<https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/3436>: a new per-site switch
has been added, no-scripting, which purpose is to wholly disable/enable
javascript for a given site. This new switch has precedence over all
other ways javascript can be disabled, including precedence over dynamic
filtering rules.
The popup panel will report the number of script resources which have
been seen by uBO for the current page. There is a minor inaccuracy to
be fixed regarding the count, and which fix requires to extend request
journaling.
<https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/308>: the `noscript` tags will
now be respected when the new no-scripting switch is in effect on a given
site.
A default setting has been added to the _Settings_ pane to
disable/enable globally the new no-script switch, such that one can
work in default-deny mode regarding javascript execution.
<https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/155>: a new
hidden setting, `requestJournalProcessPeriod`, has been added to
allow controlling the delay before uBO internally process it's
network request journal queue. Default to 1000 (milliseconds).

experiment with compression
- collate together specific filters with same base domain
- replace string-based hash to integer-based hash
- revisit code to benefit from ES6-specific syntax
- Default to being detached
- Default to "Current tab"
- Append current tab title to "Current tab" entry
- Avoid iterating through all tabs when no change
A new filtering class has been created: "static extended filtering".
This new class is an umbrella class for more specialized filtering
engines:
- Cosmetic filtering
- Scriptlet filtering
- HTML filtering
HTML filtering is available only on platforms which support modifying
the response body on the fly, so only Firefox 57+ at the moment.
With the ability to modify the response body, HTML filtering has
been introduced: removing elements from the DOM before the source
data has been parsed by the browser.
A consequence of HTML filtering ability is to bring back script tag
filtering feature.
- badfilter option was no longer working following last refactoring
changes.
- performance work:
- reduce duplication of large strings.
- new lighter FilterBucket to use when only 2 filters: FilterPair.
* refactoring assets management code
* finalizing refactoring of assets management
* various code review of new assets management code
* fix#2281
* fix#1961
* fix#1293
* fix#1275
* fix update scheduler timing logic
* forward compatibility (to be removed once 1.11+ is widespread)
* more codereview; give admins ability to specify own assets.json
* "assetKey" is more accurate than "path"
* fix group count update when building dom incrementally
* reorganize content (order, added URLs, etc.)
* ability to customize updater through advanced settings
* better spinner icon
Now splitting high-high generics in two subgroups: one group for
simple selectors, another group for complex selectors. Turns out
the great majority of high-high generics are simple selectors, and
simple selectors can be applied incrementally with DOM changes, as
opposed to complex selectors. This brings in a significant perf.
improvement in the processing of high-high generics (previously,
all high-high generic selectors were processed as one big complex
selector).
Interpretation/implementation of exception filters with negated
hostname(s) has been revised: no block filter is implied anymore
for such filters. At time of writing I found only 10 such filters
in EasyList, and none in commonly used filter lists.
part of the package. The code here is to ensure a seamless transition from
local assets which have been converted to remote assets. The only side
effect to expect is that the selfie, if any, will be invalidated.
