v0.3.0

Added

• Better handle when to open and close bookmark folders for a smoother experience.
• Error tracking. Async and non-invasive. Since the performance impact is low it's also on by default but is easy to opt-out of.

Changed

• Higher priority main JavaScript file loading for better load performance.
• Better CSS minification for smaller code final size and faster browser parsing.
• Build and development process improvements.
• Tighter CSP than Chrome defaults for better security.
• JavaScript bundle size reductions.
• General code clean up.

Fixed

• Menu animation no longer stutters.
• Menu is a bit more usable on small screens.
• Bug where the document is loaded multiple times due to an incorrect <img> src attribute.

v0.2.0

Added

• Now published on the Google Chrome web store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab/cpcibnbdmpmcmnkhoiilpnlaepkepknb.
• Search now also finds matches in your browsing history.
• Subtle shadows to show depth and highlight areas of interest.
• New menu items and menu open animation.
• Listen to tab events and update tabs list when something changes.
• Show message when there are no matching search results for a category.
• Wrote a better readme.

Changed

• Renamed all files and directories for consistency.
• A more logical file layout including most Marko components as single files rather than directories with multiple files.
• Better build flow.
• Performance improvements:
  • Inline CSS in HTML + add minimal page markup to template for near-instant initial page load.
  • Better minification in builds — even though Chrome extensions serve local files from the filesystem, minification still improves browser parsing times.
  • Short CSS classes for faster DOM parsing and matching.
  • Set many elements as no-update for much faster Marko rendering passes.
  • Use key on repeating elements for faster rendering when elements move in the DOM (e.g. during search/filtering).
• Clean up, improve, and move build scripts into /build.

Removed

• Dependency fast-memoize as the benefit was not really there.

Fixed

• Bookmark folders open to the right if there's not enough space to show the folder in the window.
• Debounce search input to help prevent layout thrashing when search results appear.
• Add title attribute to bookmarks to view long bookmark titles on hover.

v0.1.0

Added

• Initial public version including all the basics; working proof of concept code, readme, etc. Not ready for release yet though, it's still far from being actually useful!
