[Release notes salvaged from https://github.com/uBlock-LLC/uBlock/releases/tag/0.5.5.0]

Closed as fixed:

• Exception in onBeforeRequest on sodaplay.com/creators/soda/items/constructor
  • This bug could in rare instances prevent net request filters from being blocked (or allowed in case of net request exception filters) for some net request URLs.
• Element picker overlay not covering the whole document for some web pages
• "Your Filters" should take precedence over 3rd-party filters
  • New filter option: important, which means exception filters will be ignored
  • The important option applies only to block filters
  • Example: ||google-analytics.com^$important = block Google Analytics, ignore all exceptions that could cancel this rule
  • The important option does not apply to exception filters, this ensures that nothing can override an important block rules: this guarantees that no external filter lists will have the ability to override your custom block rules marked as important.
