HTTP Switchboard 1.0.1.1

HTTP Switchboard 1.0.1.0

HTTP Switchboard 1.0.0.4

Closed as fixed:
- Own block rules lost after update to v. 1.0.0.3
  * Race condition could result in lost of data when v1.0.0.3 was launched first time
  * Conditions for the bug to occur:
  * You had to have custom rules in both "Your block rules" and "Your allow rules" fields
  * HTTPSB detected a version change to v 1.0.0.3
  * The only way to recover lost data (likelihood is data in "Your block rules" will be lost) is to restore from a backup.

HTTP Switchboard 1.0.0.3

Closed as fixed:
- "Replace FileSystem API with chrome.storage.local"
  * Relying on FileSystem API to cache remote assets causes Chrome 37 and above to emit this warning: "This extension may have been corrupted by malware" (see Chromium issue #389879)
  * As a consequence the extension was disabled, with no way to dismiss the false positive.
  * The fix is to no longer rely on FileSystem API, but rather on chrome.storage.local, which is all fine so long as the unlimitedStorage permission is set.

Also, by the way: The road ahead

It is suggested you start "converting" yourself to the future (HTTPSB is currently quite behind with regard to improvements made to pattern-based filtering engine used by µBlock:

Install µBlock
In the "Ubiquitous rules" tab of HTTP Switchboard, uncheck:
- "Parse and enforce Adblock+ complex filters"
- "Parse and enforce Adblock+ element hiding filters"
- Any ABP-compatible filter list, that is, all lists from Spam404 and others following.
In short, let µBlock do the pattern-based filtering.
- For hosts file-like lists, there is no harm in having both selected in µBlock and HTTPSB, you shouldn't worry about these, as hostname-based filtering is very well optimized in both µBlock and HTTPSB.
