Greasemonkey 3.1 Release

The entire list of bugs handled in this release is also available via the 3.1 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 this version 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).

This release targets primarily new bugs introduced in version 3.0.

Fixed bugs:

• Fix @noframes feature. (#2110)
• Fix injecting scripts into about:blank. (#2108)
• Display localized script name/description correctly. (#2102)
• Correct GM_openInTab() to only open one tab. (#2094)
• Repair default script editor. (#2073)

Greasemonkey 3.0 Release

Mozilla is planning to add multi process support to Firefox.  Bill McCloskey has a detailed article explaining why.  In short: security, performance, stability.  It just so happens that the underlying Firefox changes drastically affect the inner workings of Greasemonkey.

The Greasemonkey developers have been working hard to rewrite significant portions of the extension.  There are no new features, but the internals have changed quite a lot.  As a result this release is bumping the major version number, to 3.0.

Ideally, you don't notice anything.  Once multi process Firefox is enabled by default, everything should continue to work as normal.  But this is a "point oh" release.  Perhaps we've missed something?  Please let us know if you have any problems!

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.
