* A number of memory leaks have been fixed, but some still remain. This means that, for the time being, users of Ubiquity may experience Firefox slowing down after periods of extended use.

This means that, for the time being, users of Ubiquity may experience Firefox slowing down after periods of extended use. We're really sorry about this and are making it a priority to fix these for Ubiquity's next release. The workaround for now is to restart your browser whenever it seems to slow down. | ||

== For Skin Authors == | |||
* The DOM structure of the command window has changed because the preview area for commands is no longer chrome-privileged (see above). Because of this, the CSS for skins needs to change, and skins for previous versions of Ubiquity probably won't work very well with 0.1.7. The [[Labs/Ubiquity/Skins/|Skinning Tutorial]] has changed to reflect these alterations. ([https://ubiquity.mozilla.com/trac/ticket/612 #612]) | |||
= 0.1.7.1 Hotfix = | |||
On March 25, 2009, a 0.1.7.1 hotfix was issued that added the '''VideoSurf''' command and set it as the default video search command. This hotfix also moved Ubiquity's main XPI hosting server from ubiquity.mozilla.com to addons.mozilla.org. | |||
