New in Autofill Forms 0.9.6.1 (Sep 18, 2010)

  • Fixed the locale bug introduced in 0.9.6.0. As a temporary measure, only en-US and fr-FR locales are supported in 0.9.6.1. This will be fixed in the next version.
  • Cleaned-up the dynamic tags import/export. The updated import function now checks for duplicates and empty rules (empty tag name / empty tag rule).
  • The tag editor allows for any changes to be cancelled. This has now been extended to importing tags: If tags are imported from the advanced tab, they are added immediately. However, if imported through the tag editor, they are added only when the ok button is pressed. If the cancel button is pressed instead, the imported tags are discarded.
  • Tweaked the layout and window size to 650x450 which should display on smaller screens.
  • Clicking multiple times on the dynamic tag button doesn't open multiple windows anymore. It still does when the settings window is open and closed while the tag editor window is left open. Not quite sure how to fix this (see the updated showDialog function in autofillForms.js).

New in Autofill Forms 0.9.6.0 (Sep 14, 2010)

  • Added support for the latest versions of firefox (3.6.8, 4.0b5 and nightly)
  • Basic support for exporting / importing Dynamic tags to text files
  • Support multiple profiles in a single file (both export and import).
  • Option for filling-in disabled fields
  • Added rule name in the alternative rule dialog window
  • Basic support for exporting/importing Dynamic tags. Basic means that the import won't check if a dynamic name is already available (same name and same rule) but this could be added later. The file format is very similar to the one for exported rules, but safety checks are in place if you try to load one for the other.
  • Trigger change events. Some forms use change events to trigger background actions. This is now supported through a preference option.

New in Autofill Forms 0.9.5.2 (Sep 1, 2008)

  • [FIX]Adjusting the "Add complete form as profile..." and "Add a rule for this field..." features to add the values of non-text fields as regular expressions.

  • Added a fix to show only a selection between radio buttons if the alternative rules are placed next to each other or the rule is the same.
  • Alternatives must be placed next to each other and match the field, but don't require the same field rule anymore.
  • Replacing control characters with placeholders when adding a new rule or profile via the context menu of form fields.
  • Replacing control characters with placeholders on text input for the rule values (Firefox >= 3).
  • Adding a preference for the tabulator placeholder (by default four space characters).
