0.6.0.3 fixed the OK button not clearing the filter menu after an edit or copy/paste to filterlist. This was partially fixed in 0.6.0.1, and now seems resolved fully. When editing a filter, you can click on another filter somewhere else to "finalize it," and the hit OK to clear - or just hit OK ONCE and new filter is finalized AND menu cleared.
Thanks, by the way, for consecutively numbering Builds ("0.6.0.3") - helps in archiving previous versions properly.

Ok, Adblock Plus 0.6.0.3 has been released (http://adblockplus.mozdev.org/changelog-0.6.0.3.html). Major changes are:
- Tooltip in the sidebar now shows what filter blocked the item
- "Check parent links" works in a more consistent way
That means that from the seven points listed on the plan for 0.6.1 five are done (two will need some improvement still). Now the only really visible change for 0.6.1 should be filter subscriptions (and grouping of filters in the preferences dialog to make it unproblematic). We are good on schedule (plan was to release 0.6.1 around two weeks after 0.6) and I'm slowing down releasing unless a really critical bug is found. It has been some crazy two days and I have real work to do

ok, so far I guess the changelog between 0.6 and 0.6.0.3 gives us all a good feeling that you are definitely committed to updating this puppy, but I have so concerns and questions:
- can you post a comparison of feature that you have and that the base adblock and the adblock 0.5 version have that you don't have and vice-versa. for example you have sidebar, but you don't have statusbar options, etc.
features and suggestions:
- can you spell out the features you currently include, for example is whitelisting support, very vague about this.
- as crazy as this might seem in the sidebar adding a image or text preview to the bottom half would be FANTASTIC, that way I can preview any blocked and non-blocked images, css, js their instead of on the page, this is especially useful when you have a really long page and can't see the image borders that flash, etc.
- drop-n-drag support for statusbar icon has been there for a very long time and it would be great if it came back
- having statusbar icon, text, etc options are really missed, having text is not my defacto for statusbar and users should have options.
- since you now have an options menu, you should split out the import/export/remove fitlers options into their own menu
- options to sync for files would be good for all the non-filterg or my custom filters, having an option to export the non-filterg entries or something like that would be good.
- sorting by type or address in sidebar
- remove tip of the day link in pref help menu and just add a direct link to the homepage

Combined with this new 0.6 it's terrific.
I know, I use it on TV.com and few other websites to remove the tables where the ads were etc etc.

Thanks I needed something like this.

@mrtech: Please read previous posts here on status bar icon and reordering in the status bar.
I'll consider making a separate menu for things that aren't really options.
Sorting in the sidebar: there is already a bug about it, see http://adblockplus.mozdev.org/bugs.html
The homepage link is in the About dialog where it belongs. The help menu is where people look for information so "tip of the day" is very much valid there. I simply have to come around and actually write some tips...
@Peter(6): Thanks for the report, I'll investigate this. I don't think it really is a leak though. The way Adblock Plus works now it will free things somewhat later than usual - this is reported as a memory leak then. This doesn't have any effect on real browsing.

Well, I would say fixing the whitelisting would be somewhat major It's what is keeping me from using Adblock Plus 0.6.0.3 and stop using Adblock Plus 0.5.11.2.
