EV Cert Support
It’s been quite around here, hasn’t it? That’s mainly because I’m going to be graduating from High School in a couple of weeks so I’ve been doing that.
I have gotten some work in on 3.2.5, not a lot though, but enough to make this version pretty good. The following is a mix of a drafted post and my updated additions.
Here’s what’s currently in 3.2.5:
- Improved AutoComplete: Theoretically shouldn’t bother you as much, but due to limitations of Thunderbird 2, it still might. UPDATE: We now use the built-in AutoComplete system for both engine variations (XPFE [Thunderbird 2] and Toolkit [Thunderbird 3]). This makes AutoComplete completely unobtrusive.
- Support for EV certs: Thunderbird 3 will show EV cert pages as safe now (see above image). Thunderbird 2 should either do nothing (no color) or just show regularly safe (gold color)
- Bookmarks click bug fix: This is a rather odd bug in TB3 where bookmarks require two clicks to load. This has been fixed.
- Firefox functions ported: Specifically, openUILinkIn. A few existing functions have received enhancements to be more like Firefox.
- New settings: enabling/disabling of meta redirects (you can now turn this off), filling the autocomplete bar only, and turning on cookies (ThunderBrowse will NOT manage cookies for you. You will have to do this yourself)
- Reorganization and cleanup: Object wrapped all public files except for tbmain (seriously, wrapping that to look nice and neat is a nightmare [though I did clean up a lot of it today])
That’s pretty much what has been done so far. One feature I do want to tackle sometime in the future is the addition of customizing more hotkeys within the extension. That would be cool.
Stay tuned!
