It would be great to see a general posting about the current
status and further upcoming necessary changes. Someone of the TB
Council or the Engineering Steering Committee should take the
responsibility for such a channel. Not making the situation public
is very destructive not only for the TB contributors but also for
the TB users.

<p>Maybe there was a misunderstanding. Let me say it again:</p>

<p>So I've been in direct contact with a few select add-on authors.
In general I think add-on authors should try their add-ons in each
beta version, so there are no surprises when a release version
comes.</p>
<p>There have been postings to the Maildev and
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:dev-apps-thunderbird@lists.mozilla.org">dev-apps-thunderbird@lists.mozilla.org</a> mailing lists about
interfaces that have changed. All these should be compiled into a
"cookbook" as a Wiki page.</p>
