FiltaQuilla Version History

31 versions

Be careful with old versions!

These versions are displayed for reference and testing purposes. You should always use the latest version of an add-on.

Version 5.3 736.2 KiB Works with Thunderbird 128.0 - 140.*

Upcoming in the next big release: Thunderbird will soon ask you to choose your preferred update path — either the annual ESR track or the faster monthly releases. Learn more about the new release model

The ESR version will stay on v140, increasing minor version numbers and including only security fixes and bug patches, which is often preferable for corporate environments.

The monthly release cycle will deliver new features and interface updates as they’re developed. Please check whether your current add-ons support this release model. To help with this, you can install the Add-on Compatibility Check.

If you would like to support FiltaQuilla with donation you can now do so here. For more ways of supporting me work, please read the section below after the change log.

Improvements
  • Made compatible with Thunderbird 140.*.
  • Improvement in asynchronous Save Attachments, leading to slow down of Thunderbird when filtering POP3 mail (no copy listener) [issue 349]. We are now allowed to use nsIThreadManager.processNextEvent() in order to give cycles back to the system while the attachments are processed. Please restart Thunderbird to force changes to come into effect.
  • Play sound improvements: Fixed open sound file button, extracting the supplied sounds to the default folder profile/extensions/filtaquilla and added a play sound button to filter editor.[issue 350]

Miscellaneus
  • Refactored internal action logic for better maintainability and consistency.
  • Rewrote `saveMessageAsFile` to support concurrency and cleaner path handling.

Version 5.2 718.0 KiB Works with Thunderbird 128.0 - 139.*

Improvements
  • Made compatible with Thunderbird 139.*.
  • Make Save Attachments Asynchronous, to future Proof for Thunderbird 128, 140 and release channel [issue 347]. Please restart Thunderbird to force changes to come into effect. It is highly recommended to run filter after junk detection as this will not potentially lock up the user interface when Thunderbird starts up.
  • Fixed: save message as file (with custom extension) - does not work anymore [issue 343]

Version 5.1 718.0 KiB Works with Thunderbird 128.0 - 138.*

In order to move forward with the current release cycle (monthly releases) I decided to raise minimum version to Thunderbird 128, I am doing regular testing with the current beta versions but they may only be a single version number ahead! To help test new versions and be ahead of the curve, you can subscribe to issue #262.

If you would like to support FiltaQuilla with donation you can now do so here

Improvements
  • Made compatible with Thunderbird 137.*. Minimum version going forward will now be Thunderbird 128.
  • The helper function saveAllAttachments() was removed and had to be reimplemented going through web extension layer. The save attachments action is now set to beind asynchronous. This might potentially improve overall performance in Thunderbird. [issue 319].

Miscellaneus

Bug Fixes (5.1)
  • Error when using Javascript for a Saved Search criteria (Tb 137) [issue 338]. The existing xhtml window for editing javascript stopped working in Thunderbird 136, therefore I rewrote the feature using a standard HTML window and more modern back-end code.
    Also, in later versions of Thunderbird 128, the use of eval() triggers a CSP exception and thus does not work at all anymore. I reimplemented the scripting using the more restricted (and safer) evalInSandbox, which only gives a limited, controlled scope to the environment that is accessible from the script.

    I regard Thunderbird as a database fat client, with limited tools. Add-ons make the data access much more accessible. The mail store, address books and the Global Database are data the users own. I want to empower my users to access this data in the way they choose, therefore local scripts running in a sandbox environment should be allowed. However we will not support remote script to be executed as it opens up big security problems.

    There may be corporate users of Thunderbird who have a different view on data access, but they can (and usually do) enforce company policies by controlling which apps or Add-ons are allowed to be installed.
  • Fixed: Save Attachments To no longer working in Thunderbird 128 [issue 339] This was a regression caused by modernizing the code which worked well with the current API of the release version Thunderbird 137. I had to add some missing data to the attachments array in order to be able to filter the correct attachments (excluding inline images and other such data).

To do
  • Work in progress: Allow automatic running of filters outside of Inbox (IMAP only) [issue 318]. As adding the checkbox in folder properties didn't meet policy restrictions, we plan to add a web extension compatible interface for this at a later stage, possible through the folder tree context menu.

  • Save Messages: Made file operations asynchronous. This should avoid significant slowdowns when Thunderbird starts and tries to execute filters that potentially save many files or attachments. [issue 335].

  • Header Regex match: Support using anchor tokens ^ and $ for address lists [issue 329].
  • Thunderbird 136 retires ChromeUtils.import - replace with importESModule. Also converted all jsm modules to ESM modules. [issue 331].

Version 3.1 877.0 KiB Works with Thunderbird 74.0 - 87.0

Version 3.1

FiltaQuilla is now compatible with Thunderbird 78. Again, FiltaQuilla had to be largely rewritten for Thunderbird 78, because support for some key technologies was deprecated by Mozilla (bindings was central to making the filter editor work, so there were numerous days of work and guessing necessary to get it back on track. Many thanks to John Bieling from Thunderbird for helping especially with the very problematic Filter Editor.

Going forward most bugfixes / new features will be exclusively available for Thunderbird 78 - but there may be some minor backports for Thunderbird 68. The reason for this is that through architectural changes on the Mozilla code platform the code for Thunderbird 68 and earlier is substantially different.

Going forward most bugfixes / new features will be exclusively available for Thunderbird 78 - but there may be some minor backports for Thunderbird 68. The reason for this is that through architectural changes on the Mozilla code platform the code for Thunderbird 68 and earlier is substantially different.

  • Check the new Issue Tracker for open problems and to add feature requests.
  • [issue 64] Make FiltaQuilla compatible with Thunderbird 78 ESR. The gruelling detail on all the necessary work can be read there.
  • All bindings were replaced with pure JavaScript. This affected editing all conditions that FiltaQuilla adds to the Filter Editor.
  • Printing didn't work anymore </p>
  • [issue 45] Fixed "Move later" / "Copy as Read" For Thunderbird versions > 64
  • [issue 76] Fixed detach attachments - if the attachment was already removed then no empty file is generated, but a message is shown in error console showing the "last seen location" where the attachment was originally detached to.
  • Fixed behavior of opening FiltaQuilla page jumping to in-page links when a tab with the same basic URL is already shown
  • 3.0.1 - version bump because I had to rerelease 2.1.2 fixing a syntax error in manifest.json
  • 3.0.3 - fixed firstRun code so that support site is loaded on install / update

Version 2.1.2 93.5 KiB Works with Thunderbird 68.0 - 73.*

Going forward most bugfixes / new features will be exclusively available for Thunderbird 78 - some changes may be backported to Thunderbird 68. The reason for this is that through architectural changes on the Mozilla code platform the code for Thunderbird 60 and earlier is substantially different.

  • Currently working on a version for Thunderbird 78 - you can already get prereleases on my github. Complete conversion is discussed at [issue 64]
  • 2.1.2 fixed a problem in manifest file (stric_max_verseion) that wouldn't allow it to update existing versions.
  • 2.1.1 added strict_max_version to avoid this Add-on being installed in Tb78 - where it would be incompatible
  • Added Icons and fixed look on Address book picker in Filter Editor
  • Corrected a string in german locale from "Nicht ändern" to "Nicht benachrichtigen"
  • [issue 67] Help links in options dialog were misdirected to the wrong page

Version 1.1.0 50.0 KiB Works with SeaMonkey 2.0b1pre - 2.1a1pre, Thunderbird 3.0b3pre - 3.2a1pre

Fixes:

A core bug that prevented custom searches from working in non-filter contexts was fixed in Thunderbird 3.0.5/3.1 beta 2.

A core feature was added, beginning with Thunderbird 3.1 beta 2, that allows IMAP filter actions that need the message body to work. This FiltaQuilla version adds support for that term.

Enabling of filter actions and search terms was divided into separate pages to prevent issues with view overflow.

New features:

Custom action: javascript and javascript (needs body)

Custom action: detach attachments from message (requires Thunderbird 3.1 beta 2 or later)

Custom action: Suffix to subject. Previous action "append to subject", which was misnamed, was renamed to "prepend to subject" though existing defined actions will still work.
