v1.5.3

🌟 Release v1.5.3

Added

• 🗂️ Selective Category-Wise Sync: Added an opt-in Category Filter section in Options (options.html) allowing users to choose exactly which top-level categories (e.g., Video, Privacy, Gaming, Audio) to mirror into their browser bookmarks bar. Eliminates bookmarks bar bloat by selectively syncing only desired categories (e.g., syncing ~2.2k bookmarks instead of the entire ~26k collection).
• 🏷️ Dynamic Category Metadata & Link Counts: Dynamically extracts top-level categories and calculates exact bookmark counts per category during synchronization, displaying estimated counts and curated descriptions in the Options UI with live search filtering and quick "Select All" / "Deselect All" controls.
• 🧹 Automatic Obsolete Category Pruning: Category selections integrate directly with the incremental diffing engine (bookmark_sync.js). Deselected categories are cleanly pruned from the browser's bookmarks bar on the next sync, while newly selected categories are added seamlessly.
• 🔔 Delta-Based Sync Notifications: Updated desktop notifications and popup status banners to report actual bookmark changes (+X added, -Y removed) on subsequent sync runs instead of repeatedly displaying the full collection count (~26k), while retaining the total link count for initial syncs.
• 📊 Bookmark Diff Statistics Tracking: Enhanced reconcileBookmarkSubtree and syncFMHYBookmarks in bookmark_sync.js to accurately aggregate active additions, deletions (including links within pruned obsolete folders), and title updates across all folder subtrees.

Fixed

• 🔗 Browser URL Canonicalization Diff Churn: Implemented normalizeBookmarkUrl in bookmark_sync.js to normalize origin URLs (handling trailing slashes). This eliminates recurring false diff churn where 357 domain-root bookmarks were repeatedly reported as +357 added, -357 removed on every run due to browser bookmark storage automatically appending trailing slashes to origin URLs.
• 📁 Empty Folder Pruning (Starred & Category Sync): Added recursive empty folder pruning (pruneEmptyFolders) in html_parser.js and bookmark_sync.js. Folders and subcategories with zero bookmark links in their subtree (such as empty subfolders like Anime Streaming Apps or empty section markers in the starred preset) are automatically excluded from the bookmark tree and pruned from existing browser bookmarks during synchronization.

v1.5.2

🌟 Release v1.5.2

Fixed

• 📁 Strict FMHY Folder Matching: Updated root folder detection in bookmark_sync.js to strictly match exact uppercase FMHY titles, preventing accidental matching against other folders on the Bookmarks Bar.
• 🔤 Unicode & Emoji Entity Decoding: Upgraded HTML entity parser in html_parser.js to use String.fromCodePoint() and added ' support, preventing corrupted characters for emojis and symbols above 0xFFFF.
• 📑 Netscape <DL> Tag Parsing Flexibility: Updated bookmark parser regular expression to support <DL> tags with whitespace and HTML attributes (<dl\b[^>]*>), ensuring compatibility with custom fork exports and tools.
• 🔗 Custom Fork Path & Repo Sanitization: Automatically strip .git suffixes from repository URLs and leading slashes from custom file paths in service_worker.js and options.js to prevent 404 errors.
• 💬 Concurrent Sync Status Feedback: Fixed popup status banner to display a clear "Sync operation is already in progress." message instead of reporting 0 synced bookmarks when a sync is triggered while another is active.

Changed

• 🔒 Local Native System Fonts & Store Compliance: Removed external Google Fonts CDN links from popup.html and options.html, fully relying on local native OS system fonts (-apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto) for faster offline loads.

Performance

• ⚡ Selective Settings Sync & Cache Preservation: Optimized saveSettings in options.js to only purge cache and trigger heavy ~3.3MB re-downloads when source repository, collection preset, or file path settings change, keeping theme and notification updates instant.

v1.5.1

🌟 Release v1.5.1

Added

• 🎨 System Default Theme Option: Added support for a System Default (Auto) theme mode across the extension popup and options preferences. The extension now synchronizes automatically with the operating system's dark/light mode preference (prefers-color-scheme), with dynamic real-time theme changes and cross-page storage synchronization.
• 🔑 Private Repository Support (GitHub PAT Authentication): Added optional GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) authentication under the Personal Fork strategy. Enables automated synchronization from private repositories via GitHub's raw contents API and elevates rate limits to 5,000 requests/hour.

v1.5.0

🌟 Release v1.5.0

Added

• ⚡ Incremental Diffing Sync Engine: Implemented tree reconciliation (reconcileBookmarkSubtree) in bookmark_sync.js. Reuses existing folder IDs and bookmark nodes to eliminate sync churn and prevent duplicate root folders across Chrome Sync and Firefox Sync devices.
• 📂 Customizable Sync Target Location: Added a preference in Options (options.html) allowing users to choose where the FMHY directory is synced:
  • Bookmarks Bar: Mounts FMHY at position 0 directly on the main Bookmarks Bar.
  • Other Bookmarks / All Bookmarks: Places FMHY inside Other Bookmarks (populates Chrome "All Bookmarks" side panel).
  • Bookmarks Menu: Firefox-exclusive container that hides FMHY from toolbar/other bookmarks and keeps it in the Bookmark Manager / Library.

Fixed

• 🔔 Dynamic Desktop Notification Target Labels: Updated service_worker.js to dynamically format notification location names (e.g., "Updated 26609 bookmarks in Other Bookmarks") matching the user's configured sync location.
• ⏳ Options Re-location Progress Feedback: Added live progress status ("Moving FMHY folder to destination...") and explicit await synchronization in options.js to disable controls until background folder re-location completes.

Performance

• 🚀 Parallel Subtree Reconciliation & Batch Processing: Concurrently processes subfolder trees per level and increased link creation batch sizes from 25 to 100 promises for faster initial setup and <1s routine re-syncs.

v1.4.4

🌟 Release v1.4.4

Fixed

• 🐛 Starred-Only Startup Re-Sync Loop: Tracked lastPreset in storage.local to detect preset changes and prevent ETags/commit SHAs from cached full collection runs causing redundant bookmark tree rebuilds on Firefox startup.
• 🧹 Options Cache Invalidation: Automatically clear HTTP caching headers when saving or resetting preferences in options.js.

v1.4.3

🌟 Release v1.4.3

Changed

• 🦊 Firefox Fork Compatibility: Lowered Firefox strict_min_version from 142.0 to 115.0 in platform/firefox/manifest.json to support Firefox ESR 115/128 and Firefox engine forks (Waterfox, Zen Browser, Floorp, LibreWolf).
