Version 3.6.0
Released Jun 25, 2020 - 198.42 KBWorks with firefox 42.0 and later* Make Vectorizer concurrency customizable.
* Remove Retry checkbox from Vectorizer. We automatically do the right thing now.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.5.0
Released Jun 1, 2020 - 195.42 KBWorks with firefox 42.0 and laterRecord prematurely pruned elements. This bumps the vector version number to 2, which means previous versions of the commandline tools will not understand these new vector files.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.4.1
Released May 15, 2020 - 195.42 KBWorks with firefox 42.0 and later* Have the Evaluator skip over `about:` tabs that used to crash it with permission problems.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.4
Released May 1, 2020 - 195.34 KBWorks with firefox 42.0 and later* When the Retry checkbox is checked in the Vectorizer, it now retries only errors it thinks are transient. This means you don’t have to wait 200 seconds for your syntax errors to bubble to the fore if you forget to uncheck Retry.
* Make vectorType optional if it’s the same as the trainee ID.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.3
Released Feb 25, 2020 - 252.1 KBWorks with firefox 42.0 and later- The Vectorizer now operates in parallel, resulting in large speed gains.
- Merge fathom-trainees info FathomFox. This makes fewer repos to clone, fewer addons to install, and fewer build processes to babysit for ruleset authors. It also means a simpler FathomFox with less message passing.
- The Vectorizer now shows an error message when a scoring callback returns undefined. This helps catch certain common mistakes:
- A name mismatch between the
name
value passed into a rule and the name of the rule in the list of[ruleName, coefficient]
pairs referenced in the ruleset - A scoring callback failing to return a number
- Corner cases in DOM or CSSOM routines, e.g.
innerText
returningnull
instead of the empty string in Firefox
- A name mismatch between the
- Add
isTarget
hook to trainees to customize what the Vectorizer considers a target. - Automatically add a slash to the end of the Vectorizer base URL if there isn't one.

Version 3.2
Released Aug 16, 2019 - 150.81 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later* Freezing pages now takes only 1/7 as long, thanks to an upgrade to the freeze-dry library.
* There's now a keyboard shortcut for freezing the current page: command-shift-O. This lets you capture hover states.
* The original URL of each frozen page is now preserved in an HTML attribute.
* Rather than always defaulting to 1024x768 for the Viewport Size in the Vectorizer, pull the default from the `viewportSize` of the selected trainee.
* Remove obsolete Trainer, pieces of which now remain solely as an Evaluator, for debugging rulesets.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.1
Released May 24, 2019 - 91.68 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later* Add an Evaluate button to the Trainer, useful for ruleset debugging.
* Add a Base URL field to the Vectorizer, which saves a lot of find-and-replacing on page filenames.
* Add a Retry On Error checkbox to the Vectorizer so retrying can be disabled during ruleset debugging.
* Document Vectorizer.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 3.0
Released Mar 26, 2019 - 86.57 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later* Switch to Fathom 3. This requires a fathom-trainees fork based on tag 3.0 or
later. Equivalently, you can make these changes:
* Switch to specifying coefficients as a Map instead of an Array. If you
don't want to name your rules, Fathom will auto-name them `_0`, `_1`, etc.,
in order of appearance in the ruleset.
* The `rulesetMaker` function no longer takes any params. In Fathom 3, all
weighting is done internal to the framework.
* All rules should return a value between 0 and 1, representing a confidence.
* Add the Vectorizer tool, which exports feature vectors for optimization with
Fathom 3's external tool.
* Fix additional causes of duplicate downloads when using the Corpus Collector
on recent versions of Firefox. I think they're really all gone now.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 2.3.1
Released Feb 12, 2019 - 82.62 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and laterFix Corpus Collector spewing extra bullet points, closing the wrong tabs, downloading duplicates, and generally misbehaving in recent Firefox versions (e.g. 65).Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 2.3
Released Nov 15, 2018 - 82.16 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later* Clicking a good/bad cell now takes you to that sample's tab and, in the case of a bad cell, indicates which element was wrongly selected, which is invaluable for debugging. Identifying the element requires a fathom-trainees fork that pulls in Fathom 2.8. If you have a custom success function, you must also add a third param to it and scribble a ``badElement`` property on the received object.
* Add a Pause button to the Trainer. This is useful while on battery power or to take the load off Firefox's JS thread so the dev tools can run quickly.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 2.2
Released Nov 6, 2018 - 81.43 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later* Make viewport size customizable during capture.
* Bump default freeze delay from 0 to 1. This avoids many dead-object errors during bulk capture.
* Limit length of tags in devtools panel so they don't make it unusably wide.
* Focus the new label field after inspecting an element and switching to the Fathom devtools panel. This makes for faster entry.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0

Version 2.0
Released Oct 5, 2018 - 80.75 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later* Support customizable viewport sizes.
* Stop using `traineeCoeffs` message in favor of `trainee`, which is more future-proof. This requires a fathom-trainees fork based on d93bc593a08f6503d137df4d35ce2a2bc6b93b6e or later. Please merge in from fathom-trainees' latest master.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 1.3
Released Sep 25, 2018 - 80.72 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later* Re-saving frozen pages should now be idempotent most of the time.
* Solve some causes of Corpus Collector freezing.
* Add progress reporting during freezing.
* Use the hostname as a download filename in the absence of a user-provided one.
* Use standard Photon menus for the toolbar button (since the stylesheets have now been documented).Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
