Hello,

I am happy to announce the release of LibreJS version 4.8.

GNU LibreJS aims to address the JavaScript problem described in the 
JavaScript Trap<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html>. 
LibreJS is a free add-on for GNU IceCat and other Mozilla-based 
browsers. It blocks nonfree nontrivial JavaScript while allowing 
JavaScript that is free and/or trivial.

You can find the source package and an installable file for version 4.8 
in the project page: http://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/

This is a maintenance release. It fixes the following minor bugs:

* Web page character encoding: In rare cases, the content of the <body> 
tag for certain web pages would not be properly parsed. This would 
result in a blank page.

* The SHA1 hash of certain JavaScript files was not properly generated 
due to the character encoding specified in the response headers.

* The most current versions of the current free libraries have been 
added to the database.


Thank you,

Loic Duros
GNU LibreJS & IceCat maintainer
