[add-art dev] Fwd: Important information about your add-on and Firefox 3.5 compatibility

[Matt Katz]

We have no binaries to worry about. 

I haven't tested against the beta personally.

 As far as I know, we work in the beta right? I am updating the max
version, but please tell me if you know anything contrary...

AND FIREFOX 3.5 COMPATIBILITY 
  Dear add-on author:

We've noticed that one or more of your add-ons are compatible with a beta
version of Firefox 3.1 but are not yet marked as compatible with 3.5.*,
which
came out recently. If you're already compatible with a previous Firefox
3.1
beta release, chances are all you'll have to do is test your extension
on
Firefox 3.5b4 and update the max version on the developer dashboard to
"3.5.*".
Your extensions will automatically pass the compatibility check without
requiring another file upload. You can read more information about Firefox
3.5 beta 4 and download the new browser here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2009/04/27/firefox-35-beta-4-now-available-for-download/
[6]

Also, please be aware that we have changed the version number for Firefox.
Firefox 3.5 beta 4 is the new version and an explanation for the version
number
change can be found here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2009/03/05/firefox-31-may-become-firefox-35/
[7]

This is only a name change and we expect even fewer compatibility issues
going
forward. For more, read our blog entries on compatibility.
http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/category/compatibility/ [8]

Also, if you have binary components, some important changes have been made
to
the C API which might affect your add-ons. The modified
files can be found
on
this list and you may need to re-compile your add-on to ensure
compatibility
with Firefox 3.5b4:

Thank you for your continued support of Firefox and the Mozilla community.

Best regards,

Firefox Product Team
