Version 0.3.0
Released Aug 11, 2020 - 5.61 MBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later## [0.3.0] - 2020-08-11
### Added
- minor: Emit new events: ApparentlySuccessfulPasswordChange,
FailedPasswordChange, and FailedLogin.
- minor: The extension automatically uninstalls itself when the study ends.
- minor: Notifications remain displayed until the user clicks a button.
- minor: All events now include the field: browserName.
### Changed
- minor: Renamed Login event to ApparentlySuccessfulLogin and added new fields:
domainId, numUserAccountsOnDomain, collectionMethod, and tabId.
- minor: Moved computationally expensive cryptography to worker threads, which
allows the extension to remain responsive to notification button clicks
and form submissions while calculations are taking place.
- patch: Improve the reliability of detecting successful login attempts.
## Fixed
- patch: Fixed a bug that was preventing the extension from working in chromium
based browsers. Previously, the extension only checked for a Firefox
specific field (.originUrl), but now also checks for a semantically
identical field supported in chromium based browsers (.initiator).
- patch: Fixed a bug that caused notifications to be incorrectly identified as
password change pages.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
Version 0.2.0
Released Jul 24, 2020 - 4.2 MBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later## [0.2.0] - 2020-07-23
### Changed
- minor: Changed the extension to run persistently in the browser, which means
it will use slightly more memory than it did previously.
### Added
- minor: Extension updated to support chromium based browsers. Tested on Chrome
and Edge.
- minor: Updated several events to include a field called `userAccountId`,
which uniquely identifies one of the user's accounts. This information
is required to allow the researchers to correctly analyze the user's
interaction with the extension. The value of this field is calculated
in a privacy preserving way and does not reveal the account username
nor the domain to the researchers.
- minor: The extension now attempts to determine whether a form submission was
completed successfully or rejected by the server, which allows it to
limit notifications to successful logins and avoid notifications for
password typos.
### Fixed
- patch: Fixed the "Ignore" button in the notification. When the user clicks
"Ignore", notifications will no longer be shown for the current
username on the current domain.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
