Version 4.7 of GNU LibreJS has been released.
GNU LibreJS aims to address the JavaScript problem described in The
JavaScript Trap. LibreJS is a free add-on for GNU IceCat and other
Mozilla-based browsers. It blocks nonfree nontrivial JavaScript while
allowing JavaScript that is free and/or trivial.
You can download and install this new version from
http://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/
If you own or maintain a website, please take the time to free your
JavaScript: http://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/free-your-javascript.html
[BUG FIXED]
* In certain circumstances, free scripts embedded on a page were blocked
while they should have been allowed to run. This has been fixed.
[CHANGES]
* LibreJS now detects 256 different versions of popular free libraries,
such as jQuery, MooTools, and Prototype. It uses the SHA1 hashes from
the upstream files for this purpose. Only verbatim copies of these
libraries are detected as free by LibreJS.
* A new module has been created to make LibreJS compatible with
Https-Everywhere. Since IceCat ships with Https-Everywhere, this fix was
a precondition to the next IceCat release.
* You can now add license information in your JS Web Labels for
JavaScript that is embedded dynamically.
Please report bugs at [email protected] and remember to complain to
websites you visit that have nonfree JavaScript.
