This version aims to fix a problem introduced by recent YouTube changes which was resulting in almost total inability to interact with the player.

The default position of the floating player has been changed to the bottom right corner which is close to the default behavior before the modifications.

The floating player now has a minimum width of 350px to prevent the volume slider from not showing up when placing the mouse over it.

The floating player now cleans itself when entering fullscreen instead of staying in its current size and position.

An oversight on the code was causing the player to become stuck in fullscreen when entering from the pop-out window and dragging it at the same time, this should no longer happen.

A movement threshold has been added before the user can drag the player to a new position, this should improve the ability to pause and play without having to rest the mouse completely.

This version fixes an issue with the recent improvements to the floating player, when switching to fullscreen it would forget its original position causing the player to stand at the top left corner.

The welcome box should no longer appear in incorrect places on first runs, it should now always show right below the settings menu button.

Lots of improvements and a new feature

This version comes with a new feature, Floating player width, which allows users to configure the size of the floater player to one of their preference.

Additionally the player can now be moved just by dragging it around directly, no more buttons.

The pop-out player window also shares the same mechanic, simply dragging the player inside the window will also move the window around the user desktop.

Thumbnail buttons are not covering the channels, allowing users to open any videos or playlists in pop-out mode.

This version focuses mainly on improving the Pop-out mode. The style is now as responsive as possible once the window is first launched. Private playlists are now fully playable in Pop-out mode. All time parameter formats that I could find are now filtered when entering Pop-out mode to prevent resume time conflicts.

Pop-out mode now runs completely closed, it won't change pages or load new content which in return lowers drastically the bandwidth use as well as the video initialization times. The result should be a lighter and faster experience.

Due to an oversight the sprite file in Firefox add-ons was not updated, this has been corrected.

This version includes an improvement for the Pop-out mode feature, once it is launched from an already playing video it will stop it from continue loading data as well as remember which position it was playing at the time. Additionally, the webpage link is now screened for existing time parameters and cleaned accordingly to prevent starting time resume conflicts when opening the video in the Pop-out window.

Due to an oversight in the previous release, the fix for user settings not being applied between playlist transitions was left behind. Another oversight left the Pop-out player size with the incorrect wiki link, this has been corrected.

This version comes with a new feature: Pop-out mode. It is a successor of the now removed Sidebar mode. Users can open any video or playlist in to the same window from multiple YouTube pages and navigate relaxed while watching to his videos or listening to his music.

YouTube is starting to launch a new method of prefetching data between page transitions, which was causing user settings to be missed when changing videos, this version includes an update that should correct this issue.

The advanced options toggle button has its visual feedback improved, users should now understand more easily its purpose.

Theater mode memorization should be improved now, due to YouTube changes it was not working so perfectly as it used to, even though it was still applying the correct size eventually.

A recent change in Chrome was causing issues with the playlist controls visual feedback, causing the appearance of not working when they were, this should no longer happen.

A small security check for the settings loader has been implemented to prevent the add-on from stalling on first runs if the settings return null.
