Version 0.14.1 - Regression fixes

• Compatibility: Compatible with Thunderbird 115.* - almost (see this version).
• Compatibility: Not compatible with anything else :-(

Bug fixes:

• #99 Stop messing up the message subject label by corrective recoding
• #112 Avoid throwing an exception when the 3-pane window has no message displayed
• #113 Skipping useless corrective recoding of the weird header-in-body tables (don't worry, you don't see them as a user anyway)
• #114 No longer trashing the console with debug messages about chrome injection/overlaying

TB 115 compatibility + partial restoration of charset misdetection capabilities

• Compatibility: Compatible with Thunderbird 115.* - mostly.
• Compatibility: Not compatible with Thunderbird 102 and earlier

Unresolved TB 115 compatibility issues

Note: The extension is fully compatible with TB 115 except for this issue:

• #102 TB developers broke the main toolbar, and the new "unified toolbar" is difficult to get buttons onto. How to do so is not documented, and I have not figured it out yet. Toolbars on individual message reading and message composition windows work fine.

Other bug fixes:

• #30 Correctly detecting direction on reply in more cases
• #98, #97 (Among other things, ) now properly performing corrective recoding when we're able to - even if we've not been allowed to trigger a character set change and a reloading of the message.
• #103 The Ctrl+Shift+X key, which was often/mostly broken in v0.13 of the extension with TB 102, now workers properly with TB 115
• #76 Removed a debugging-related menu item which had snuck into the last release by mistake
• #110 Respecting the initial direction preference with v115

Cosmetic & minor issues:

• #109 Tweaked cycle-direction-setting-mode labels
• #56 Improved look of dark theme button icons
• #73, #83 Updated website and email links - now linking to the GitHub repository and to my new(ish) email address

Version 0.13: TB 102 compatibility

• Compatibility: Compatible with Thunderbird 78.* - 102.*
• Compatibility: May be compatible with Thunderbird 68.* .

Bug fixes:

• #61 Switching paragraph direction from the main menu now working again
• #51 Fixed issue with prompting new user for a choice of default charset

Version 0.12 - Thunderbird 91 compatibility

• Compatibility: Compatible with Thunderbird 78., 91.1 and likely all 91. versions.

• Compatibility: Not compatible with Seamonkey 1.x, Toolkitized Seamonkey (2.x).

• Compatibility: May be compatible with Thunderbird 68.* .

• Now separating the user's preferred display charset in Thunderbird from the user's preferred single-byte charset for the mis-decoding correction of BiDi Mail UI.

Internal changes (no user visibility):

• Now using preference"extensions.bidiui.mail.display.preferred_single_byte_charset".
• Removed some not-really-package-specific utility code in favor of standard Javascript facilities and the Preferences.jsm module
• No more need for the paragraph splitting/merging code, Thunderbird does this for us these days.
• Updated the extension loader ("WindowListener") version to 1.56
• Reworked the extension's build script
• Removed the bidimailui-preftree.xul file, an unused remnant of Seamonkey support.
