Changes to support Gecko 32 (no longer supports versions prior to 32)

See https://code.google.com/p/mozilla-keychain/issues/detail?id=65

Version 1.1.6.1-signed.1-signed 53.7 KiB Works with Firefox 4.0b9 - 26.*, SeaMonkey 2.20 - 2.20.*, Thunderbird 17.0 - 24.*

- Fix "Manage Passwords..." button on the security preferences panel
- Improve logging when signon.debug is true
- Support for specifying which keychain to use:
- extensions.macos-keychain.write-file: a path to a keychain
to use for storing passwords (e.g. ~/Library/Keychains/my.keychain)
- extensions.macos-keychain.search-path: a list of keychains
(separated by colons) to use when searching for passwords
- Implement nsILoginStorage.isLoggedIn to always return true (see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=839961)
- Log warnings to console on startup if signon.autofillForms or
signon.rememberSignons are false
- Work around a Mozilla bug reading IMAP URLs containing port numbers and
strip off default port numbers for all schemes supported by Keychain
Services
- Fix Boolean attributes
- Fix the creation of keychain items with extended (multibyte UTF-8)
characters
- Add preferences dialog (for now, just the ability to turn on debugging)

Version 1.1.5.1-signed.1-signed 43.2 KiB Works with Firefox 4.0b9 - 24.*, SeaMonkey 2.1 - 2.11.*, Thunderbird 9.0 - 18.*

- Fix a bug causing an import prompt on every startup for new installations

Version 1.1.4.1-signed.1-signed 43.2 KiB Works with Firefox 4.0b9 - 18.*, SeaMonkey 2.11 - 2.11.*, Thunderbird 9.0 - 18.*

Changes in this release:

- Fix null pointer exception in some cases when loading the password from
a KeychainItem
- Include the error code provided by the operating system when an error
is returned from system functions.
- Ensure that all errors returned from the Security.framework are thrown
and either displayed by LoginManager or logged by MacOSKeychainStorage.js
(LoginManager seems to silently consume errors thrown by countLogins()
and findLogins())
- Return an empty string instead of null from LoginInfo.password when a
user disallows access to the keychain item. This is weird but necessary
because LoginManager checks every password's length early in the
process after calling findLogins().
- Detect signon.debug changing so that logging can be enabled and disabled
without restarting.
- Add a check on startup and display a warning if the appliction does not verify
successfully against its signature.

Version 1.1.3.1-signed.1-signed 38.5 KiB Works with Firefox 4.0b9 - 18.*, SeaMonkey 2.1 - 2.13.*, Thunderbird 9.0 - 10.*

Small fix to make Thunderbird work with LDAPS urls and enable Thunderbird support in the manifest (but note that Thunderbird has not been thoroughly tested).

Version 1.1.2.1-signed.1-signed 38.4 KiB Works with Firefox 4.0b9 - 10.*, Thunderbird 9.0 - 10.*

Fix Issue 39: Version 1.1.1 no longer searchs all keychains

Users have reported success with Thunderbird 9 and up, though there are currently known issues when using both Thunderbird and Apple's Mail.app. The extension is not thoroughly tested on Thunderbird.

Version 1.1.1.1-signed.1-signed 38.2 KiB Works with Firefox 4.0b9 - 6.*

Fix a bug preventing importing of passwords from working when you first install the extension.

Version 1.1.1-signed.1-signed 34.7 KiB Works with Firefox 4.0b9 - 6.*

This version is more or less functionally identical to version 1.0.1 however it has been rewritten to use the js-ctypes FFI instead of a binary component. This means that it now supports FF4 and should support 64-bit. It should also make compatibility and bug fixes easier.

I have not tested it on Gecko2-based versions of Thunderbird, however I expect it will work. Please let me know if you test it successfully and I will update the compatibility information accordingly.

Version 1.0.1 38.0 KiB Works with Firefox 3.0 - 4.0b7pre, Thunderbird 3.0b4 - 3.2a1pre

Version 1.0.1 implements the new component registration behaviour required by Gecko 2.0, adding support for Firefox 4 and Thunderbird 3.2 when they come out.

I tested quickly on FF 3.6 and 4.0b4 as well as TB 3.1 and 3.2a1pre. If anything is now broken on earlier versions let me know and I'll update the compatibility appropriately (I have no time to put into maintaining compatibility further back than that).

Version 1.0b1 53.0 KiB Works with Firefox 3.0 - 4.0b1, Thunderbird 3.0b4 - 3.1.*

Tested with Firefox 4.0b1 and Thunderbird 3.1.

- improve logging when creating URIs/URLs fails
- handle failure of URL creation from hostname gracefully by storing in
legacy storage instead (these can later be stored as generic items maybe)
- If no items are found while searching, try searching the legacy storage db.
This bides us time until a migration is implemented... at least you can use your
old passwords. Of course, you also aren't prompted to store them in the Keychain.
- Fix for Firefox 3.0, which doesn't have mozStorage component
- Add a getter to nsLoginInfo classes to have them lookup the password as needed
from the converted KeychainItem. This avoids prompting the user for permission
until Mozilla actually *needs* the password.
- Implement a basic migration when the extension is first loaded
