Version 1.1.5
Released Jan 9, 2024 - 67.43 KBWorks with firefox 110.0 and laterv1.1.5
* minor code changes.
v1.1.4
* tried tweaking some of the parameters in the 'versioncheck...' url that the browser uses to check for updates, but could not get consistency among multiple browser instances across multiple computers and operating systems when using this url. in some browsers the extension would show an update was available immediately, while others it wouldn't even after 1/2 hour or more had passed. the option will be available to use this url, since it uses less network traffic when checking for updates, but with a warning that is not as reliable.
v1.1, v1.1.1, v1.1.2, v1.1.3
* updated version for testing purposes. the version may be bumped a few times on 1/7/2024 to test the 'versioncheck.addons.mozilla.org' URL (with modified parameters) on this extension right after an update to find out how quickly it shows an available update.
v1.0.9
* added an option for the amount of results (versions) in a page to fetch at one time for an extension. this extension searches through the version information to find the latest extension version that is compatible with the current browser version. the default for this option is 25, but it should be set to around 1-5 for a user with an up-to-date browser version, so there will probably be less network traffic.
* moved the "https://versioncheck.addons.mozilla.org/*" permission to optional permissions for testing purposes.
v1.0.8
* reverted back to using the previous url for update checks. Right after an extension was updated on 'addons.mozilla.org', the 'versioncheck.addons.mozilla.org' url wasn't always immediately showing an update was available. On my dev & nightly versions of firefox, the update was showing as available, but on my release versions it wasn't after an update check.
v1.0.7
* bumping version number for testing purposes.
v1.0.6
* minor code improvement.
v1.0.5
* added a drop-down list in options page that shows available updates with their installed version and latest version.
* no longer show available updates for an extension if it has a min or max version that is not compatible with the browser version in use (an option is available to override this).
* switched URL used to checks for updates to 'https://versioncheck.addons.mozilla.org/' and added a non optional host permission for it.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
