TB 91.0 (64-bit) reports this add-on as incompatible #11

Open ElScotto opened 2 years ago

ElScotto commented 2 years ago

The add-on manager for Thunderbird v91.0 complains that this add-on is incompatible with TB 91. The URI for the add-on (found at "https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/duplicate-contacts-manager/" after much jumping around) reports that the add-on "Works with Thunderbird 68.0 - 73.0"

NB: The "homepage" attribute for this add-on points to "https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/2505". This in turn redirects to "https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/duplicate-contact-manager/"; this is the very old v0.0.x iteration of the add-on and should be corrected in the newer versions to point to the updated URI.

Are you going to update this add-on for TB 91.0++ compatibility?

Thanks for pointing this out. In the next version I'll replace the outdated URL by the current one: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/duplicate-contacts-manager/.

+1 on getting updated.

Is there anything we can do to help you with this project.

I fear the only thing that would really help is if someone with experience with the changed Thunderbird API takes over the adaptation.

Lot of add-on developers are unhappy that Thunderbird has changed their API. Sadly, some have abandoned their very useful projects. It's too bad TB's developers have not stepped in to help you.
