<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was just asked about whether my Add-ons would run in
Thunderbird Daily (they don't) - so I updated to Tb63... the
good news is that literally all Add-ons don't run (not just my
ones) except for a bootstrapped one. I believe Fallen mentioned
there may be a temporary back door / hack to make them work.
Could somebody point mee to somee resources to write some proof
of concept code? My 100,000 users would be thankful if they knew
I was working on future proofing their Extensions.</p>
<p>I also mentioned to Ryan Sypes that we should have a weekly (or
bi-weekly) hangout with Thunderbird ADd-on developers to discuss
next steps regarding writing APIs for transitioning our Add-ons
to (whatever it is that's going to replace XPCOM) / (Insert your
technology of choice) / (Web Extensions??????). There is only
uncertainty left at the moment, so we badly need an action plan
from the Thunderbird leadership. Don't want to wait until the
next ESR and just "pull the plug". <br>
</p>
<p>Completely rewriting our Add-ons will likely take months, and
that's on top of creating the new extension environment (APIs
etc.).<br>
</p>
<p>thanks in advance,<br>
Axel<br>
