Description Kalidarn 2007-04-17 16:39:53 UTC
v 1.1.4.7.070413
=====================================================================
+ "noscript.globalwarning" about:config hidden preference controls
  wether a warning prompt should be issued or not whenever user
  switches on scripts globally (true by default)
x Improved Anti-XSS Protection compatibility with some message boards
  (special thanks to Aerik and Olaf Schweppe)

v 1.1.4.7
=====================================================================
+ First "official" anti-XSS release
+ New plugin content detection algorithm defeats latest aggressive 
  Flash cloaking strategies (e.g. http://www.hardocp.com/ )
+ Improved subframe detection, includes object elements (e.g.
  http://www.operamini.com/demo/ )
+ Improved fast reload, preserving form input data.
+ Minefield full compatibility

v 1.1.4.6.070409
=====================================================================
x Fixed weird intermittent interference with dynamic JavaScript 
  inclusion via document.write() used by some JavaScript libraries 
  (e.g. Prototype, Dojo or Tiny-MCE)

v 1.1.4.6.070404
=====================================================================
x Drastic reduction of XSS redirection-related false positives

v 1.1.4.6.070325
=====================================================================
x Fixed regression, leak happening on window closure (10x pirlouy)
x Fixed regression, file:// entries missing from menus (10x therube)

v 1.1.4.6.070322
=====================================================================
+ Safer behaviour on reloading/whitelisting a XSSed page

v 1.1.4.6.070321
=====================================================================
+ XSS sanitization of the whole request URL
+ XSS sanitization of the referrer URL
+ XSS filters exceptions for some "trusted" addresses requiring 
  cross-site complex query strings (controlled by a regexp in the
  noscript.filterXExceptions hidden preference, defaults to Google 
  search and Yahoo search)
+ Better general search engine compatibility with anti-XSS filters
x Several performance optimizations

v 1.1.4.6.070318
=====================================================================
+ First anti-XSS countermeasures round: "default deny" sanitization
  is applied to every request coming from an unknown (restricted) 
  site and landing on a trusted (scripting allowed) site:
  1. GET requests with a query string get all the matches for the
     noscript.filterXGetRx regular expression replaced with space
  2. POST requests are turned into no-data GET
  3. Every request filtering action is logged to the Console, while a
     short notification is issued through the info-bar* (if enabled)
     *Info-bar notifications require Fx 2.0 or above
  Behaviours 1 and 2 can be controlled from NoScript Options|Advanced

v 1.1.4.6.070317
=====================================================================
x Customizable keyboard shortcuts (about:config - noscript.keys.*) 
x Quick toggle (by shortcut or toolbar) behaviour changed to 
  *Temporarily* Allow / Forbid (old behaviour can be restored by
  setting the about:config noscript.toggle.temp pref to false)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




Lots of versions have been missed, no major ebuild stuff needs to be changed except for the mirror.

Also note that "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/" is generally more out of date than "http://software.informaction.com/data/releases/noscript-1.1.4.7.070413.xpi" the direct download link. I think last time this went out to the other gentoo mirrors.
