Install Scriptish Free and Open Source

A Scriptish First - User Script Updates

By Erik Vold

Like so many features in Scriptish, this was another feature that I had tried very hard to get in to Greasemonkey, because it was a feature that felt I had to have, in fact it’s a feature that I had desperately wanted ever since I started using user scripts back in 2005. So a couple of years ago when I had just started digging in to the Greasemonkey code and learning about Firefox extension development, sizzlemctwizzle and I got started on a branch to implement user script updating for Greasemonkey.

Then when enough features I wanted piled up that weren’t making in to Greasemonkey, I finally decided to fork Greasemonkey and make Scriptish, and this was one of the first features that I merged.

So Scriptish became the first user script engine to natively support user script updating.
