The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 0.79

  • ! Remove the 'pagehide' event from events that are considered completion events for a loaded page
    • This should improve the stability of the test suite and other programs. If you find that some programs don't work anymore, you will need to add 'pagehide' to the 'events' array.
  • . Fix spurious debug output (contributed by ???) . Fix ->save_url for Firefox 36+ (Thanks to Olivier Trichet) Firefox isn't as tied to backwards compatibility as Perl is: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Reference/Interface/nsIWebBrowserPersist#saveURI() . Fix infinite loop while waiting (Thanks to Alexander)
  • Note that Firefox 40+ doesn't nicely support getting at Javascript variables within a page anymore.
