org isn't translated to Polish (pl). Here's a translation:

    - Add-on Summary:
    Pozwala na zmienianie sposobu wyświetlania stron internetowych dzięki małym JavaScriptom.

    For an addon that is popular is needs to be updated more frequently. Take a look at stylish development.

    "Do not inject scripts into file: and about: URLs by default, for security reasons. (#1000)"

    That's very bad. I used Greasemonkey to save data I create in local HTMLs. Fortunately an old version of GM runs on my other PC. I'm going to copy this old version...

    Terrible update!
