[Release notes salvaged from https://github.com/uBlock-LLC/uBlock/releases/tag/0.8.2.4]
Will release to the stores later today when I am confident there is no regression.
Closed as fixed:
- Github Issue
- 563 cosmetic filters in EasyList and 194 cosmetic filters in "Fanboy's Social Blocking List" were potentially affected by this bug: some DOM elements could unduly disappear from a page
- It appears that the filters found in "Fanboy's Social Blocking List" were the ones most likely to be affected by the bug (see #456)
- Cosmetic filter cache: convert watermark-based pruning trigger to time-based pruning trigger
- Concretely, this will make uBlock use memory in a more savvy way with regard to cosmetic filtering cache. It's a code area I had not revisited since the first commit.
Other changes:
- Improved performance of MD5 hash function
- JsPerf: MD5 Shootout
- The MD5 hash function is used when pulling resource from Github repo, to ensure integrity; and for local mirroring, to ensure mirror-able resources are cached only once.
