Greasemonkey 0.7 Candidate

Hello all,

Since there were some pretty major problems with the last release that caused significant grief, I've rethought how releases will work. Going forward, we will:

  • Do candidate releases to greasemonkey-dev and greasemonkey-users. Before, we just sent candidates to greasemonkey-dev. If you are interested in cutting edge builds and don't mind getting a little messy in the process, subscribe to one of these lists. This will get more eyes on finding regressions early.

  • Once the candidate is vetted on the mailing lists, we will do a candidate release on this blog.

  • Only once the candidate is vetted on the mailing lists and the blog will we do an autoudpate.
This release is the first to follow the new process. Please add a comment to this post with any bugs you find. If there are serious regressions I will do a new release here before autoupdating.

There are no new features other than bug fixes for the previous release. In particular:
  • Fixed the bug where you can't install scripts if you have never disabled Greasemonkey.
  • Fixed the bug where drag and drop in the manage dialog only works once per view.
  • Fixed the bug where removing a script in the manage dialog also removes the last script.
As always, you can see all recent changes to Greasemonkey on the dev website.

Thanks for your patience!

thank you for fixing the manage dialog removing script error, it was such a pain, but its fixed now, thank you.

The link on the right that says "Download Greasemonkey" still downloads the .069 version.

I discovered this when I accidentally deleted a script, tried to reinstall it and kept getting an error message that it was already installed. So, I uninstalled Greasemonkey and, when I went to reinstall it, I saw that the 0.7 candidate was available.

I've downloaded that, reinstalled the script and, so far, all seems to be well.

Thanks!

Hi,
it's not entirely clear to me - it was 0.6.9 that had problems, yes?
If so, what's the most recent stable release?
Or to word it differently, the most stable, recent release?
0.6.8?

Noel said...

I had the same problem as jurismorte16 above.

0.7 seems to have cured it.

My little Greasemonkey bar normally at the bottom of my screen no longer appears??

It also had my CoComments Button??

Thanks!

I am not able to subscribe to the rss feeds of your blog. Is there a problem with your feeds?

Kathy said...

As a new user, and being better than my mom at computers, but much worse than anyone who can actually write code (I'll just be downloading codes other people wrote), I have the same question as Pearl...

What is the most recent, completely vetted (e.g. you would put it on an automatic update), version of greasmonkey? That is the one I'd like to download.

how to install this ??

Jesse Ruderman said...

I get several strict warnings and an error when I run a Mac trunk debug build of Firefox with the Greasemonkey 0.7 candidate installed.


Startup:

JavaScript strict warning: chrome://greasemonkey/content/scriptdownloader.js, line 105: test for equality (==) mistyped as assignment (=)?
JavaScript strict warning: chrome://greasemonkey/content/scriptdownloader.js, line 115: test for equality (==) mistyped as assignment (=)?

To make this warning go away, add parens around the assignments.


Shutdown:

... "(void 0) has no properties" {file: "chrome://greasemonkey/content/browser.js" line: 287} ...

The not-so-useful error message is due to bug 380565. I'm guessing that it's |this.menuCommanders| that's undefined on that line of GM_BrowserUI.contentUnload.

Jesse Ruderman said...

Another strict warning and another error, both during startup:

JavaScript strict warning: chrome://greasemonkey/content/prefmanager.js, line 49: anonymous function does not always return a value

Chrome file doesn't exist: /Users/jruderman/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/bfljaaal.default/extensions/{e4a8a97b-f2ed-450b-b12d-ee082ba24781}/chrome/chromeFiles/content/dochandler.js

I have Greasemonkey Version 0.7.20070607.0 installed and I am using Mozilla Firefox Version 2.0.0.4. The Greasemonkey icon was not showing so I opened the tools menu, clicked add-ons, then I clicked the Options button under Greasemonkey. It does nothing and freezes the Add-ons window. I have tried uninstalling Greasemonkey and reinstalling it but that doesn't seem to work. The error occurs every time. Any solutions or ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Jax said...

When will a Gran Paradiso version be available? The alpha versions have been available for sometime. And when it is released, will Greasemonkey work or will it be updated again?

It isn't the best place to say it, but page http://www.greasespot.net/2005/05/more-obvious-user-script-alterations.html
is spammed. (See last comments and the date they posted)

FixMyRadeon said...

FOUND a slight PROBLEM:
If you have the "manage user scripts" box opened while you try to add scripts, YOUR SCRIPTS ARE ONLY TEMPORARILY INSTALLED, but the status bar still says "successfully installed."

I found this out the hard way after adding a bunch of scripts only to find after restarting FF that none were there.

Again, not a major pitfall, easiest fix would be to add a warning to close the "manage user scripts" box before adding scripts.

I clicked to install Greasemonkey 0.7

This is the first time I've ever tried downloading a script for ConquerClub.

Anyways, it says the download was succesful and I restarted Firefox, and under Tools I see the Greasemonkey tab is checked to enabled.

However, it doesn't seem to do anything. Help?

Ivan said...

I have read its incompatible with some other extensions please help.

André said...

Several people have asked which is the most stable recent version, or the most recent stable version. Would it be possible to please answer this question for your users? Thanks!

Jeffrey said...

krish said...

Hi

I have downloaded greasemonkey logo but dont know how to put it below the blog post so that I can write tags in there.....will someone please suggest....

Hamoid said...

Hi, I was wondering if adding jQuery to GreaseMonkey wouldn't make it more powerful? I'm already doing a trick to use them together, but would be cool if it was released like that already, or?

PAStheLoD said...

Any word on Greasemonkey on Firefox3 (Minefield)?

Eric said...

i don't get how it works... (i'm trying to use it for rapidshare but i don't know how.. can some1 explain this??)

Hi, I have translated the strings to zhTW, you may find it here: http://arithmandar.googlepages.com/Greasemonkey-zhTW.zip

Thanks a lot for the great script! When will an FF3 compatible version be out? They fixed some bugs in FF3, unfortunately the wonderful greasemonkey addon doesn't work yet.... noooooooo =)

Broken link said...

Using "Save as" on Install Greasemonkey 0.7 Candidate (0.7.20070523.0.xpi) will give you a .xpi file containing HTML. OTOH, it re-directs you to addons.mozilla.org offering version 0.7.20070607.0-fx.

Referred-to directory contains following versions:

greasemonkey-0.7.20071121.0.xpi
greasemonkey-0.8.20071208.0.xpi

Ozzy said...

Using FF v 2.0.0.11 and GM v 0.7.20070607.0

I uninstalled the previous version of GM as I wanted to start fresh. The new install will not let me save anything in the included pages section. I add http://groups.google.com/*, click okay but it is never saved. tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times.

Ideas??

PS - had GM enabled and disabled, while trying to add to the inluded pages box. Results the same either way.

Anonymous said...

For what it is worth, the greasemonkey-0.8.20071208.0.xpi pre-release does work on Firefox 3 beta 2

Martin Packer said...

Dear anonymous of 23 Dec 2007: Does not work (even with maxVersion fiddled with)? Or does work but needs that edit? The difference between the two is the difference between late support and early support.

(Perhaps obviously the Nightly Tester Tools are an equivalent method of getting round maxVersion.)

Pascal said...

there is a new nightly for FF 2

Pascal said...

A new 08.

0.8.20080121.0.xpi

I just installed greasemonkey, and it let me install my first script [had to go into 'new user script'], but from that point onwards, i cannot install any more. What am I doing wrong? I have un-installed and re-installed ... just won't let me do it. Please post back on here and i'll check back later today.

Thank You.
R.
