When operating TB5 with add-on compatibility check turned off, Colored Diffs 
seems to work fine. So hopefully, not much is to be done to make it officially 
compatible with TB5.

Works as expected with Windows 7, TB 5.0 and Colordiff 0.6.2010.07.17.13.19.31
Only smilies in commit messages are displayed as image and than additional as

When I try to install that version TB tells me it's not compatible to TB5. How 
did you get it installed?

Go to Tools->Options->Advanced->Config Editor
Create a new boolean value with the name "extensions.checkCompatibility.5.0" 
and set the value to "false". Then enable Colored Diffs in the AddOns manager.

Warning: this will turn off that version-incompatible addons are automatically 
disabled for ALL addons, even if they REALLY are incompatible, so use with 
caution. Look into the AddOns manager to manually disable other incompatible 
addons.

Disabling version compatibility testing should not be recommended especially 
when all that is needed is an update to the max version variable in the rdf 
file. This should have been fixed by now if all works as expected in TB version 
5. Its only 1 line in the rdf file guys and not even a full line.

I did change the maxversion to 5.* and it's working as it should. Can't see any 
issues (after 10 min of use).

does work.

I wound up with a file

7.0.1 agreed to install. It seems to work fine after light testing.

Finally, someone interested enough in that project to support it :)
I'll send you the private keys so you can sign build properly, otherwise 
Thunderbird will not update it.

TB 8 is out now. Change of the maxVersion line to 8.* seems enough.
