Important

Version 1.38.7b13 contained a serious regression, causing links on some sites to no longer be clickable. If you are currently using version 1.38.7b13, upgrade immediately to 1.38.7b15.

New

A new Support pane has been added to the dashboard, to make it easy for users to share technical information about their current uBO's configuration, and consequently make it easier for volunteers to diagnose reported issues.
