v0.9.8

• Now explicitly setting direction of HTML tables.
• New extension icon.
• Compatibility: Extension now works (appears to work, anyway) with Thunderbird 38.x (some contentaccessible chrome was masked by other chrome with the same URI).
• Other bug fixes, including some issues caught by the AMO validation.

v0.9.7

• Fix: Tthe paragraph spacing preference was not being put into effect in new messages.
• The preferences dialog allows choosing whether the Enter key inserts a new paragraph (which can have its own direction) and inter-paragraph spacing, or just a line break.
• Fix: The Ctrl+Shift direction change logic was incorrect in some cases.

0.9.6

• Compatibility: Dropped official support for Mozilla Suite 1.x, Seamonkey 1.x and Thunderbird 1.x
• Compatibility: Resolved version 0.9.5 compatibility issues with Thunderbird 2.x
• Compatibility: We were busting the status bar in most themes with Thunderbird 5.x
• Reduction of the processing time required by the extension (significant in long complex messages).
• Better detection of mis-decoding in certain situations.
• Now correcting charset mis-detection also for message subjects.
• Can now insert Unicode Left-to-Right Marks (LRM) and Right-to-Left Marks (RLMs) using keyboard shortcuts, rather than requiring a mouse right-click (which would often mess up the caret position). The shortcuts are Ctrl+Shift+R and Ctrl+Shift+L.
• When composing HTML messages, the composition window now always defaults to Paragraph Mode when you open it.
• When composing HTML messages, the vertical paragraph margins are now set globally using CSS.
• Working around Thunderbird's default behavior of sending HTML messages as plain text if they don't have any "special" formatting - that makes our HTML composition capabilities useless...
• Minor improvement of charset misdecoding detection logic.

0.9.5

• Internal changes in conformance with addons.mozilla.org requirements.
• Charset misdecoding correction now attempted as best possible on all replies
• Misdecoding correction now includes message subject lines.
• Internal changes for exposing the extension's functionality for use by other extensions.
• Direction of new paragraphs no longer reverts to the document direction, but rather preserves the last paragraph's direction.
• Significant speedup in loading & display of long uniform-direction messages (with a slight cost in loading & display of long mixed-direction messages).

v0.9.4

• Compatibility: Thunderbird 3.0rc1, recent Seamonkey 2.1.x trunk versions (with customizable toolbar).
• Fix: No longer ignoring ISO-8859-6 charset as a relevant Arabic encoding.
• Fix: Resolved issue with formatting toolbar buttons being duplicated (but now, the indentation, numbering and bulleting buttons are not direction-corrected).
• Can now switch directions using the Ctrl+Shift key combination (although we can't tell between Ctrl+RightShift and Ctrl+LeftShift).
• Now affecting HTML elements with pre-set direction set via dir attribute.
• Now affecting HTML blockquote element directions.

v0.9.2

• Fix: Charset misdecoding detection had some issues on trunk builds.
• Fix: Direction setting buttons, which had become busted in 0.9, work correctly again.
• DIV elements in HTML messages will from now on have their directions set by our autodetection.
• No longer complaining about the choice of ISO-8859-8-I as the default charset preference.

0.9.1

• Fix: Character set selection dialog was buggy.

v0.9

Secondary version number bump:

• Direction is now auto-detected for each paragraph separately.
• When reading a message, user can choose between 'autodetect directions', 'flush all paragraphs left' and 'flush all paragraphs right', using a toolbar button or a keyboard shortcut.
• Completely reworked message charset correction logic; now correctly setting the charset in many more cases.
• Ability to correct the charset of messages with multiple MIME parts in different charsets, and even text in different charsets within the same MIME part.
• Basic message direction now preserved when doing 'Edit as Draft...'
• Version release procedure changes.
• Users whose default charset isn't windows-1255/6 are prompted about the limited functionality in this situation.
• Text direction detection logic improved: More cases correctly identified, somewhat better performance.
• Arabic locale is now the general 'ar' rather than the specific 'ar-SA'.
• Now decoding numeric HTML entities in messages, e.g. ס becomes the Hebrew letter 'Samech'.

v0.8

• When you manually set the direction of a message, this setting persists, so that if you view another message and come back to the first one, your choice of direction still applies.
• Composed message direction setting now also applies to the subject input box.
• When setting RTL direction, the message will now be aligned to the right edge of the window, not the the 80-characters-from-the-left vertical line.
• Now setting direction of every DIV element within a message separately.

v0.7.4

• Now using all bidirectional character ranges, not just those for your own preferred language, for determining message direction.
• Message subject textbox now also set to the same direction as the message body.
• Slight Improvement of the logic for detecting misdecoded UTF-8 messages.
