Name updated.

Changelog: v1.4 → v5.6.4

Script Renamed

GitHub | Releases Full Topic Exporter → GitHub Repo Exporter — Releases · Issues · PRs · Discussions

Major Changes

Complete Architecture Rewrite

• Entire script rebuilt from the ground up, moving from a single-purpose tool to a multi-feature exporter
• Replaced HTML page scraping approach with direct GitHub REST API and GraphQL API calls
• Reorganized code into self-contained modules (Releases, Issues, UI) instead of a flat function structure

Releases: New Data Source

• No longer scrapes rendered GitHub release pages or fetches lazy-loaded asset fragments from the DOM
• Now pulls all release data directly from the GitHub Releases API, including full asset metadata
• Release note bodies are now rendered from raw Markdown using the marked library instead of copying pre-rendered HTML
• Auto-links issue/PR references (#123), @username mentions, commit SHA hashes, and cross-repo references within release notes
• Assets now display download counts, SHA256 digests, upload dates, and file sizes
• Assets are automatically classified by type (Installer, macOS, Linux, Archive, Signature, Checksum, Attestation, Mobile, Source)
• Source code archive links (zip and tar.gz) are automatically included
• Emoji reactions on releases are now displayed (👍👎😄🎉😕❤️🚀👀)

New Feature: Issues, Pull Requests & Discussions Index

• Brand new capability to export a complete index of all Issues, Pull Requests, and Discussions in a repository
• Uses the GitHub REST API for Issues and Pull Requests, and the GraphQL API for Discussions
• Supports selective export — choose any combination of Issues, PRs, and Discussions via checkboxes
• Number range filtering allows targeting specific items (e.g., 1-500 or 1,5,10-50)
• When a token is set and a range is specified, uses efficient GraphQL batch lookups instead of paginating through all pages
• Tracks open/closed/not planned/answered status for each item
• Displays labels associated with each item
• Items are sorted by number in the final output
• Includes a summary count broken down by type
• Output clearly notes this is an index listing only — titles, status, and links, not full content

Authentication Support

• Added GitHub Personal Access Token management with save, clear, and masked display
• Token is persisted across sessions and page loads
• Increases API rate limit from 60 to 5,000 requests per hour
• Required for Discussions export and GraphQL batch queries
• Token input section is collapsible with a status badge showing whether a token is set

Rate Limit Handling & Resume

• Detects rate limiting (HTTP 403 with zero remaining) and pauses automatically
• Displays rate limit status and reset time for both Releases and Issues sections independently
• Export can be resumed from where it stopped after the rate limit resets — no need to start over
• Tracks pagination position, GraphQL batch index, and discussion cursor for seamless resumption

UI Overhaul

Old UI Removed

• Removed the single floating green "Load All Releases" button
• Removed the post-fetch "Download .html" and "Download .txt" action buttons that replaced the main button

New Panel UI

• Added a collapsible floating panel accessed via a "📋 Repo Lister" toggle button
• Panel contains separate sections for Releases and Issues/PRs/Discussions, each with independent controls
• Each section has a multi-state action button (Start → Cancel → Resume → New Export) that reflects current status
• Each section has three output buttons: open HTML in a new tab, download as HTML, and download as Markdown
• All output buttons are disabled until data is available
• Added real-time status display showing item counts, number ranges, and progress
• Added light/dark theme toggle with preference persistence
• Added debug log toggle per section with a scrollable log viewer and clear button
• Added Ko-Fi support link
• Displays the current repository name in the panel header
• Panel automatically constrains its height to fit the viewport
• Panel width locks during fetching to prevent layout flicker from changing status text

Export Format Changes

Removed

• Plain text (.txt) export has been removed entirely — this previously extracted text from the DOM with special handling for blockquotes and code blocks
• HTML export no longer copies GitHub's stylesheets and page structure

Added

• All HTML exports are now fully self-contained with custom dark-themed CSS — no external dependencies, works completely offline
• Markdown (.md) export added for both Releases and Issues/PRs/Discussions
• Release HTML output uses styled cards with tag badges, author/date metadata, collapsible asset tables with full details, and reaction badges
• Issues HTML output uses color-coded status indicators (green for open, red for closed/not planned), type labels, and associated labels
• Issues output includes a disclaimer noting it is an index listing only

Scope & Navigation Changes

Broader Page Matching

• Previously only activated on release pages (/releases)
• Now activates on all repository pages, with intelligent detection to exclude non-repo pages (settings, explore, trending, etc.)

SPA Navigation Support

• Added listeners for GitHub's Turbo-based single-page navigation events
• Handles turbo:load, turbo:render, turbo:frame-load, and popstate events
• Includes a polling fallback that checks for URL changes every second
• Releases data resets automatically when navigating to a different repository
• UI is created or removed dynamically based on whether the current page is a valid repository

New Dependencies

• marked library (v17.0.1) — used to render Markdown release notes into HTML
• GM_openInTab — opens generated HTML previews in a new browser tab
• GM_getValue / GM_setValue — persists authentication token and user preferences across sessions

Persistent Preferences

The following settings are now saved and restored automatically:

• GitHub Personal Access Token
• Light/dark theme choice
• Issues checkbox state
• Pull Requests checkbox state
• Discussions checkbox state
• Debug log toggle state (separate for Releases and Issues sections)
