Hi Amy,<br>
<br>
could you prepare a page on mdn dedicated to Thunderbird 24.0
breakages and code snippets in order to pull all Thunderbird Addon
authors in? The aim is to have something on mdn that we can
contribute snippets to to make update easier for less active Addon
developers.<br>
<br>
I think it would be a good idea to have such a thing but only if it
is easily discoverable to this specific group: I suggest that once
we have a few snippets up, we publish to all addon authors via this
channel.<br>
<br>
In particular I have 2 examples that I would like to contribute:<br>
<br>
One regards the removal of widgetglue.js which leads to
GetMsgFolderFromUri being unknown (I think this one will land in
Tb25 so it is not that urgent yet, but it already affects users of
Daily and Nightly builds). The other one is the transition of many
Tb variables from nsIMutableArray to nsIArray, particularly
nsIMsgAccountManager.accounts, which will break if you iterate on it
using "Count()". I am sure others could come up with more examples
and we do not want users to experience major breakages because of
easy to fix bugs introduced by code refactoring on comm-central.<br>
<br>
Could you put something together that we can contribute to on mdn? I
think the aim is to get one central page (we Addon authors can add a
technical section with examples once the main blurb is written) that
is easily discovered and heavily publicised via <i>this </i><i></i>channel
(Mozilla Add-ons) and the blog + facebook groups. It wouldn't make
sense for me to just make an isolated page about GetMsgFolderFromUri
that nobody can find...<br>
<br>
I am cc'ing internal AMO & tb-planning (where I raised the issue
first) for feedback and suggestions on other examples relevant to
Tb24.<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
Axel<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear add-on author,
Thunderbird 24 is coming soon - We've just released our second beta, and it will be released to users on 17th September.
This will be the first big update released to users for a year, so please check your add-ons. You can download Thunderbird 24 from:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/all-beta.html">http://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/all-beta.html</a>
In the meantime, we'll be running our remaining add-on compatibility checks over this week, so expect some more emails as we attempt to bring you up to date to TB 24.
So here's the normal email details that you get:
Good news! Our automated tests did not detect any compatibility issues with your add-on quickFilters and Thunderbird 22.*. We've updated your add-on's compatibility to work with Thunderbird 22.* so that our Beta users can begin using your add-on.
We encourage you to view the results of the compatibility test, as some compatibility issues may have been detected but without enough certainty to declare the add-on incompatible: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/developers/addon/quickfilters/validation-result/233066">https://addons.mozilla.org/developers/addon/quickfilters/validation-result/233066</a>
This compatibility bump is server-side and we did not modify your add-on package in any way.
For more information on our new compatibility process with rapid Thunderbird releases, please read this post: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/04/19/add-on-compatibility-rapid-releases/">http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/04/19/add-on-compatibility-rapid-releases/</a>
Thank you,
Thunderbird Add-ons team
