Greasemonkey 1.8 Release

The entire list of bugs handled in this release is also available via the 1.8 milestone on GitHub. Note that as always it takes some time for Mozilla to review the new version.  If you're interested in staying on the bleeding edge, try installing the development channel beta release.

If you are using it and notice problems, it's best to log an issue or let us know at greasemonkey-dev (and be clear that it's with this version).

Enhancements:

• Added shortcuts to the various Greasemonkey web sites in the monkey menu. (#1704)
• The redirectionLimit option has been added to GM_xmlhttpRequest(). (#1690)
• By default the script editor is now Scratchpad, which is built into Firefox.  This can be configured in the Greasemonkey Options dialog. (#1688)

Bug fixes:

• Scripts work at about:blank again. (#1696)
• Drag-and-drop into the Add-ons Manager works now. (#1663)
