Redirector Versions

Back to Redirector main page

Version 1.6 — May 24, 2008

Compatible with Firefox 3.0.*.

Version 1.5.2 — January 28, 2008

This version pretty much adds all features and fixes that people have been asking for, that’s why I bumped the version all the way up to 1.5.1. Here’s what’s new:

• Firefox 3 compatibility
• Improved UI in the Redirector settings window
• Access Redirector settings through the statusbar icon. Left click disables Redirector, right click shows settings.
• Ability to hide context menu and status bar through about:config, just search for redirector and you’ll find the config options.
• Replacement chars ($1,$2…) for wildcards as well as regular expressions.
• Help file included with examples, accessible through the Redirector settings window.
• Possible to add exclude patterns in addition to the normal include patterns, this makes capturing certain things simpler.
• And last but not least, redirects now work when opening new windows, new tabs, middle clicking links, opening bookmarks and opening urls from other applications.

One feature was removed in this version, that is the xpath redirect urls. The reason is that as far as I know no one was using the feature and it was causing some problems so I decided to remove it. I think this addon is pretty much feature complete at this point, I don’t think I’ll work more on it except to fix bugs from now on. Enjoy

Version 1.5.1 — January 23, 2008

This version was what is now 1.5.2. It was rejected at AMO, so I changed it and released as 1.5.2. Version 1.5.1 was available on this site in the meantime.

Version 1.5 — January 8, 2008

This version was what is now 1.5.2. It was rejected at AMO, so I changed it and released as 1.5.1. Version 1.5 was available on this site in the meantime.

Version 1.0.2.1 — October 5, 2007

Bugfix release. Two bugs:
1. Fix missing statusbar icon on linux
2. Fix error that came in the error console when Redirector was disabled

Version 1.0.1 — October 2, 2007

Bugfix release. Two bugs fixed:

1. The stop button was always active and it looked like pages never finished loading.

2. There were some memory leaks when opening and closing new windows.

Version 1.0 — September 28, 2007

Three new features in this version:

1. Instant redirects instead of loading the page before redirecting.
2. XPath expressions to specify redirect urls.
3. Redirect url can now be a relative url and will then be resolved against the first url.

Details about these features have been included in the main extension description.

Version 0.9.2 — August 7, 2007

This version adds an ‘Add…’ button to the main Redirector window (Tools -> Redirector) so you can enter urls and patterns directly from there. If you do it there you of course won’t get the example url filled in automatically.

Version 0.9.1 — June 2, 2007

All functionality working. Not yet 1.0 because I have to fix some minor UI things (i.e. make it not be butt-ugly) and some other minor things.
