Tagtician Release Notes
10/23/26: 2.1.2 - The one that came to Firefox
- Tagtician is now available for Firefox! Get the Firefox add-on
- Fixed an issue where some sites could think Adobe Launch had already loaded when it hadn't, which could stop those sites from sending some of their tracking calls while Tagtician was installed
- Every release is now tested to make sure pages behave exactly the same with and without Tagtician installed
10/20/26: 2.1.1 - The one that found the self-hosted libraries
- Self-hosted environments from the Adobe Tags UI are now saved too. Before, they were quietly dropped
- Since a self-hosted library lives on your own server, Tagtician asks where it's hosted the first time you pick one. Use Apply to all to set the host for every environment on that server at once
- Tagtician learns a self-hosted library's host when you visit a site running it, and you can change it in Edit mode. Plain http:// hosts work too, for local dev servers
- Properties saved from the Tags UI are now expanded in the Environments window, so they don't look missing
- Thanks to highlearn for the feedback that led to this release
10/20/26: 2.1.0 - The one that switches environments
- New Launch Environments window - open it from the menu or by clicking the environment badge
- Load any saved Launch environment onto the site you're inspecting. Run your Development or Staging library on the live site without touching the site's code
- It even works on pages that don't have Launch yet
- Switches last until you clear them or close the browser. While one is active the header turns orange and shows which environment is loaded, with an X to clear it
- If a switched library doesn't load, Tagtician tells you why and gives you a way to undo it
- Environments with nothing published yet (like an unbuilt Development library) can't be selected, so you won't break the page
- Tagtician saves the environments it sees: open the panel in the Adobe Tags UI to save every environment for a property, and any site you inspect is saved too. Only names and library URLs are kept, never credentials
- Saved environments are grouped by organization and property. Search by domain, rename organizations, and forget what you don't need
- Saved environments sync across your devices signed into the same browser
- Clicking empty space outside the details shelf closes it
- Lots of stability fixes
9/30/26: 2.0.2 - The one that added some color
- JavaScript and HTML in code boxes are now syntax-highlighted
9/29/26: 2.0.1 - The one that tidied up the panel
- Every code box has a copy button
- Custom code stored in external files is loaded and shown in place of the file's URL. Tagtician only loads these from Adobe's CDN or the site's own Launch library host
- Rule actions are shown as a numbered timeline, so you can see the order they run in
- The library list is grouped into cards, with group labels that stay put as you scroll
- The detail shelf is wider, so there's more room to read settings and code
- Components with no settings now say "No Settings Available" instead of showing an empty box
- Long values in Library Stats wrap instead of running off the edge, and Turbine gets its own line
9/27/26: 2.0 - The one that came back
- Rebuilt from the ground up for Chrome's Manifest V3
- Hooks into Adobe Launch (Tags) before the library runs, so rules that fire on page load are captured
- Rules that fired before you opened DevTools now show up too
- No special permissions, no background process, and nothing added to pages that don't use Launch
- A faster, lighter panel - jQuery, jQuery UI, and moment.js are gone
- Search results are filtered and highlighted as you type
- CSV export now quotes values properly and guards against spreadsheet formula injection
- Everything shown in the panel is escaped, since it all comes from third-party libraries
- No more calls to our old server, no more Google Analytics tracking, and the dead sign-in and cloud buttons are gone
- Retired Adobe DTM support. Adobe retired DTM in 2020, so we finally did too
11/9/21: 1.150 - The one that cleaned house
