@tmtisfree Is all of the above correctly about yourself?

tmtisfree commented 7 years ago

Yes.

TPS commented 7 years ago

@tmtisfree Wow, you're tough to track down! Are you interested in keeping an open development repo of JSView Revive on GitHub, either here (as I invited earlier) or under yourself? I'll happily give you whatever rights you want here, if that's your wish.

tmtisfree commented 7 years ago

Sorry for not responding on the PM forum. The JSView code is not online anywhere and I don't plan to develop it further. So you can get the latest code from the Pale Moon repository, update here from it and take over the development if you wish.

Some credentials are needed to update the Pale Moon repository with a new version. I can check with the PM staff to know if I can share them with you or I you need new ones.

Is that OK?

(Note that I plan to travel a lot in the next 2 months, so be patient.)

The purpose of this rejuvenate repo is precisely that, so no worries. I myself am not a dev, but am willing to maintain the code's availability, so actual devs can contribute in a public manner.

So, giving me PM credentials will be counterproductive. Hang on to them somewhere safe, &, next time someone wants to update the XPI, we'll request the PM devs then.

I'm not trying to offend anyone, but this repository has an older version (v2.0.8) of JSView Revive - the current is v2.1.8.

Firefox will soon be using WebExtensions exclusively, so the Firefox version in this repository will soon be outdated. It might have been better to fork nekman's port to Chrome here since Firefox's WebExtensions will now work with that same code.

I don't know anything about the Pale Moon browser, so I'm not sure if it is also being updated to use WebExtensions. Just to clarify, is this repository meant to target Firefox or Pale Moon, or both?

Actually, @Mottie, this repo has the last version I could find of JSView that I could find before it was abandoned/discontinued/removed, before the Revive edition existed. 😁

The purpose of this issue is to update to the latest (last?) Revive edition, & the preceeding discussion is preparatory for the subissues in OP. But feel free to submit PR to speed up progress — the rate I'm going, 2017 2117 may not see me land this. 🤷‍♂️

This repo is exclusively for the XPI version, per terms of https://github.com/rejuvenate/rejuvenate. Other versions are likely to be more religiously maintained than this, & this serves those of us who don't wish WebExtensions on our Ff-related browser(s) — like Pale Moon.

This add-on had never really been either abandoned nor discontinued, it had had a life between v2.0.8 and when I took it over (v2.1.2). Please see the release notes from the Revive version.

TPS commented 6 years ago

@tmtisfree I really can't find those notes.… Are you the original author csdev, as well⁉️

tmtisfree commented 6 years ago

No, I am TMTisFree ;)

Versions are listed in the (also attached) file named "mod-notes.txt" in the Revive version.
