Changelog for version 2.0

What was new in version 2.0?

MAF 2.0.6 had the following user-visible improvements over MAF 1.0.0:

• Greatly improved performance, accuracy and compactness when the option to take a faithful snapshot of the page is selected:
  • Pages are saved instantly, because hidden content that is not needed to display the current state of the page is not downloaded anymore.
  • Saved pages can be much smaller, since they do not include unneeded content.
  • Saved pages can be displayed more accurately, because now scripts specified using event attributes or "javascript:" URIs are also removed, making sure that they cannot modify the page structure when it is opened later.
  • If an image or other support resource is not found, the error page is not saved in place of the missing resource anymore.
  • Images and other content that could not be saved are not connected to their original location anymore, leading to truly offline archives and making it possible to verify that all content has been saved.
  • Saved MHTML archives can now be previewed correctly in Windows, even if they contain text in a language other than English.
• A notification bar with information about the original save date and location is now displayed for all archived pages.
• Updating to the new version makes sure that all the customized internal configuration settings are reset to their default value, resolving problems caused by old settings that, starting with version 1.0, could be changed only from the about:config page. There is usually no need to customize those settings anymore.
• Now it is possible to link to a specific section inside an archived page, appending a fragment or hash part to the URI of the archived page.
• The integrated Save Complete component is now able to save framesets.
• The Saved Pages Conversion Wizard is now able to recognize complete web pages saved using Firefox or SeaMonkey in several languages other than English and the current browser language.
• The add-on is no longer tested with Firefox 3.0, Firefox 3.5, and SeaMonkey 2.0.
