September 14th, 2009

Add tools-specific options:

· Preference data are stored in toolsPref.js

· Change the type of the test proxy progress bar to undermined.
· All generated files (netError.xhtml, proxyData.js, toolsPref.js) are placed in a separate "custom" directory, apart from the content directory.
· Many code changes, e.g. aggregate tools URL in a Javascript object.

What's new in ErrorZilla Plus 0.7.2:

September 14th, 2009

· Add ROT13 encoding.
· Show progress meter during proxy test. Show result in label instead of alert window.
· Fix bug in proxy test, which may cause nothing to show if the test fails.

What's new in ErrorZilla Plus 0.7:

September 14th, 2009

· Add "Test proxy" function. You can test your proxy configuration in the Add Proxy or Edit Proxy window.
· Fix error of the "Trace" tool.
· Use the new Firefox 3.5 logo as the background in the error page.
· New add-on icon, which is also based on the Firefox 3.5 logo.

What's new in ErrorZilla Plus 0.6.2:

September 14th, 2009

· Move proxy data out of netError.xhtml, and store in an independent file "proxyData.js". Re-patching will not erase proxy data anymore. This change also slightly improves proxy data writing preformance by avoiding touching netError.xhtml.

What's new in ErrorZilla Plus 0.6.1:

March 6th, 2009

· Changed the detection of toolkit.jar file to a more general approach so that from this version both Windows and Linux users can use EZP immediately after installation. No manual patch is required anymore.

· However, the manual patch and browse buttons are still there. Use them as you want.

What's new in ErrorZilla Plus 0.5:

December 3rd, 2008

· From this version ErrorZilla Plus patches the Firefox' original error page to make new functional error page, thus you won't see the error page file "netError.xhtml" in the extension package. The advantage of patching is, even if your Firefox is updated and the original error page is changed, you only need to click the patch button again to get the up-to-date compatible yet powerful error page without updating this extension (I assume the DOM structure of netError.xhtml and its location is not significantly changed, which is quite rare).
· Once the extension is installed, at the first run of Firefox, the error page will be patched. No additional action is required. You can also request patch again in the preference window. Patching may destroy proxy data, be careful!
· Even though ErrorZilla Plus may work for any future version, it does not support Firefox earlier than 3.0, because of some changes in components' interfaces. (See one example in the release note of Chrome List 0.3)
· Linux versions of Firefox have different paths of toolkit.jar (the jar file containing the original error page) and I have not found a way to locate these paths universally, thus ErrorZilla Plus does not support any other system than Windows. I may add an option to let user pick out toolkit.jar.
· Another future work is to support more encoding method. Currently ErrorZilla Plus only support Base64 encoding.
· Number of bugs are fixed.

What's new in ErrorZilla Plus 0.4.4:

September 25th, 2008

· Added column headers on the listbox in the error page.
· Updated pre-defined proxy list.
