- Internet Explorer 8 and 9: Several polyfills to get the core extension to work
- Internet Explorer: Updated Drag and drop to get it to work in IE8, 9 and 10
- Internet Explorer: Effective non-breaking wmode=opaque (opt-in for IE8, opt-out for IE9/10, unnecessary for IE10 @ Windows 8)
- Options:
* Removed suggestion for Opera UserJS (because the extension offers significantly better performance, because
normal UserJS cannot perform cross-origin requests, and an intermediate CORS-proxy adds a slight (time) overhead)
* Added Internet Explorer extension link and documentation
* Internet Explorer 8: Fix for CSS opacity and gradients (using filter) and :checked
* Internet Explorer 9: Fix for CSS gradients (using svg) and list numbering (IE9-only regression)
* All: After resetting the preferences, the true defaults are shown (previously, sources would be shown as disabled even
when their default status is "not disabled").
- Unit tests: Extended the tests for the toDOM method (detection of unwanted script execution)
- Internet Explorer: Written a BHO in C++ (no ATL or MFC) which provides an efficient and reliable way to load
content scripts. Also created a cross-platform (x86 and x64) installer using Wix which
allows for a quick and easy installation.
- Build script: Added a simple preprocessor which conditionally includes/excludes code using IFDEF_IE and IFNDEF_IE directives,
so that versions for other browsers do not need to suffer from Internet Explorer's stupidity

- Opera: Non-minified options.js, included license notes for almond.js (to comply with submission guidelines)
