[Help-librejs] GNU LibreJS 5.4.1 released

[Loic J. Duros]

LibreJS 5.4.1 has been released.

You can find the new version at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/?v=5.4.1

Or install the executable file directly at:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/librejs/librejs-5.4.1.xpi

This new version fixes a bug with the code that checks JavaScript Web
Labels pages. The labels pages were sometimes not fully analyzed before
the main page loaded. This resulted in scripts being blocked while they
were tagged as free in the JS Web Labels page. Version 5.4.1 now ensures
the scripts have all been read and checked (and their hash have all been
cached and tagged as free internally) before loading the page.

Many thanks to Nico Cesar for reporting this issue.

Regards,

Loic Duros
