Latest version
Version 5.1.0
Released Aug 7, 2024 - 163.62 KBWorks with firefox 109.0 and later, android 120.0 and laterHeavily optimized detection engine (roughly 20-30x speedup, or where a detection may have taken 100ms before it would now take about 4ms )
the old detection engine was a regex + layered checking through the site which while quick to make is impossible to performance optimize and had several fun edge cases killing performance (hint: whitespace, which is found on all sites)
The new detection engine is a handrolled state-machine with range matching, I have been using the dev-version plugin myself the last couple of weeks, so I have hopefully caught all meaningful problems, but please report any issues on github: https://github.com/Baizey/UniversalAutomaticCurrencyConverterSource code released under GNU General Public License v3.0

Version 2.8.0
Released Oct 20, 2019 - 113.64 KBWorks with firefox 57.0 and later, android 57.0 to 68.*- Added possibility of saving site specific localization
This will be using your 'local' browser storage, so it will not sync across your devices, but this does mean it can be remembered for a near infinite number of websites.
When localization is changed in the mini-converter popup, it will now save it for the specific site you're visiting and remember it for when you return.
- Enhanced localization alerts
The localization alert will now have a number of new features:
1. Quick radio buttons to switch between detected currencies and your defaults for the site
2. Options to save your localization for the site such that the alerts wont show anymore for this domain.
3. The alerts will now disappear by them self after a minute if you haven't dismissed it yourself.

- Adds support for decimal ranges fx 5.5 - 5.6
- Adds support for spacing so it can now properly detect things like $5 - 6
Delayed loading for some some sites:
- taobao.com
This is due to these sites own post loading which conflicts and in most cases outright breaks this extension, this is (hopefully) a temporary fix until a more permanent and proper solution is implemented.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0
Version 2.7.3
Released Aug 23, 2019 - 110.74 KBWorks with firefox 57.0 and later, android 57.0 to 68.*Fixes bug with something like '$50/$50' crashing the converter, will now convert correctly
cause: the 2 '$50' was found in the same text node and currency regex splitter was called on both occasions without being reset, so it failed to find the second currency due start looking from index N rather than from 0.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0

Version 2.6.0
Released Aug 15, 2019 - 165.16 KBWorks with firefox 57.0 and later, android 57.0 to 68.*Added 2 new features:
- Small alert down bottom right when non-default localization currencies are used, like kr and $
- Choice in how replacement should happen:
AGGRESSIVELY was the default and only option for pre 2.6.0, this finds all elements with currencies and replaces all their inner works to convert currencies, occasionally breaking websites.
CAREFULLY is a new replacement type, finds currencies the same as aggressively but will then rather find all text nodes and only convert where currencies are entirely contained in one text node.
INTELLIGENTLY is a new replacement type and also the default settings.
This will find currencies like aggressive does. And it will replace similarly to carefully.
It will however replace across text nodes where needed and is capable of handling currencies, whole number and decimals being in their own text nodes.
if issues are found with intelligent replacement please email baizeydevelopment@gmail.com about it and feel free to change back to either aggressive or the safer careful choiceSource code released under GNU General Public License v3.0
