Version 4.7 of GNU LibreJS has been released.

GNU LibreJS aims to address the JavaScript problem described in The 
JavaScript Trap. 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 download and install this new version from 
http://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/

If you own or maintain a website, please take the time to free your 
JavaScript: http://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/free-your-javascript.html

[BUG FIXED]
* In certain circumstances, free scripts embedded on a page were blocked 
while they should have been allowed to run. This has been fixed.

[CHANGES]
* LibreJS now detects 256 different versions of popular free libraries, 
such as jQuery, MooTools, and Prototype. It uses the SHA1 hashes from 
the upstream files for this purpose. Only verbatim copies of these 
libraries are detected as free by LibreJS.

* A new module has been created to make LibreJS compatible with 
Https-Everywhere. Since IceCat ships with Https-Everywhere, this fix was 
a precondition to the next IceCat release.

* You can now add license information in your JS Web Labels for 
JavaScript that is embedded dynamically.


Please report bugs at bug-librejs@gnu.org and remember to complain to 
websites you visit that have nonfree JavaScript.
