```
eval()

Compatibility with Firefox 4! Note that because of Firefox bug 612025 this is somewhat unsafe for 4.0b7 to 4.0b9 (inclusive). Beta 10 should be fixed (the nightly build on January 14th definitely is). Firefox 4 support is still preliminary. Everything probably works, but not everything works really well. The backlog of bugs for the next release is primarily focused on this.
Complete integration with the standard Firefox Add-ons dialog, treating User Scripts as just another kind of browser add-on.
A global options dialog, where the script editor can always be selected. ({{GHTicket |1012}}, {{GHTicket |1109}})
Live in-place editing for the entire script, including metadata (@name, @require, @include, @exclude, etc.). ({{GHTicket |1148}}, {{GHTicket |1157}}, {{GHTicket |1165}})
Web pages that end in .user.js are loaded as normal, instead of being installed as a user script. ({{GHTicket |1184}})

Bug fixes / minor enhancements:

All Greasemonkey windows respond to standard close window keyboard shortcuts. ({{GHTicket |1085}})
Support for @icon metadata imperative, displayed in the new add-ons manager integration. ({{GHTicket |1096}})

* Error "this.menuCommanders is undefined" bug when closing a browser window. ({{GHTicket |1087}})
* Error "ScriptDownloader is not defined" when performing view source on a user script. ({{GHTicket |1091}})

Jan 21st, 2008

http://www.greasespot.net/2008/01/greasemonkey-security-update.html

Security release where GM_xmlhttpRequest, GM_getValue and GM_setValue were hardened against a privilege escalation attack targeting specific user scripts accessing anything through unsafeWindow, thus gaining content code unrestricted access to those methods (thanks Anthony Lieuallen).
This change breaks backwards compatibility for scripts granting page code direct or limited access to either method via function references on unsafeWindow; see [0.7.20080121.0_compatibility] for available workarounds.

Introduced:

Rewrite of 'New Script...' UI. It now pops up a nice UI to get the script details and then generates and opens a script which is already installed that you can edit in one step. This is a huge improvement in the usability of this feature. Thanks to Anthony Lieuallen for the implementation.
Improvements to error reporting. Most types of errors in user scripts now give the correct line number in the error message. You can also click on the filename in Firebug to view the script, as with other types of errors in Firefox. Anthony is also responsible for this improvement.
Added support for overrideMimeType to GM_xmlhttpRequest. Thanks to Lior Zur for the patch. To use, add overrideMimeType: "yourmimetypehere" to the object you pass to GM_xmlhttpRequest.
New translations for Finnish, Japanese, and Russian. The Greasemonkey UI looks particularly cool in Japanese. Thanks to Tommi Rautava, Hisateru Tanaka, and Александр Соколов for their contributions.
