How do I modify the new 4.6 CiviMail form?

Question

I am the author of a CiviCRM extension that needs to disable, depending on configuration, the URL tracking and open tracking checkboxes of the mailing form. In version 4.4 this was accomplished using hook_civicrm_buildForm (CRM_Mailing_Form_Settings) and calling the freeze method on those elements.

This form hook is not getting called in version 4.6, so how would I go about doing this now?

Thanks for looking.

I ended up adding a small bit of javascript that waits for Angular to build the form, then it disables the checkboxes. Don't know if it's the right way, but it works.

CRM.$(function($) {

function disable_tracking() {
    var i = $('#tab-tracking').length;

    if (i > 0) {
        $('input[name="url_tracking"]').attr('disabled', true);
        $('input[name="open_tracking"]').attr('disabled', true);
    }
    else setTimeout(disable_tracking, 250);
}

if ( (typeof(CRM.crmMailing) == 'object') && (CRM.vars.sendgrid.track_optional == '0') )
    disable_tracking();

})
