Here are some additional good news during this big HIVE pump.
1.8.4.1 is already out on Firefox and will hopefully be on the Chrome Store soon.
Latest updates
requestProxy
A new requestProxy function can be used as follow :
hive_keychain.requestProxy(username,proxy,callback);
proxy must be either the account serving as proxy, or an empty string to remove a proxy.
Keychainify Update
Keychainify, when enabled in the settings triggers a Keychain popup for transfer, delegation, witness votes and now proxy, when a corresponding HiveSigner window is open.
Most of my work this week was directed to update Keychainify to work when no account is specified on HiveSigner, which is often the case. When that happens,Keychain will open a popup with a dropdown containing all the accounts that have the desired authority.
Let's see an example of how this works!
Other changes
- Design adjustments
- Resolved issue #41 by making the scrollbar visible
Next Steps
