# Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. See [commit-and-tag-version](https://github.com/absolute-version/commit-and-tag-version).

## [1.2.0] (2026-10-18)

The first update on addons.mozilla.org since 1.0. It also delivers everything
in 1.1.0, which was never published there.

- Add an Ask ChatGPT toolbar button: use selected text or open a blank chat,
  honoring saved prompt and tab/window preferences. No new permissions.
  Requires Firefox 112 or newer, like the other new entry points.
- Add Off / Simple / Advanced context-menu modes with migration from the old
  visibility preference. Advanced provides selection presets and link/page URL
  actions, with optional translation and a preferred language or language dialog.
- Preserve dedicated action instructions when shortening selections; ask before
  sending shortened text and reject URLs that cannot be sent intact.
- Add accessible action dialogs with cancellation and retry, remove the temporary
  model/effort URL probe, and document URL sharing. No new permissions.
- Show up front, in the options panel and README, that ChatGPT may require
  signing in and that an unsent prompt needs Enter or Send.
- Limit the prompt template to 1,000 characters, so an oversized template can
  no longer stop every other setting from saving.
- Show the configured keyboard shortcut in the options instructions, updating
  when it changes and indicating when none is assigned, with a button to open
  Firefox’s shortcut editor where supported.
- Shorten the context menu label to “Ask ChatGPT”.
- Add quick usage instructions and guidance for changing the search keyword
  and default engine in Firefox to the options panel.
- Add a “Feedback or report a bug” link to the options panel and README.

## [1.1.0] (2026-07-30)

Adds an options panel and two new ways to reach ChatGPT.

 * Options panel in `about:addons` with five settings: context menu visibility,
   temporary chat, web-search hint, where results open, and a prompt template.
 * Right-click selected text and choose "Ask ChatGPT" to open ChatGPT with that
   text filled in.
 * Keyboard shortcut `Alt+Shift+G` does the same for the current selection, and
   opens an empty chat when nothing is selected. Rebindable via Manage Extension
   Shortcuts.
 * Documented that ChatGPT no longer submits prompts passed in a URL, so a
   second Enter is needed. This is an upstream change to chatgpt.com.
 * `gpt <query>` address-bar search is unchanged.
 * The options panel, right-click item, and keyboard shortcut require Firefox
   112 or newer. Older versions keep the `gpt <query>` search unchanged.
 * Permissions added: storage, menus, activeTab. None of them adds a line to
   Firefox's install prompt.

## [1.0.0] (2024-06-09)

First release of software.

 * favicon - Wanted to use the OpenAI ChatGPT icon but worried about copyright. Without granted permission, have to roll with this icon. (Powered by OpenAI!)
 * Adds ChatGPT as non-default search engine. Queryable by "gpt <search_query>" in user's URL bar. Can configure through browser settings.
