  • Version 1.4.2

    Released Feb 17, 2021 - 68.17 KB
    Works with firefox 48.0 and later
    v1.4.2

    New: If the panel fails to load, shows a Restart Winger button as a simple fix.
    New: Placeholder tabs for unstashing privileged urls now also used for sending/bringing privileged urls into/out of private windows. (Previously such urls are not reopened at all.)
    Fixed: Auto-resolve any name conflicts at window creation for reopening and unstashing of windows.
    Fixed: Text selection by keyboard (e.g. Ctrl+A, Shift+arrow) of slash commands within the panel omnibox now works properly.

    Stash related:
    Improved: Stashing performance. Name conflict checking dropped; stashed window closes immediately, while bookmarks are saved in the background.
    Improved: Unstashing performance. Stash-folder restriction and checking dropped; bookmark deletion decoupled from tab creation and performed in the background.
    Improved: Stashing a window removes it from the Recently Closed Windows list, to avoid polluting the list with stashed windows.
