RedditBoost v0.6.3

Bug Fixes

• Due to deprecation of Imgur API v2, had to upgrade to version 3.

RedditBoost v0.6.2

Features

• A small delay before loading the hover preview now exists so that the mouse cursor can move around the screen without loading every media link it passes over.
• The hover preview popup now follows the mouse, where previously it centered on the screen.

Bug Fixes

• Hover preview popup no longer has a larger width only because of a long reddit title.
• Non-animated Gif images no longer fail to load, since they are now checked using an API call to determine if they can be converted to a Gifv animated video.

RedditBoost v0.6.1

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue where using cookies resulted in running out of space too fast. Local chrome storage is used now, and after 1MB of storage it automatically clears the memory so it can never run out of space.

RedditBoost v0.6.0

Features

• Added thumbnail hover preview.
• Added link visited effect to previewed links.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue where hover preview position and size was not correct when appearing to the left of the mouse.
• Fixed issue where loading gifv was not properly indicated in preview popup.
• Fixed issue where previewed media that was very small would still have a larger popup.
• Fixed issue where the hover preview would still show for certain unsupported links.

RedditBoost v0.5.0

This is the initial beta release of RedditBoost. At this point, the extension is feature complete and the bugs are mostly negligible. It's ready for use publicly.

RedditBoost v0.4.0

Features

• Re-written in TypeScript. This includes a complete rework of the Hover Preview code, which performs much faster and more stable now.
• Mirror button for links. When clicked, either opens up the archived link at archive.is in a new window, or indicates the mirror does not exist (media links or an Alexa rank of at least 3000 are excluded).
• Hover Preview now maximizes the preview size.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue where the hover preview would appear in the bottom left corner of the page.
• Loading animation while doing an API call for imgur/gfycat information now appears correctly.
