Releases · ParticleCore/Iridium

As you all know the development on the extension stopped a while ago due to the lack of free time on my part to dedicate to this hobby, however I've never gave up on the extension.

After reflecting on what to do next I've decided to drop Userscript and Chrome versions in order to facilitate the process of manipulating the YouTube source code through a far easier method than my previous method.

Unfortunately the API required for this method to work (webRequest.filterResponseData()) is only available in Firefox, Chrome appears to have decided to not implement it. It is only for this reason Chrome no longer has any support.

As a result of this change developing and maintaining the extension will be far easier and lighter when considering that there were times it took months to find a way to restore the video auto play feature after YouTube changed their code, for example.

Other good news is since the extension is no longer required to abide by Google's T&C features that could not be implemented before can be implemented now, such as video download.

This release is very light, it only comes with three features at the moment since I believe it would be better to have few new functioning features released whenever they are ready instead of waiting for the whole product to be completed.

With that said, every future release should include a new feature until the feature list is completely implemented.

This version was increased in its major number to give leeway for the previous version to be worked on if it ever needed to be. There are no plans for that though, it is just a precaution and helps differentiate this version refactor from the previous barely functioning version.

I appreciate all the people that have helped and encouraged me to keep developing, it is always a valuable gesture to receive.

Fixes update, feature removal and announcement

Yesterday I received an email from the Chrome Webstore warning of impending removal of the extension from the web store if nothing was done in 7 days. Today I receive another email, this time informing that the extension has been taken down.
For this reason I had to rush the smallest fixes I could push in hopes of getting the extension up and running on the store.
This was the result of users reporting the extension as not working, users that have low tolerance for bugs and can't wait for them to get fixed. For this reason the Chrome extension version will become a paid extension, as it was announced in #648 . Chrome users that don't want to pay for the extension can use the Userscript version, that one will continue being free, this measure meant to weed out the short-tempered users and their report quick trigger and make my life less problematic.
The Chrome extension will be free for the Patreon users.
As a consequence of this situation I have decided to remove the features that are incompatible with YouTube's instead of making them compatible since I was rushed to push an update for the Chrome extension, this means Always Playing is now gone. In the future I might revisit this feature again.

Fixes update

YouTube recently made significant changes to their source code which has postponed some work on the extension in favor of fixing the biggest problems as of right now. If nothing else changes the development will resume as normal from now on.
