Greasemonkey 0.6.9: gm_scripts directory bug gone forever?

Download Greasemonkey 0.6.9

Anthony has made a change in this release which will hopefully end the issue which keeps popping up of the gm_scripts directory not existing.

Other interesting bits in this release:


  • You can now reorder the scripts in the manage dialog with drag+drop or the arrow keys
  • You can now use Firebug's console object to debug Greasemonkey if you have Firebug installed.
  • Fix bug where install dialog would pop up when Greasemonkey is disabled


Full change log here

Greasemonkey 0.7 Candidate

Hello all,

Since there were some pretty major problems with the last release that caused significant grief, I've rethought how releases will work. Going forward, we will:
  • Do candidate releases to greasemonkey-dev and greasemonkey-users. Before, we just sent candidates to greasemonkey-dev. If you are interested in cutting edge builds and don't mind getting a little messy in the process, subscribe to one of these lists. This will get more eyes on finding regressions early.

  • Once the candidate is vetted on the mailing lists, we will do a candidate release on this blog.

  • Only once the candidate is vetted on the mailing lists and the blog will we do an autoudpate.
This release is the first to follow the new process. Please add a comment to this post with any bugs you find. If there are serious regressions I will do a new release here before autoupdating.

There are no new features other than bug fixes for the previous release. In particular:
  • Fixed the bug where you can't install scripts if you have never disabled Greasemonkey.
  • Fixed the bug where drag and drop in the manage dialog only works once per view.
  • Fixed the bug where removing a script in the manage dialog also removes the last script.
As always, you can see all recent changes to Greasemonkey on the dev website.

Thanks for your patience!
