<div id="smartTemplate4-template">
<p>Thanks for the heads up.</p>
<p>Can somebody point me to the page that listed an entry point
for Interface rewrite efforts? I remember seeing one on the Wiki
which was systematized but can't find it anymore. I still want
to go forward (even though I haven't even started to make my
Add-ons compatible with 60.1 - I feel there is a "quantum leap"
necessary - I tried removing install.rdf and writing a
manifest.json for SmartTemplate⁴ but didn't get far even making
it "installable". <br>
</p>
<p>I have no choice but to make my Add-ons future proof because I
now largely live of them. I don't even have a feel for whether
"the time and effort" for rewriting will be worth it (or whether
I can manage it) in any way ...</p>
<p>reminder that we should do a guided walkthrough / developer
hangout with somebody who has successfully converted their
Add-on. The documentation isn wither not there or very obscured
and I have no clue how to write it myself...<br>

<p>After more then 12 years working with the Mozilla technology
and contributing to Reminderfox, today I have to say 'Good Bye'.</p>
<p>The Reminderfox team could not follow the changes required for
Thunderbird 65. Not quite clear what the reasons are, but the
alternatives - implementing the necessary changes for the legacy
technique or rewriting with web extension - take an enormous
amount of time and effort. The team sees no way to do that.</p>
<p>This move is also a bit due to a lack of technical advice and
instructions for add-ons. The Thunderbird development team is
doing a great job, a job that requires a lot of work for the
core. Let my say: Big Thanks for that! <br>
But an important Thunderbird asset is its addons, and for that
the authors should get more technical support. <br>
</p>
<p>The Reminderfox team has inform it's user base about the
upcoming end-of-lifetime -- <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p>Bye</p>
