• This is a big release with major functionality changes:
  • Blacklist entries can now be added to the userscript's UI directly (it's at the bottom of of the page)
  • Modifying the code directly is no longer required
  • This means that upgrading the script will no longer clear out existing entries
• Display version on UI
• Include hyperlink to Greasy Fork
• Internal updates to the test framework

• Two tests added
• All tests hardened:
  • Unexpected test failures shouldn't prevent other code from executing
  • Previously, a failure could halt the entire script
  • I'm preventing this now with my own simple test framework

• Variables used for controlling the script have been moved to the top. This means less scrolling
• A failing test will now prevent any filtering from being attempted
  • If a test fails, it means that HN has changed their HTML, so the chances of filtering working are low.
  • This is easily configurable, so if you want the script to try filtering anyway, in spite of failing tests, you can make it do so
• Will now display the time it took the script to run
• Added a test
• Split code into different classes, making it easier to test and reason about
• Lots of documentation updates
• Lots of miscellaneous internal updates

• Fixed a test
• Added strict mode
• include replaced with match in header metadata
• Now displaying if the user has provided invalid entries or no entries
• More accurate logging
  • Logs will now show why a submission was filtered
  • Invalid entries will log as errors, not warnings
• Bug fix: before users were blacklisted by partial match (a user of bob would match bobby). Users will now match exactly.

• Added tests:
  • HN Blacklist will now run a series of tests to make sure it can filter out submissions effectively.
• Added results display:
  • HN Blacklist will now display a summary of what it filtered out at the bottom of the page.
  • Thanks to Azazello for this feature request.

This version just adds author and homepage userscript metadata.

This version removes some unnecessary 'console.log' statements.

Internal updates.

This release adds support for filtering out submissions based on the user who submitted them.

Filtering by domain now requires adding a 'source:' prefix. See the readme on GitHub or the description on Greasy Fork for more info.

This release just includes internal updates.

Updating to work with changes in HN's HTML.

Title Substring Filtering

You can now filter by title substrings.

In the blacklist, just add a title substring you want to filter, preceded by the string "title:", like so:

"title:Steve Jobs"

And now HN submissions containing "Steve Jobs" will be filtered out. The filtering is case-insensitive.
