v2.19.0

New features since v2.18.0:

• tags
  • added in script's settings
  • shown in dashboard as links inside an entry
  • clicking a tag sets the search query to this tag and shows all scripts that have this tag
• dashboard: icons to perform batch actions on scripts that match the search query
• dashboard: search in script code by default again, enable case-sensitivity for regexps without i flag and when the input is quoted
• popup: show matching scripts that weren't injected in this tab with the name crossed in red e.g. when the extension was just toggled/updated/installed and the tab wasn't reloaded yet, or after "reload tab without scripts" command, or due to an incorrect use of @match with a Single-Page Application site
• internals: faster processing when there's a lot of disabled scripts
• editor: separate config for CodeMirror in script editor -> values -> editor

Fixes for scripts

• promisified GM.xmlHttpRequest and GM.download so it can be await'ed.
• GM_setValue + GM_addValueChangeListener with frozen tabs
• built-in global functions like setTimeout/setInterval were sometimes overridden by the web page
• userAgent customized via about:config or devtools device overrides will be sent now in GM_xmlhttpRequest as User-Agent header

Editing/updating

• won't re-download dependencies in installer when tracking or in editor when saving
• won't re-download dependencies unnecessarily when clicking updateAll button in the dashboard
• will set script's lastUpdated time only if its code changed and not just settings
• throttling updates from the same server for 1000ms to avoid "too many requests" error

Changes since v2.18.3:

• various fixes for UI/dashboard/import

v2.16.0

Notable changes since 2.15.0:

• New menu commands to open settings, update matched scripts, reload the page without userscripts
  

• Context menu for the icon
  

• update:

  • disallow editing auto-updated scripts by default as long as the update option is enabled + an option to allow edits for those who isn't afraid to lose their changes next time the script is auto-updated
    
  • check only 2 scripts simultaneously when updating all scripts
  • disable browser cache when checking for an update
  • force a re-download from server when manually checking an individual script for update
  • allow manually updating a script in the dashboard even if its update option is disabled in the editor, the icon is hollowed in this case:

• Chrome 86+: tracking of edits in a local file by drag'n'dropping it into any Violentmonkey page/popup. Now you don't need to enable the unsafe access to file URLs in chrome://extensions page for Violentmonkey and you don't need to install a local HTTP server. To make life even easier you can assign a hotkey to activate the extension's popup and press it while dragging the file, then drop it inside.

• use 'nonce' of the page in Firefox to automatically inject in page mode (examples: twitter, reddit).

• CtrlS or ⌘S hotkey in text fields inside Violentmonkey's advanced options section

• Alt or ⌥ key or double-click to select the script name when sorting by execution order

• added keyboard navigation in the list of @require/@resource viewer

• Added Undo button in the info bubble shown after importing the backup file

• minimum Chrome version is 61

• New installation buttons:

  

  You can click the checkbox to set the default button and enable the hotkey CtrlEnter or ⌘Enter:
  

  The next button's checkbox overrides the previous button's checkbox:
  

  For local files:
  

  Auto-reload of the tab:
  

• GM_info:

  • added GM_info.isIncognito boolean
  • added GM_info.platform.brand (also exposed as browserBrand), it's the most unique brand from navigator.userAgentData.brands (currently supported only by Chrome/ium 90 and newer), it's guaranteed to be unaltered by another extension in the page.
  • added shorter aliases name and version in GM_info.platform for browserName and browserVersion.

• GM_notification:

  • added zombieTimeout, tag, silent options;
  • when onclick function is specified the notification will be shown until the user clicks it (in Chrome).

• GM_registerMenuCommand: new parameter to specify the command's hint, auto-close behavior, and an id to change the command without recreating it.

Notable fixes:

• old code was injected under certain conditions when editing scripts, #1793
• old GM storage was used when the tab was reloaded quickly, #1899
• pre-rendering and bfcache in Chrome
• script installation in sleazyfork
• script version detection on greasyfork
• GM_getResourceURL in Chrome 109 and newer;
  in earlier versions of Violentmonkey please use GM_getResourceURL('name', false) as a workaround
• GM_log in Chrome 109+
• GM_xmlhttpRequest:
  • stop sending duplicate readystatechange 4 events in Firefox
  • improve internal performance for a huge text response
