v1.34.0

1.34.0 - 2026-08-19

Changed

• The unpacked extension bundles are no longer carried in git. dist/extension-chrome/ and
  dist/extension-firefox/ are build output that npm run verify regenerates on every commit
  touching src/ — 1.9 MB of incompressible content.js per target, per commit, that nothing read:
  the load-unpacked instructions and the release artifacts both come from a build. They are ignored
  and built on demand; dist/aviary.user.js and dist/aviary.meta.js stay tracked because a
  userscript manager polls them by raw URL. docs/INSTALL.md now says to build first, for both
  browsers.

• Every release named in this file now has a tag on the commit that bumped its version. Nine
  releases were tagged and thirty-one were documented, so most of the project's history could not be
  checked out, diffed, or bisected by reference — which is the wrong gap for a project whose most
  frequent question is "when did this selector break". Twenty-four tags were added, located by the
  commit that changed package.json rather than by commit subject, since not every release commit
  said "release". The two releases with no entry at all, 1.7.0 and 1.15.0, are written below
  from their own commit ranges and labelled as reconstructed.

Added

• Copy a post's link for an alternate front-end. Library gains a Copy post links as choice
  (X, fxtwitter, vxtwitter, fixupx, xcancel); pick anything but X and each post grows a Copy
  link control that writes that post's address on the chosen host. Deliberately copy-time
  rewriting rather than redirection: redirecting x.com navigation is the shape everyone else
  shipped and has since removed, because logging in through the alternate host now sets an x.com
  cookie and the front-ends people redirected to have been architecturally dead since X removed
  guest tokens. Nothing X rendered is modified, no navigation is redirected, and no request is
  originated — only what you copy changes. Off by default, and the host list is closed so a typo
  cannot produce a link to somewhere you did not mean.
