Changelog

1.0.2

  • first version published to npm

1.0.0

  • complete code rewrite with respect to modern Firefox SDK
  • deprecated methods: setOptions(), setVisibility(), getVisibility(), getButtons()

0.7.0

0.6.0

  • New method, setOptions(), that enables changing tooltip and click action
  • New click handler option, options.gotoUrl, that will open the specified URL on click

0.5.0

  • Released, but withdrawn and reverted. Focused on updating the package to better support new SDK versions, but became broken and thus all changes was reverted.

0.4.1

  • Support for Mozilla's Add-on SDK version 1.13b1

0.4.0

  • No longer handling the decision of whether a button should be shown or not. Moved the onLocationChange and onPageShow listeners, that were called when a new page was loaded, into a new module, ShowForPage, and removed support for those listeners along with removing the callbacks that were used in them.
  • Changed setImage and setVisibility to have the href-parameter as the last parameter instead of the first as that makes more sense for an optional parameter.
  • Changed setVisibility to have its href parameter be optional for real
  • Added new getVisibility method
  • Button can now have a tooltip

0.3.0

  • No changelog being tracked for this and prior version, but main changes were related to extended ways for a button to be hidden and shown.
