Version 1.0.0 of cross-browser framework for creating Kango extensions released

After a year and a half of development, the final release of the Kango framework was released.
With Kango, you can create extensions immediately under 5 browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer) using common JavaScript code.

When developing, many wishes were taken into account, including Habr's users ( last post ).

Kango main features:

• Content scripts: modification of the content of pages using Greasemonkey compatible user scripts.
• Background scripts: scripts that run when the browser starts and run while it is open.
• JavaScript support for libraries (for example, jQuery) in content and background scripts.
• The ability to add a button to the browser with a pop-up HTML window.

What is new in version 1.0.0:

• Support for the latest browsers.
• Improved Messaging API performance in Firefox and Internet Explorer.
• Added the ability to create an extension options page.
• Added the ability to close the browser taboo by calling the KangoBrowserTab.close method.
• Fixed bugs and optimized the entire code.

What's next:

• Add an API for pop-up alerts.
• Bootstrapped extensions for Firefox (it will be possible to install the extension without restarting the browser).
• Internationalization support (partially implemented).
