x Full page reload is not triggered anymore when invisible plugin objects
are activated if the parent page has been loaded by a POST HTTP request
(thanks al_9x for RFE)
x Full page reload is not triggered anymore on invisible frame activation
(thanks al_9x for RFE)
x Fixed "Blocked Objects" menu missing on Hotmail inbox (thanks therube
for reporting)
x Object elements used to prefetch JavaScript and CSS content are not
blocked anymore, provided that the parent is whitelisted, This behavior
can be disabled in about:config, noscript.allowCachingObjects (thanks
al_9x for RFE)

v 2.1.1.2rc4

I've been putting off the latest update until I know what the implications are. Can someone please explain in NoScript for dummies language, if possible -- or just dumbed down -- just what all this means. In particular, I'm very hesitant to do anything that will in any way enable anything about hotmail, which is a spammers paradise. I'd also like to understand "Object elements used to prefetch JavaScript and CSS content are not blocked anymore, provided that the parent is whitelisted...."

Maybe this was just a dumb question. Anyone?

There will be no change unless you already have hotmail.com in your whitelist. See http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopi ... 790#p28790 for more details.
