Ryan, why won't you let this work in 1.0.7?

Because it came from Christopher Beard's mouth that there's "a strong likelyhood" That Fx 1.5 will be released tomorrow and everyone using 1.0x is encouraged to update to 1.5

Why continue to make software compatible with old versions that mainstream users won't be using anymore?

Re: [Extension] DSLR Notifier 1.0

I think you might be surprised at the amount of mainstream users that are going to stay with 1.0.7 until MoFo fixes some of the more glaring bugs that remain.

All it takes is a few users being affected by these bugs when 1.5 Milestone becomes available to turn the release into a mockery of itself.

Re: [Extension] DSLR Notifier 1.0

I personally would wait a few weeks or like a few extension devs say, "I'm going to provide support for current releases for 3 months and then EOL them to focus on the current Fx version of the extension."

3 months should be enough time for more Fx bugs to be fixed and released. I'll probably update between a week or so from now and 3 months.

Re: [Extension] DSLR Notifier 1.0

That makes sense although 3 months is cutting it close with MoFo who's devs have a history of getting sidetracked on new features and security allowing bugs to sit and linger.

Bugzilla is a wasteland of old unpatched bugs.

Mostly because the 1.0 branch is more than a year old now and lacks or has problems with a few features used in this release (namely <prefwindow> and sizeToContent(); ).

Maintaining backwards compatibility with Mozilla is easy because it uses a completely different overlay, but trying to include the new features for 1.5 while keeping it compatible with 1.0.7 isn't.

Okay. That makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
