v2.0.12 (RC2)

In this release

• feat: normalize dweb: in href and src (#286)

  Content script detects premature :-) use of IPFS-related protocols in href and src attributes
  of DOM elements such as <a> or <img> and replaces them with URL
  at the user-specified public HTTP gateway.
  And yes, if IPFS API is online, HTTP request will be redirected to custom gateway!

• style: improved validation URLs in Preferences (03491f5)
• diff: v2.0.11...v2.0.12

Installation

• Firefox: Install From AMO Developer Channel
• Chrome: Install From Chrome Web Store

v2.0.11 (RC1)

In this release

• feat: proper /ipns/ validation (7d9a1f2)
  Background: this is a final touch in effort for enabling automating detection of IPFS resources on all websites. We don't have false-positives anymore, there is no need for a white-list of known public gateways.
  The add-on detects /ipfs/$cid and /ipns/$cid_or_fqdn_with_dnslink on any website and is able to load it from IPFS (via custom gateway)
• feat: Option to customize Default Public Gateway (#284)
• feat(options): URL validation in Preferences (3565061)
• fix(browserAction): improved support for HiDPI screens (8a43015)
• feat: option to reset all preferences to default values (7759546)
• diff: v2.0.10...v2.0.11
