2.0.2 looks to be the most recent version.
Softpedia has that.
APO has that.
commander.shtml points to APO, so that's the same.
commander.shtml includes a link to the older version for PM 27 users.

There's a hash (SHA256, I believe) in the download link you can compare against.

Code: Select all

Thank you. Perhaps a sentence on one or both web pages adding such clarity would be constructive; just a suggestion.

Like if one page said it was talking about 2.0.2, and the other said it was talking about 2.0.0?

That kinda clarity?

Perhaps more like "This page / link is for legacy users still on PM 27."

Both versions target PM 27.*
(Read the 'Release Information' column, right side of the page.)

Probably this page just didn't get updated/slipped through a crack.

I agree, this page creates a bit of confusion. It states, in pertinent part:

You can go to the Pale Moon Add-ons site where the add-on is listed:

https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/pm-commander/

Or you can download and install the add-on right from this page:
Version intended for Pale Moon 27.0 - 27.*: Add to Pale Moon

Alternatives:

Download the add-on from SoftPedia


So is PMC for PM 28, or just through 27, or ???

Are there any plans for updated PMCommander (v2.1.x or something)
to work with PM 28.* ?

Thank you

Yes there are. But it takes time to work on this extension since v28 has a LOT of changed/new/removed preferences.

When one changes a setting using PM Commander, is that change permanent, or does it revert if PM Commander is disabled or removed?
