NoScript v10: devel. history and date - small improvement?
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2018 4:00 pm
Hello. I would like to write about something, that I really miss for a long time, for example, on the https://noscript.net/getit website. What I mean is a... date! Yes, date of a new Development version etc. Mr Giorgio what do You think about adding a date of a release, next to the Development version number? Now it looks this way:
So, maybe adding a date of release is also a good idea? I know, that it's not so important but it could be very helpful for users in future etc. (Or when something added e.g. in version x.y.z will be needed for someone for a various reasons and he/she knows only a date of release, then it will be much easier to find it and so on). So, it could looks something like this:
Another "date" variants. There can be added hour with seconds (1.st variant) or just day, month, year (2.nd variant) etc. (date are examples, of course!):
Another date formats could be (here is an example for NoScript v5 and with date moved to the right):
So what do you think? Is it worth to add something like this? If we, for example, will look on a big Open Source project, there always is a date of a release, even for a Development versions etc. And NoScript is definitely an amazing Open Source Project! :- )
Thanks.
