<p><tt>That's not accurate. This is what we, or I, know today:</tt></p>
<ul>
<li><tt>60: Already released. Full support for XUL overlay
add-ons, restartless (=bootstrapped) add-ons[1], some support
for WebExtensions. Plans are to add more WE support in
upcoming point releases, maybe starting from TB 60.2.</tt></li>
<li><tt>61, 62: Were not released.</tt></li>
<li><tt>63, 64: To be released as beta. Will support XUL overlay
add-ons (including Calendar/Lightning) via a specially
implemented overlay loader. We'll have to see for which
add-ons that will work. I had word from the author of "Compact
Headers" that his XUL overlay add-on is starting to look good
in TB 63. Glitches that authors need to fix are to be
expected. Interface changes will be listed on [2]. WE support
will increase as more APIs are added.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>65-68: At 65, replacement of restartless add-ons as we
know them today with a similar form of privileged add-on[3].
Even more support for WE. Hopefully we reach a useful/complete
API set at TB 68.<br>
</tt></li>
<li><tt>68: Next ESR version. Same as 65. </tt><tt>Whether </tt><tt>and
when we'll remove the overlay loader (see 63) is unknown. No
plans yet to make Calendar restartless or a WE I know of.<br>
</tt></li>
</ul>

to be corrected.</tt></p>
