December 14th, 2010· Firefox 4: fixed translucent context-menus.
· Added "Use Selected For All URLs" proxy context-menu item. Requested here.
December 10th, 2010· Improved support for Firefox 4 beta. Known bug: context-menus are translucent on Windows 7.
· Fix for Tools menu indent problem on Windows - thanks Nils Maier of DownThemAll!
· Changing statusbar default display. Previously, the statusbar displayed (by default) "FoxyProxy: " as well as the FoxyProxy icon. Since color-per-proxy was introduced, it doesn't make much sense to keep the "FoxyProxy: " text there by default. Mode can be inferred from icon color. Moreover, many addons are trying to minimize their statusbar footprint these days. It makes sense to remove this default option. The new default is to display just the FoxyProxy icon. You can restore the text by clicking Ctrl+F2 then Global Settings tab-> Indicators->Show mode (text) on statusbar. This does not affect upgraded installations; only new installations.
· Changed references of foxyproxy.mozdev.org to getfoxyproxy.org

· Removed extraneous stdout messages that got included in 2.21.3 (or so)
· Version bumps; officially dropping support for Firefox 3.0.x -- I'll see if I can bring it back later. The previous FoxyProxy Standard release (2.21.4) doesn't work with Firefox 3.0 already due to the Firefox 4.0 porting efforts. Unfortunately, that release wasn't labeled as such so Firefox 3.0 users were automatically upgraded.
· Credit to OCS in the about box
August 21st, 2010· Now compatible with Firefox 4

June 21st, 2010· Increased Firefox version compatibilty

· Two new hidden settings: excludePatternsFromCycling and excludeDisabledFromCycling.
· To use: close firefox. In foxyproxy.xml, change the new "excludePatternsFromCycling" and/or "excludeDisabledFromCycling" attribute from its default of "true" to "false". Requested at http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/drupal/content/improving-cycle-through-proxies-mode.
· Locale updates
· Version bumps for Firefox
January 29th, 2010· Fixed "all proxies" enabled at startup" bug discussed at http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/drupal/content/all-proxies-enabled-startup-doesnt-remember-preference
· Hidden setting for not disabling a proxy in FoxyProxy when its PAC file can't load. To use: close firefox. In foxyproxy.xml, change the new "disableOnBadPAC" attribute from its default of "true" to "false". This can be set on a per-proxy basis so you will see "disableOnBadPAC" listed more than once.
· Locale updates
January 22nd, 2010· Fixed ever-increasing main window size problem
· If proxy is disabled because of missing or broken PAC, it is attempted to be restored on restart of FF. Discussed here.
· Locale updates
· Increased minimum Firefox version to 3.0a1. 2.0.* is no longer supported / tested.
· Songbird version bump
January 13th, 2010· DNS "leak" fix for SOCKS proxies. See the new checkbox in Proxy Settings: "Perform remote DNS lookups

· Minor Add/Edit Proxy dialog bug fix
· Animated FoxyProxy icon in About box (Thanks, Jesper!)

· when the PAC file is next found
· McAfee Site Advisor support. Discussed here.
· Work towards re-enable proxies disabled by missing PAC but feature is not yet complete.
· Width and height of main options dialog and proxy settings dialog remembered between opening/closing
· Fixed bug which prevented the proper display of an error message to the user if he was using a PAC with a syntax error or other problems.
· Discussed here.
· Proxy DNS column added to Proxies list in the main window and ChooseProxy window (displayed with Alt+F3)
Default display columns for new installations is now:
Proxy list:
· Enabled
· Color
· Proxy Name
· Proxy Notes
URLS Patterns list:
· Enabled
· Pattern Name
· URL pattern
· Whitelist/Blacklist
Logging list:
· Timestamp
· Color
· Proxy Name
· URL
· Pattern Name
· All other columns are still available but must be enabled explictly. The point is to enable less clutter
· by hiding by default lesser-important columns.
· Tor wizard now uses remote DNS lookup by default instead of prompting the user
· Warning about using parentheses without a backslash in patterns. Since backreferences aren't relevant in FoxyProxy, there's no point in using parentheses without matching them literally.
December 2nd, 2009· Fix for French which caused French installations of 2.16 to completely break
