3.9.22

3.9.22 (2024.1.31):

• Prevent unexpected slicing of built-in icons in group tabs.

3.9.20 (2024.1.18):

• Expose expert options to control behavior of new tabs opened from links and the "New Tab" command in the simulated tab context menu.
• Use on-memory storage for the cache of sidebar contents, to prevent bloating of Firefox's session file. This means that initialization on the browser startup takes more time, and you can take the old behavior back by a new advanced option.

• Suppress too much RAM usage problem with some themes with animations. (See also the bug 1875100.)

• Increase default interval of the heartbeat between sidebar pages and the background page from 1sec to 5sec for less CPU usage.
• Optimize performance of updating maximum tree level on situations with disabled animation.

• Treat dropped multiselected tabs from Firefox's native tab bar as dropped tree items.
• Update link to the list of known helper addons: now it is an wiki page.
• Introduce a workaround for a platform specific problem: unexpected reaction for drag events is triggered after a finished drag-and-drop actions.

3.9.18

* Add context menu commands and keyboard shortcut slots "Mute/Unmute this Tree" and "Mute/Unmute Descendants".

* Optimize performance of updating maximum tree level on situations with disabled animation.

3.9.16

3.9.16 (2023.7.21):

• Expand ancestors tree while a tab is moved by Ctrl-PageUp/PageDown for better usability.
• Keep tabs scroll-locked even if the cursor is moved while the last tab is being removed.
• Keyboard shortcuts to move focus to next/previous sibling now cycles focus between sibling tabs.
• Add a new expert option to put tabs under a group tab always, even if they are opened from a bookmark folder and already organized as a tree. On such situations TST suppresses opening a group tab, because the group tab was initially introduced just to organize flat tabs opened from a bookmark folder as a tree.
• Attach child tab to the opener tab correctly even if the opener had no child and "when a tab is opened from existing tab, open it as: a child of the parent tab, next to the recently opened child" is chosen.

This introduces a side effect: the toolbar button and the keyboard shortcut to toggle the sidbar visibility may requrie more delay when there are large number of tabs.

3.9.14

3.9.14 (2023.3.13):

• Better simulation of browser.tabs.selectOwnerOnClose on slow environment.

3.9.13 (2023.3.12):

• Better handling of new blank tabs opened as a child of an active pinned tab, when child tabs from pinned parent are controlled.
• Better simulation of browser.tabs.selectOwnerOnClose for tabs opened by other applications.
• Add a new simulated option for Firefox's built-in "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" about dropped links.
• On Windows 11 and other environments, shift sidebar contents without hovering by default to avoid covering scrollbar on tab UI.
• API: Add new notification types try-expand-tree-from-expand-command and try-expand-tree-from-expand-all-command to allow blocking of expansion of tree by context menu commands "Expand this Tree recursively" and "Expand All".
• Update ru locale by wvxwxvw. Thanks!
