# Change log
This is a list of new fixes and other changes made to SOUP during its continued development.
SOUP version numbering generally follows the _major.minor.patch_ scheme. Odd minor versions (1.1.x, 1.3.x, 1.5.x, etc.) are reserved for unstable development versions ("devel" branch on [GitHub][github]), while even ones denote stable releases ("master" branch on [GitHub][github]). The change log below thus only includes even version numbers, as changes between development versions are too numerous to list.
1.28 (3 Feb 2015)
====
This version mainly features some older styling fixes that didn't make it into 1.26, released in preparation for a bunch of new fixes involving the Stack Overflow redesign.

1.26 (10 Dec 2014)
====
It's been a while since the last stable release, again. I'd been meaning to carry out more systematic browser compatibility and regression testing before the next release, and to find and prune away fixes that may have become unnecessary, but I never got around to finishing that. However, I've been using the devel version myself on both Firefox and Chrome long enough that I can probably consider it pretty well tested by now. Opera compatibility is currently untested; if you're using SOUP on Opera and find any issues with it, please let me know!
Most of the changes in this version are back-end tweaks meant to improve performance and stability. I've also partially rewritten the README page, and started documenting the SOUP internal structure and API at the [SOUP wiki on GitHub](https://github.com/vyznev/soup/wiki) to make third-party contributions easier. Any feedback is welcome!
**New fixes in 1.26.0:**
* [salesforce836: Div containing 2 minute tour button not big enough](http://meta.salesforce.stackexchange.com/q/836) (CSS, salesforce.SE only)

* [mse243519: Dangling signature dash in comments](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/243519)
* [mse84296: RTL text can mess up comment timestamps](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/84296) (CSS)
**Removed fixes:**

* [mse240485: “Show more comments” link breaks for unregistered users if a comment is posted after page load](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/240485)
**Other changes:**
* Content filters are now applied to new comments loaded via Ajax.
* Made the content filter mechanism more flexible, so that filters can be made to run only on specific events.
* Made Ajax hooks run immediately by default to minimize flicker; let's see if this breaks anything...
* Content filters are now applied to answers loaded in review by the [mse172931](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/172931) fix.
* New utility function `SOUP.hookChat()` for monitoring chat events.
* Chat content filters now use the page visibility API to only run in active tabs.
* Removed unused `SOUP.requestAnimationFrame()` compatibility wrapper.

* Various other README.md changes, including a direct install link for the devel branch and a link to the SOUP wiki on GitHub.
**New fixes in 1.26.1:**
This is a quick single-fix releast for the math.SE moderator election.
* [mse220611: Blue background on nominee comments only when expanded](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/220611)

**Changes in 1.26.3:**
* The [mse217779](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/217779) spoiler fix no longer breaks clicking the spoiler to toggle visibility.
1.24 (7 Oct 2014)
====
A relatively fast-track release for [mse240485](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/240485) and [mse240486](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/240486), which both involve loss of UI functionality. Also includes a couple of new lower priority fixes, and one internal fix to a SOUP-induced UI regression on Chrome.
**Changes in 1.24.2:**
* Added `max-width: 100%` to the `<kbd>` tag style ([mse58760](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/58760)), just in case someone does something silly like [sticking a huge image inside `<kbd>` tags](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/273103).
**Changes in 1.24.1:**
* Removed the [mse240553](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/240553) fix added in 1.24.0, as it's no longer needed.

* [mse240485: “Show more comments” link breaks for unregistered users if a comment is posted after page load](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/240485)
**Removed fixes:**
* [mse233470: Answer lock notice runs into text below](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/233470) (CSS, fixed)
**Other changes:**
* Redesignated the [stats1987](http://meta.stats.stackexchange.com/q/1987) fix as [mse154788](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/154788), since that post has a more comprehensive description of the issue. Tweaked the CSS to avoid [occasional spurious scroll bars in Chrome](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/240352).
1.22 (15 Sep 2014)
====
This is just an incremental release to push out a few updates that missed v1.20 and were stuck in the devel branch. More active development may or may not resume later in the year. As always, contributions are welcome.
**New fixes in 1.22.0:**
* [math16552: Using \[tag:\] markup in posts creates an ugly gap between lines](http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/q/16552) (CSS, math.SE only)
**Other changes:**
* Improved and simplified the [stats1987](http://meta.stats.stackexchange.com/q/1987) fix by using `max-width` instead of `table-layout: fixed`. This fixes [a minor layout issue with large vote counts](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/229830) and adds scroll bars to over-wide comments.
* Added release dates to change log. Trying out short release notes as well.
* Added `@homepageURL`, `@copyright` and `@license` metadata lines.
1.20 (28 Jul 2014)
====
**New fixes in 1.20.0:**
* [mse169225: Why does the bounty award button appear on deleted answers?](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/169225) (CSS)
* [mse266852: Bar between “add a comment” and “show more comments” is inconsistent](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/266852)
**Removed fixes:**
* [mse104184: Allow flagging a comment after upvoting it](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/104184) (fixed by SE)
**Other changes:**
* SOUP now hooks the WebSocket interface to detect chat events instead of polling for them.
* [mse229363](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/229363): Hot question titles from the [Aviation](http://aviation.stackexchange.com) and [Puzzling](http://puzzling.stackexchange.com) sites are now eligible for MathJax parsing.
1.18 (5 Jul 2014)
====
**New fixes in 1.18.0:**
* [mse234680: Domain names in an URL are incorrectly encoded as escaped ASCII characters instead of punycode](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/234680)
**Other changes:**
* The sidebar question score wrap fix ([mse229751](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/229751)) is split into a global part and a site-specific part.
* The mobile link cursor fix ([mse108046](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/108046)) is applied to all links without `name` attributes.
* The HTTPS link rewrite fix ([mse221304](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/221304)) is now applied also to chat and area51 links.
* Content filters now work properly on chat (using brute-force 0.5s interval polling, since there's no proper hook for chat updates).
* `SOUP.isChat()` and `SOUP.isMeta()` are now set already during early setup.
* Devel branch versions should now auto-update properly (and not just when a new master release is made).
* Update checking is optimized by duplicating the script metadata in `SOUP.meta.js` and pointing `@updateURL` to it instead of the main script.
1.16 (26 Jun 2014)
====
**Changes in 1.16.1:**
* The [mse229759](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/229759) fix has been made redundant, only a few hours after v1.16.0 was released.

* [french347: Make spaces unbreakable when it's obvious that a line-break should not occur](http://meta.french.stackexchange.com/q/347) (french.SE only)
**Other changes:**
* The [mse230607](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/230607) fix is no longer needed, and has been removed.
* The [mse224628](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/224628) fix is no longer relevant, since the 10k flag review page no longer exists; the code has been adapted for [mse115702](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/115702) instead.
* [mse229363](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/229363): MathJax is now also parsed in hot question titles from earthscience.SE.
* The [math12803](http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/q/12803) fix is now split into two parts, of which one is math.SE specific and the other is applied on all sites.
* The [mse215473](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/215473) styles are no longer incorrectly applied to links in popups created from the post menu.
* Fixes can now run scripts early, before the document loads, by specifying them with the `early` property. Note that jQuery is typically not yet available at that stage.
* New `SOUP.addContentFilter()` utility method to simplify fixes that manipulate post content.
* Fancy new icon.
