v0.16.1

Removed

• Debounce delay on search input (no real downside to searching on every character change + now search feels snappy)

Changed

• Code golfing for output bundle byte savings

v0.16.0

Change highlights

• Migrated to new JS framework stage1 (my fork of stage0 with various improvements)
• Performance improvements; initial load speed, especially with many open tabs in particular, has a noticeable improvement
• File size optimisations
• Migrate package manager from yarn to pnpm
• Add test tooling and tests
• Improve linting and CI
• Automate creating Github releases via https://github.com/maxmilton/action-create-release

v0.15.0

First release that includes the big refactor. Even better performance and significantly smaller files.

Note: This refactor is still WIP so this version will not be published on the Chrome Web Store. It works with known bugs so it's here for early adopters.

Change Highlights

• New JS framework; migrated from svelte to stage0
• New bundler; migrated from rollup to esbuild
• New CSS preprocessor; migrated from postcss to ekscss (xcss)
• Rewrote the entire thing from scratch to take advantage of stage0

NOTE: From this release onwards the release notes will be in each release on GitHub. To view old release notes see the old CHANGELOG.md file.

v0.14.0

Added

• Extract search results list into new reusable component.
• Extract bookmarks folder into separate component and make a new bookmark node functional/routing component which conditionally renders a folder or link item. This avoids Svelte's logic to insert comment DOM nodes to anchor an if block in case the condition changes.
• Some extra JSDoc comments for better development feedback in VS Code.
• Replace many packages with the new @minna-ui/* packages.

Changed

• Rename most internal names (variables, props, functions, etc.) to remove the leading underscore and to be more descriptive and to be unique so closure compiler mangles it.
• Use a kind of line-height hack to align things with minimal CSS.
• Use OffscreenCanvas instead of document.createElement('canvas') — Chrome v69+.
• Move global click handler logic from menu component to src/common.js.
• Better click event capture.
• Tweak shadow colours and animation timing.
• Move manifest.js into src directory.
• Move most tooling configs into package.json for a cleaner and less intimidating root directory.
• Updated dependencies.

Removed

• Automatic search input focus on document click as this feature was mostly unknown and we now match the UX of the default new tab page.
• Custom HTML build code, now replaced with makeHtml from @minna-ui/rollup-plugins.
• Automatic :global() around styles, now these need to be added manually.
• Unnecessary dependencies.
• Excessive (and broken) exports information during production build.

Fixed

• Can't open chrome:// bookmarks sometimes due to click event race condition (still an issue but is now triggered less).
• Favicon alignment and all favicons have a right margin even if there is no adjacent text.
• Excessive use of event listeners; click listener on every link item instead of just on open tab links.
• Unnecessary white space textNodes present in DOM. Uses trimCustomFragments option of html-minifier which means now we need to add special ignore comments in some places to avoid breaking the app due to collapsed white space in attributes and props.
• New linting errors.
• Clean up externs and build config.

v0.13.0

Added

• New setting to sort the list order.
• Show stats about exports at build time.
• Customised settings for rollup watch mode.

Changed

• Light theme is now the default.
• Extension settings are now stored locally and do not sync to your account.
• Big refactor of the whole app — same features but changed to do the minimum necessary computation:
  • Rename various variables and methods to be more understandable and mark private objects with _ instead of __.
  • Move app click handler outside of Svelte component since it doesn't need to interact with the component.
  • Reorder top level components for better initial load JS parsing.
  • Place menu static HTML into a {@html} block to avoid unnecessary work and for smaller JS bundle size.
  • Refactor settings app for smaller JS bundle size.
  • Set up bookmark bar resize handler in the component to avoid Svelte setting up a remove handler (the event never needs to be removed)
  • Refactor bookmark bar resize handler loop.
  • Add a new reusable LinkItem component which is shared between the bookmarks bar and the search result.
  • Complete refactor of BookmarkItem and Search components to do the minimum necessary to achieve the desired functionality.
• Updated dependencies.

Removed

• Background script was keeping the extension in memory for fast loading... but after some testing it's not necessary. Now the browser can manage the extension memory use better.

Fixed

• Move theme loader code into a script tag in the HTML page to make sure it's executed as early as possible. This should reduce the chance of a flash of the dark theme when the user has the light theme setting enabled.

v0.12.4

Added

• Extension icons.
• New chokidar dev dependency which improves watching the filesystem for changes while in dev mode.

v0.12.3

Changed

• Updated dependencies — including a Svelte update which might bring improved performance by doing batched component updates.

v0.12.2

Changed

• Better search results "show more" button style.

v0.12.1

Changed

• Switch from Travis to Circle CI for faster and better continuous integration.
• Clean up and improve package.json.

Fixed

• Bookmarks not overflowing correctly due to incorrect calculation of width ("Other Bookmarks" not taken into consideration correctly).
• Don't show "Other Bookmarks" folder if it's empty.

v0.12.0

Changed

• Only set the search component as immutable rather than the whole app.
• Updated dependencies.

Fixed

• Handle bookmark bar overflow.
• Hide "Other Bookmarks" when it's empty.
