Description:

Midori versions 3.5, 3.6 and 4.0 behave odd with Linterna Magica and Vimeo. The Linterna Magica object keeps getting resized vertically. All other versions behave as they should. It seems there is nothing that could be done and the bug is in Midori. Sorry.

Version:
0.0.10
Release date:
07 August 2011
Description:

The new and improved Linterna Mágica. Now with Phonograph! (In other words, it should play audio clips as well.)

  • There are many new features and options. There are also some changes. You should read the documentation section, if you made any configurations to previous versions, or used the "Linterna Mágica user config" utility script with trunk.
  • A lot of code clean up and framework changes. This improves maintainability and future support for new sites. (Tasks #11216, #11193, #11122)
  • Added configuration option to set preferred quality of the video, if there are high definition links found. Read the documentation. (Task #11085)
  • Added possibility to switch between HTML5 players, in sites that provide them and Linterna Mágica. Works the same way as the switch for Gnash/Swfdec. By default HTML5 players have the highest priority. (Task #11064)
  • Added possibility to keep configurations in separate userscript file. This way your settings will remain intact when newer version is installed. Read the documentation. (Task #11055)
  • Translated strings are exported and kept in separate userscript files. This reduces the file size of the main userscript. Most users will need only one language, if they want any translation at all. (Task #11056)
  • Added link in the about box to the bug tracker. (Task #11060)
  • Added link in the about box to the microblog at Identi.ca. (Task #11059)
  • Added audio streams support. Theoretically, audio clips should be found and played. (Task #11058)
  • Selected high definition links are marked and visible to the user. (Task #11063)
  • Support for remote clips from Google Video. (Task #11061)
  • Added support for yourlisten.com (audio clips).
  • Added support for livestream.com (Task #11211)
  • Improved support for The Onion (https://theonion.com). (Support ticket #107708)
  • Added support for Khan Academy (khanacademy.org).
  • Added indention to debug messages according to debug level in the console and the web logger.

Release date:
15 June 2011
Description:
  • Fixed Blip.tv support. (Bug #33556)
  • Added support for Blip.tv clips in remote sites support. Linterna Mágica plays clips from Blip.tv in remote sites right away, thanks to Blip.tv's JSONP API. You don't have to visit the dedicated clip page at Blip.tv. (Task #11062)
  • Added support for That Guy with the Glasses (https://thatguywiththeglasses.com/), thanks to Blip.tv support in remote pages.
  • Added support for The Onion (https://theonion.com). (Support ticket #107708)

04 March 2011

Links:
Version:
0.0.9
Release date:
01 March 2011
Description:
  • Fixed blocking in YouTube with GNU IceCat and Abrowser, while parsing scripts (without Gnash/Swfdec). Other Firefox versions should work too. Viewing YouTube without Gnash/Swfdec should work in every supported browser.
  • You do not need HTML5 capability or Gnash/Swfdec with GNU IceCat and Abrowser while viewing Vimeo.
  • Added support for public video clips at Facebook. If they use the same logic for video clips available after login, Linterna Mágica should work with them too. I never had Facebook account, and I am not planning to make one just for testing. For video clips available after login you depend on Facebook mercy.
  • Fixed support for Daylimotion. Only clips hosted at Dailymotion work. As always.
  • Fixed support for Vimeo with clips encoded in MPEG4 while using Totem plugin.
  • The major change from development point of view is that the source code is split into JavaScript, CSS and image files. The user script is build with make, grep, sed, base64 (and other GNU Coreutils). What this means is that the user script is not the source code anymore. This will help maintenance. The split is one step closer to separate extensions for every browser. This is a crazy idea, that I have, which will let us have more freedom and capabilities compared to the user script.
  • Added updates checker. Linterna Mágica version 0.0.9 will notify you when there is new release. You can disable this feature or set custom interval that should be used to check for updates.
  • Added capability to read debug messages trough the interface of Linterna Mágica.
  • A lot of other fixes that were too much to remember and were not tracked.
  • Objects with flash embedded in remote sites with video clips from Vimeo, YouTube, Dailymotion and Vbox7 are detected and a link to the web page of the video is provided.
  • The userscript is little bit smaller. This is achieved by stripping comments and optimizing the embedded PNG images, but new code made it almost insignificant.
  • Version 0.0.9 is reviewed for hosting at Savannah. The process started with 0.0.8-2, but it overlapped with the new release. If accepted, the project will have mailing list and bug tracker. Even the web page might be moved there.
