Added the ability to extract and display the JPEG Comment (COM) field, as per a user request. Modified the IPTC code to recognize the UTF-8 character code and process the text accordingly. Fixed several minor display problems, including a couple that only manifested in Firefox 4. Verified that the Viewer works properly in the Firefox 4 Beta 11.
Added some non-standard EXIF tags, as per user requests. Added the ability to persistently hide or show the controls at the top of the window.

Made a minor modification to the control layout to allow for a narrower window, based on a user comment. Added separate local and remote History entries to the File menu. Fixed a bug when resizing the window in Firefox 3.x. Added Czech localization, courtesy of Pavel Mrázek.
Augmented the Nikon maker note information, as per a user request. Reorganized the code’s global variables and functions so as to minimize the possibility of namespace conflicts, as per an AMO reviewer request. Fixed some minor issues with the French localization, as well as a major issue with the German localization that only showed up in Firefox 3.5.1 (but not in 2.0.x or 3.0.x).
Reformatted the displayed F-stop and aperture values, as per a user request. Added the ability to format the output as tables rather than lists. Added German localization, courtesy of MAVE@freakmail.de. Fixed a bug that prevented images from being saved after their EXIF data was displayed, and another involving the Nikon maker note.

Fixed various minor bugs. Verified that the Viewer works properly with Firefox 3.0 RC1.
Fixed minor bugs involving the suppression of trailing zeros and the display of some parts of the IPTC Core lists, as well as a couple of other minor issues. Added the ability to launch Google™ Earth if GPS information is included in the EXIF data, with the option of saving the information to a KML file.
Modified the Viewer to handle the change in behaviour in the beta versions of Firefox 3.0 in which long strings without breaking spaces were causing the width of the output area to increase indefinitely, rather than leaving the width as is and displaying a scroll bar; also fixed a problem with expanding and collapsing the IPTC Core lists caused by a change in the tagnames for HTML elements. Verified that everything still works in beta 4.
Fixed a few minor user-reported bugs. Added a quick&dirty way to view rotated versions of JPEGs, using the non-standard CANVAS element. Cleaned up the display of rational numbers, to suppress trailing zeroes. Determined that the Viewer’s user interface is broken significantly by Firefox version 3 beta 1 and even more so by beta 2.
Added the display of the embedded thumbnail JPEG image, in the IFD1 section. Added a “basic information only” option, and made the checkbox settings persistent. Extended the Canon Maker Note metadata.
Fixed a few minor bugs; added support for the IPTC Core (Adobe XMP - Extensible Metadata Platform) metadata; added a quick&dirty print facility; verified that the Viewer works with TB 2.0.0.*.
Fixed four minor, user-reported bugs; added menu hot-keys; added the ability to increase/decrease the text size for the displayed Exif information; made the text size, as well as the window size and position, persistent; completed the localization of the user interface (menu and main window) and added a draft French version; localized most of the Exif information (except for the Maker Notes); added the ability to directly open the Error/JavaScript Console and to copy the text of any error messages to the clipboard; added these Release Notes; extended the Viewer to also display the IPTC metadata (IIM v4.1) when stored in the APP13 block; added Home/End/PageUp/PageDown navigation.
Fixed two minor, user-reported bugs; context menu items suppressed for clearly non-JPEG images and links.
Fixed two minor bugs.
Enhanced the Thunderbird support so that the Exif data for JPEG attachments in received email can be displayed by right-clicking on images in the message pane or attachment list.
Added partial support for Thunderbird. Now you can open the Viewer from the Tools menu as well as view the Exif data for links in messages; viewing the data for JPEG attachments (mailbox://...) will take a bit longer to add.
Now handles “local URLs”; (file://), converting the directory separator as required. *sigh*
Also now includes links to some online mapping websites if the Exif block contains GPS latitude/longitude data.
Fixed a problem displaying text containing certain special characters that was causing an exception to be thrown.
Fixed a problem in which the presence of non-Exif data would prevent the Exif data from being detected.
Includes some bug fixes that may make the extension a little more robust and eliminate some of the problems reported here.
Now can handle remote JPEGs via an input URL. Menu items were added to the browser context menu, making it easier to invoke the Viewer for images and links to images on web pages. User interface cleaned up.
Added text copy functionality, along with a context menu. Added the ability to scroll down to the desired section of the Exif output.
Initial release.
