Markdown Here Versions Save

• Fixed [bug #524] and [bug #526]: Due to v2.13.3 fix, Markdown Here didn't work in Thunderbird with a non-English UI.
  • Thanks to KSR-Yasuda, ensleep, Pedro Silva, Christophe Meyer, littdky, Michael Lashkevich, morsedl.

• Fixed bug #495: Markdown Here stopped working in Thunderbird version 60 (due to changes in Thunderbird).

  • Thanks to dugite-code for the PR to fix it. Also thanks to: Marc-Alexandre Espiaut, Tehmul Ghyara, Pedro Silva, PackElend, qolii, Francisco Pina-Martins, evazquez00.

• Fixed bug #435: On some pages, Markdown Here would spew cross-origin exceptions to the console. This was due to MDH trying to determine if a focused iframe-within-an-iframe was renderable.

  • Thanks to lincoln-b for reporting it.

• Fixed bug #427: In Chrome and Firefox (at least for some pages), after rendering the resulting text was selected.

  • Thanks to nedchu for reporting it.

• Converted the Firefox version of Markdown Here to use the WebExtensions API. This makes MDH compatible with Firefox's new multiprocess architecture (aka Electrolysis). If you have an older version of MDH installed in Firefox, there will soon be a new release of that version which prompts you to install the new WebExtensions version.

  • The upgrade for existing Firefox users is a little rocky because the XUL version needs to continue to exist for Thunderbird (and Postbox) users. So the WebExtensions version has to fork.
  • The Firefox and Chrome code bases are now almost identical, so that's good.

• Fixed bug# 369: Clicking Markdown Here's "Options" button in Firefox and Thunderbird (version 48+) causes the client application to hang. (Note that this only applies to the XUL version of the extension.)

  • Thanks to Sam Estep, r2evans, happyconfident, Juan Salvador Aleixandre, haililihai, Shi Liang, jjroper, Linxzh.

• Updated jQuery to 3.2.1. This was required to pass Mozilla review.

• New logo! Created by Austin Anderson and chosen by the Markdown Here users, our great new logo is finally ready for action.
  • Much thanks to Austin for his work polishing and tweaking the 60 variants of the logo. He did a lot of work getting things just right.
  • Thanks to everyone else who submitted a design: Rafe Goldberg, Jack Reis, Enrique Esquinas, Leon Wilmanns. All of their designs were great and I would have been happy for any of them to win.
  • Seriously, if you haven't seen the other designs, go check them out. And then check out their portfolios, bookmark them, and contact them the next time you need design work done.
  • Thanks to all of you who took the time to vote for the new logo.
  • If you are unhappy with the change to a monochrome browser toolbar and context menu button, +1 this issue.
• Fixed bug #297: Unrendering an email that is a reply to an email that was itself rendered with MDH would fail (if the original email were visible, like with Thunderbird or when it's expanded in Gmail).
  • Thanks to Dave Tapley for creating a great video that illustrated the problem and how to reproduce it.
  • Repeatedly triggering this bug could also lead to the next bug...
• Fixed bug #289: With forgot-to-render detection enabled, sending a large email could result in MDH causing the mail client to hang.
  • Thanks to r2evans, Dave Tapley, and Eugene Fryntov for reporting and helping to diagnose the problem. Also thanks to georg on StackOverflow for helping me to understand and improve the offending regex.
• Fixed bug #283: Forgot-to-render detection was broken for Google Inbox. Thanks to Marvin R..
  • If you find that the forgot-to-render detection gets broken for the Gmail or Google Inbox web interfaces, please post to the "markdown-here" Google Group or create an issue in the Github project. The MDH code that hooks into the webmail UI is brittle and might break when Google changes stuff.
• Fixed bug #288: Some character combinations involving a dollar sign in inline code would render incorrectly.
  • Thanks to rfulkerson for reporting the problem.
• Updated and new translations:
  • French: BenWayne182
  • Spanish: Darío Hereñú
  • Portuguese (Brazilian): Erich Gubler

• Fixed bug #278: In the previous release, the setTimeout workaround to fix slow Chrome Beta caused Firefox to stop working. For some people. Sometimes. (But not in the unit tests. Ha.)
  • Thanks to georgejean, Nathan Wittstock, fugo, Dheeraj Bhaskar, and robred.

• Fixed bug #251: Improved HTML-to-plaintext processing, in order to make newline handling better. Fixes some cases where tables get messed up. Thanks to hchaase.
• Fixed bug #241: Rendering was very slow on Chrome Beta and Canary. Thanks to Alex Vaystikh.
• Fixed Pale Moon compatibility. Thanks to Ismani Nieuweboer.
• Partially fixed bug #104: Pre-rendered links (especially auto-links) in code were getting converted to Markdown when rendering (so you end up with raw Markdown in your code). This is now fixed for backtick-style code (inline and block), but not for indented code blocks.
• Updated translations:
  • German: Boris Lewandowski
  • Spanish: J. Ignacio Reta Sabarrós
  • Italian: Alessandro Tondo

No user-facing code changes. Modifications to pass Mozilla review. (Added a preprocessor to strip out cross-browser code.)

No change. Version bump. Trying to get past Mozilla review.

• Fixed bug #243: Due to the way paragraphs were styled, there appeared to be a "blank line" inserted at the top when your Markdown-Here-rendered your content. The styling was changed to correct this.
  • Note: In order to get this styling change, you will need to reset your Primary Styling CSS.
  • Thanks to James F McMahon for reporting the issue.
• Changed styling of sub-ordered-lists to match Github's: Top level is still numbers, first sub level is Roman letters, second sub level is Roman numerals. Will make your email lists look totally pro.
  • Note: In order to get this styling change, you will need to reset your Primary Styling CSS.
  • Thanks to Andrew Greenberg for pointing out Github's styling, and an unnamed user in a Google Groups post who also asked about list styling.
• Fixed bug #237: Made Mozilla preferences handling more robust. Helps to deal with non-ANSI characters, synchronization, and corruption.
  • Thanks to flying-sheep for reporting the corruption problem and helping to diagnose it.
• Added and updated translations:
  • Italian: Andrea Lazzarotto
  • German: Boris Lewandowski
  • French: H. Salah Eddine
  • Turkish: Yahya Erturan

• Fixed bug #233: Reference links were broken if the URL part was pre-formatted.
  • Big thanks to Meng Wang for finding this bug, fixing it, adding tests, and submitting a pull request.
• Added forgot-to-render check support for "Inbox by Google".
• Updated translations:
  • Chinese Simplified: Liu Cheng and sherkiv.
  • Chinese Traditional: BestSteve.
  • Russian: Asber.
