[withdrawn] New FAQ entry needed?
We've been getting a lot of reports about the Google XSS issue that was fixed in NoScript 5.0.9. Is this worth a FAQ entry along these lines? -
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

Re: New FAQ entry needed?
I don't think something so specific to an issue is appropriate because it implies it to be a fundamental problem than just a progressive issue that gets resolved. But that's me.barbaz wrote:We've been getting a lot of reports about the Google XSS issue that was fixed in NoScript 5.0.9.

Perhaps I'm missing some context. Is this suggestion different in that way from certain existing entries like FAQ 3.18 and FAQ 3.19?GµårÐïåñ wrote:I don't think something so specific to an issue is appropriate because it implies it to be a fundamental problem than just a progressive issue that gets resolved.

Yes, those are persistent problems with OUTSIDE websites/services that we cannot fix or control so people need to have the heads up when they encounter the problem. If there is a problem with the functionality of NS, that's under our control to fix.barbaz wrote:Perhaps I'm missing some context.

The only viable inclusion that I can see, if not already there; is to warn them that when the legacy support is dropped by default, they should enable it until it is out of legacy, that's it, even that's pushing it, they can find it here already.
