Make a new official release?

[atiensivu]

I know there were some issues with Firefox issuing certs for Add-ons for a while but it has been a year since there has been a release and there have been a lot of good commits since the last release. Any chance for a RC or a new official version?

Thanks!

Seconded @atiensivu.

This is a fantastic addon, and it'd be great if @tumpio or @ArenaL5 could make a new official release. As far as I can see there are lots of improvements and new rules in master compared to the latest release.

As a side note, these kinds of addons are getting a lot of interest lately. ClearURLs, which has a similar scope but is less flexible, has nearly 100,000 users on Firefox and has won the Recommended badge from Mozilla.

I'm glad to read you but, just to be clear, I only publish my changes in the default list of filters. I'm not a developer for this; the codebase is all @tumpio's. The most I can do is check #161 and set it to mergeable.

I only tested the dev version once and very quickly, so I don't know what's missing. There might be a broken feature, it might be issues with updating the add-on at Mozilla. You will have to ask @tumpio directly to confirm it.

Apologies @ArenaL5 and @tumpio. I just looked quickly into the last commits and since there were a few coming from @ArenaL5, I wrongly assumed you were also maintaining the addon.

One suggestion I have is that, if updating the addon frequently is cumbersome and/or you want to be conservative, you may want to develop rules separately as these change more often and testing is simpler. UBlock Origin does this and it works quite well I think. There's even a dedicated community now: https://letsblock.it.
