0.51.2 — the same build, with a test that no longer cries wolf

Fixed (tests only): a check on loading more comments failed now and then on a busy machine. It read the thread before the next batch had arrived; the extension was right every time. Nothing you use changed.
0.51.1 — what Sheddit says about itself, corrected

Fixed: the options page said video was the only thing that makes a request, a few lines below the switch for the version check that also makes one. It names both now.
Fixed: the header's auto switch said "no more than once every twenty hours". A check that failed is retried after an hour; the tooltip says so, and so does PRIVACY.md.
Changed: a full read of the documentation against the code — about 150 statements that had gone stale. No behaviour changed. See the changelog.
0.51.0 — the front page loads more posts again

Fixed: infinite scroll on the front page stopped after the first batch. Reddit hands the page a hidden element to fetch the next posts, and Sheddit triggers it because Reddit's own layout is hidden — but Reddit now uses that same kind of element for the community cards that pop up when you hover a subreddit name, and Sheddit was triggering one of those instead. Measured live: stuck at 27 posts, 52 once the right one was triggered. Ruled out two ways now, so renaming one of them does not bring it back.
Known: load more can still stick on your own profile overview — a second cause, still open. See the changelog.

0.50.0 — the signed-in corner, against today's Reddit

Fixed: log out never found Reddit's control. Reddit's item is a plain focusable box inside a custom element, none of the shapes Sheddit searched for; it is named now.
Fixed: when log out failed, the fallback showed your avatar on a dark page instead of Reddit's menu — the avatar sits inside the menu button and matched the same search.
Fixed: your username was never read; the corner said "logged in" everywhere. Reddit stamps the name on the page from the first byte in one place, and Sheddit reads it there — and only there.
Fixed: the top-level reply box. Reddit's collapsed box now has a hidden post button, which defeated 0.48.0's test for "open"; Sheddit reads visibility instead. And focusing the field inside the box opens it where a click did not, so a reply to a fresh thread goes through from Sheddit's box. Blank lines in a reply now post as paragraphs.
Fixed: a black band under short pages in the classic theme.
Known: load more on your own profile overview sticks; a post on that overview is not shown. Both need a reading from the page.

0.49.0 — the reply box, corrected

Fixed: 0.48.0 said it had removed the way a save could lose your draft. It had removed one and left another: a save could report success, post nothing, and close the form with your text gone. Sheddit had been accepting Reddit's box going empty as proof of a post — which is also what the box looks like when Reddit quietly rejected the text. Only your comment actually appearing counts now; if it hasn't in time, the draft stays.
Fixed: a reply with a blank line in it was always reported as failing, even when it went in perfectly, and then written into Reddit's box a second time.
Fixed: Sheddit could type into its own reply box instead of Reddit's, doubling your draft — measured twice. It now only uses the browser's typing command when Reddit's editor verifiably has the cursor.
Why the tests missed it: the fixture posted its pretend comment under the wrong name, so every reply test had been passing on the same weak signal that failed live.
Known: finding the Reply button on a comment is unreliable; one of three saves on the same comment could not find it at all. Needs a reading before it gets a fix.

0.48.0 — the signed-in reply box

Fixed: a fault that could have posted an empty comment in your name. Sheddit puts your draft into Reddit's own box and presses Reddit's own button; it checked the text had arrived by reading the box back immediately, before Reddit's editor had accepted or rejected it — so text about to be discarded still read as present, and that reading authorised pressing post. It now waits to see the text stay. Your draft was never at risk.
Fixed: the wrong step was blamed every time. Reddit ships its comment box collapsed and builds the editor only when you click it; Sheddit could not tell that from an open box, so it reported "could not put the text into Reddit's reply box" about a box that had never opened.
Fixed: when Sheddit hands you to Reddit's own box it hides its own layout — and the sentence saying where your draft went was written into that layout. It now appears in the bar beside "← back to sheddit" too.
Changed: it tells you the thing that works. Reddit opens that box only for a real click and an extension's does not count — but yours does, and it stays open: click Reddit's box once, press "← back to sheddit", save again.

0.47.0 — what a logged-out session on live Reddit found

Fixed: clicking an arrow while logged out moved the score and lit the arrow without casting anything, and the wrong number stayed until you reloaded. Sheddit forwards votes to Reddit's own button rather than making requests itself, and treated that button's presence as proof you were signed in — Reddit shows it to everyone now. A vote is only shown as cast where something can answer for it; otherwise the arrow says you are not logged in.
Fixed: changing pages emptied the screen until the next one arrived — five seconds of nothing on a live click, with the browser too busy to draw a replacement. The page you were reading stays up until the new one is ready.
Fixed: an image on a comments page drew at full height and pushed the whole comment tree below the fold. Capped against the window now.
Fixed: share was a link to the post's own page, so on a comments page it went where you already were. It opens a box with the link in it, as old reddit did.
Fixed: a profile Reddit hides said "has nothing on this tab", which reads as Sheddit failing rather than as Reddit's answer.
Fixed: posts keeping their picture URL in a responsive image set lost their thumbnails, leaving gaps down a listing.
Known: load more can stick on some listings. See the changelog.

0.46.0 — comment voting works

Fixed: voting on a comment. 0.45.0 said this could not be done from here; that was wrong. Reddit builds a comment's vote buttons only when the comment has a position on screen, and the stylesheet that hides Reddit's own copy of the page — kept in the document because votes and replies go to Reddit's own controls — was also flattening it to a single pixel. One rule, two effects, and only the hiding was wanted. The copy is hidden the same four ways and keeps its dimensions now, and clicking a comment arrow brings the row it needs into view first. Screen readers still get one copy of the page, not two, and your place in a thread does not move when you vote.
Fixed: replying to a comment no longer takes you to Reddit's own page to finish. Reply sits in the same part of Reddit's page and was missing for the same reason; it is resolved in place now, so an ordinary reply is posted from Sheddit's box. Carrying your draft into Reddit's composer is still the fallback if something else goes wrong.

0.45.0 — the reply box takes typing, and a dead arrow admits it

Fixed: you could not type into Sheddit's reply box, and the keystrokes went to Reddit as keyboard shortcuts instead — h hid the post you were replying to, and one key navigated away and took the draft with it. Reddit's shortcut handler did not recognise our box as somewhere text goes, so it treated every key as a command and cancelled the typing. Keys inside Sheddit's own boxes no longer reach it.
Fixed: voting on a comment was a silent no-op — the arrow did not light, the score did not move, and nothing said why.

0.42.0 — the account corner opens

Added: the avatar and your name are a button now, opening a menu of Reddit's own account pages — my profile, saved, messages, preferences — ending in log out. Logging out presses Reddit's own control rather than building a request; if it cannot find it, Reddit's menu is shown instead so the button is one visible click away.
Added: logged out, the corner says logged out and links to Reddit's login page. It is the only login affordance in the extension, it never nags, and the whole corner disappears if you turn the account setting off.

0.41.0 — the header says who you are

Added: an account corner at the far right of the header, where old reddit kept it. Sheddit used to say "logged in" beside the theme buttons, which read as a caption on the theme bar; this is the answer to 'does it know I'm signed in?' in the place people have looked for a decade.

0.40.0 — galleries read one picture at a time

Changed: a gallery is a slideshow — one frame on screen with a ‹ 2 of 6 › control under it, in place of the sideways-scrolling row. The box stays the size of one picture however many frames the post has, so a long gallery no longer pushes the comments off the bottom of the page, and only the frame you are looking at is downloaded.

0.39.0 — pictures at the size they were uploaded

Fixed: a post's picture rendered at 640px when a full-size copy was sitting in the same page. Reddit offers the original alongside smaller resizes, and only the resizes state a width — so the original scored nothing and lost to them.

0.38.0 — galleries show every picture

Fixed: a gallery post rendered only its first image. Reddit keeps the other frames in an attribute it fills in when its own carousel advances — which never happens here, since Sheddit replaces that carousel. Every frame is read straight from the page now.
Changed: a gallery's frames sit in one sideways-scrolling row instead of stacking down the page.
