Session Manager Development changelog

0.6.8pre20100125

Try to prevent the session prompt window from opening off-screen.
Also try to keep the session prompt window from enlarging off-screen.
Finally make sure user doesn't resize the session prompt window too small to show the dialog buttons.

Fix regression compatibility issue with Tab Mix Plus's Single Window mode.
Fix issue where undo button might not be enabled when there were closed windows or tabs available on Firefox startup.

Fix: No longer get errors when trying to save sessions with an * in the name (at least under Windows).
Try to work around error that occurs when SessionStore is prevented from initializing correctly by another addon.

Fix issue with load window height growing taller every time it is closed with the windows/tabs list open.
Work around for hang that happens when caching sessions in the background in Firefox 3. See Firefox bug 466850.
Fixed issue where 1 old backup would be saved if user set to save 0 old backups and also set to not backup sessions.
Only save temporary backup copy if user sets to resume last session. No longer save if set to prompt on startup.

Fix issue where sessions saved on a crash (backup or autosave) could become corrupted.
When changing encryption only put one one error alert, no matter how many fail.
Change encryption in a thread so it doesn't freeze the GUI.
Change the code that fixed the closed window list so that if the user cancels the master password prompt 3 times, it deletes the closed window list.
Add a function to safely display alerts when in a thread.
Fixed problem where location bar won't allow input on restart when only popup window remains (OS X only) - See Firefox bug 519099.
Updated code that creates session file header to be less complicated.
Fixed file naming issue where a space could end up being a "_". This could cause a session to duplicate in extremely rare cases.
Don't initialize logged if not running in main thread.
Fix logger to log all types of exceptions.
When force logging, but logging isn't enabled log to console only (not file).
Was initializing logging too early. Need to initialize after profile loads.
Buffer log events made before initialization and log them on initialization.
Change from using FUEL/SMILE preference event listeners since they don't work correctly - Firefox bug 488587.
Cache sessions at startup using a background thread.
Add hidden preference "extensions.sessionmanager.allowNamedReplace" which if set to true will cause double clicking a session name in the save window to the replace existing session, but use the default session name.

Completely redesigned thing by moving most of the objects and functions out of the Chrome window and into a Module - This should result in less memory usage and will make it easier to share data between windows. This required a lot of changes and it's possible I missed something so please let me know if something isn't working correctly in this version.
Reloads that occur on loads with the reload preference enabled should no longer be noticeable by the user (yes they will be that fast)
Moved code to a new namespace (com.morac). This only affects other extensions that try to access Session Manager. I added a work arond for Tab Mix Plus.
Added icon.png so icon shows up when Session Manager is disabled (Firefox 3.7 only)
