V2 Manifest ‐ history of move from 529 and You - CameronD73/529renew GitHub Wiki

Obsolete stuff remaining for historical reasons.

Migration from 529 and You to 529Renew

Save your data

Export your data from the old database: choose All users, All chromosomes and use Alt-click on the "save CSV" to get all the database contents. This will only export build 37 results. There is no plan to process build 36.

If you cannot install the interim V2 manifest and export your file to CSV there is another solution. Follow those instructions as far as saving your database. Then ask us for more details, either raise an issue here, or post to the GDAT facebook group.

Import to 529Renew

The Import CSV button on the results tab page understands the format used by 529 and You (it has not changed) and so can import all saved data, with the exception of a few fields that we suspect had very litte use.

Original issues leading to the development here.

With the release of a working version for Manifest V3 in 2022, the remaining points are moot.

installing Manifest V2

original version 3.3.0.0

An archive of the original extension page can still be seen at Crx4Chrome.com and the crx extension file can be downloaded from there. However, neither Chrome nor Edge permit installing of the crx file even in developer mode and after you click through the warnings.

interim modified code

There are some notes on installing a test version of manifest V2.

Manifest version 2 problems

The V2 extension will stop working for everybody in early 2023, according to the Chromium development timetable. It has already been removed for the Chrome Store (for unknown reasons) and does not work for some users.

Aside from those facts, the rapid access to web resources that takes place when scanning for triangulations causes the 23 and me servers to block access until the user logs in again and robotically passes two "I am not a Robot" captcha screens. Some users have reported success with installing the suggested "Privacy Pass", but it does not work for everyone.

This code development started with modifications to add a delay between each request to reduce the load on the server.
