Summary

2.8 (2013-03-16): Adapting this extension to Chrome's new rules regarding the manifest_version attribute, no other changes: http://blog.chromium.org/2013/02/updates-to-manifest-v1-chrome-web-store.html

2.7 (2012-05-09): Adapting this extension to Gmail's recent code changes: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/better-google-notification-experience.html

2.4 (2011-09-06): Hiding the very rarely useful people widget to reclaim space (the message takes up the entire width of the screen again). Therefore, "Map this" and "Add to calendar" links are gone.

2.3 (2011-07-13): Hiding the entire center area of the footer in the inbox view (including the "disable buzz" link).

2.2 (2011-06-29): Showing Gmail's new people widget. As a result, the message will not take up the entire width of the screen anymore. (But "Map this" and "Add to calendar" links are back).

2.1 (2011-05-08): Making the links to act on a conversation (new window, ...) appear again at the top of the conversation.

2.0 (2011-04-04): Adapting this extension to Gmail's recent code changes.

1.9 (2011-03-27): No new feature, just complying with the Google Chrome Webstore Branding Guidelines.

NEW in 1.8: Hide Gmail ads that appear below Gmail messages.
